Muscat: The landscape and external spaces design for the first phase of Sultan Haitham City has won the Best Landscape Architectural Design award for 2025-2026 at the Arabian Property Awards. This achievement was made in partnership with LWK + Partners and Meinhardt, specialised in urban and engineering design fields.
This accolade affirms the quality of planning and design that considers the human and environmental dimensions. It features a balanced distribution of open spaces and the integration of the urban landscape with green pathways and pedestrian walkways, thereby enhancing the quality of life and solidifying the concept of smart and sustainable cities.

Sultan Haitham City, she noted, is an integrated model in design that connects people with their environment, bringing a balanced character of functionality and beauty to daily life.
The project is being implemented in partnership with a selection of local and international companies specialising in design and engineering supervision. Implementation work has commenced on infrastructure projects and the first residential neighbourhoods, in collaboration with local and international developers. This is part of a comprehensive development plan that aligns with the highest urban standards and embodies the city's goals for sustainability and quality of life.

This achievement solidifies Sultan Haitham City's position as an exemplary national project, reflecting Oman's direction in building modern, integrated cities according to standards of sustainability, quality of life, and balanced planning, in line with the objectives of Oman Vision 2040.
