In a landmark for Oman’s real estate sector, The Arc at The Sustainable City – Yiti set a national record with the sale of a penthouse priced at more than OMR 2 million ($5.2 million). This milestone shows growing demand for sustainable luxury properties and highlights Oman’s ambition to lead the region in net-zero living.
A Historic Sale Redefining Luxury
The penthouse, now Oman’s most expensive residential property, sold before the project’s official launch. Phase one generated more than OMR 10 million ($26 million) in sales, proving strong buyer confidence.
The property offers sweeping views of the sea, mountains, and marina. It features a private lobby, expansive open-plan living, and a signature show kitchen. Interiors include bespoke fittings, designer elements, and premium materials. Residents also enjoy a private terrace pool and a gated parking area—an Oman first.
Mahmoud Shehada, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer of The Sustainable City – Yiti, emphasized the importance of the sale:
“Securing Oman’s most expensive penthouse alongside OMR 10 million in sales highlights the demand for sustainable luxury living. It reflects the confidence of regional and global buyers in our vision of lifestyle, legacy, and long-term investment value.”
The Arc: A Benchmark for Sustainable Living
The Arc includes 132 serviced residences designed with coastal elegance and sustainability at the core. Buyers can choose between three collections, each crafted for wellness and environmental responsibility.
Demand has come from Omani nationals and international investors alike. This reflects a global shift toward purposeful, eco-friendly real estate. Full completion of the project is scheduled for 2026, with The Arc contributing to a mixed ecosystem of homes, retail, hospitality, education, and recreation.
