The Magna Staff Village (MSV) is core infrastructure for NEOM’s Gulf of Aqaba development, providing year-round housing for its operational workforce. Set within a 3.5 million sqm “Super Plot,” it will initially house approximately 6,500 residents, expandable to 10,000, alongside a 250-key hotel, retail, healthcare, sports and recreation facilities.

MSV addresses the lack of alternative staff housing and everyday amenities within the remote, gated development and must open before the assets it serves. It will accommodate diverse income levels, nationalities and families while meeting hospitality operators’ expectations and NEOM’s sustainability, mobility and quality standards.

The central design and commercial challenge will be attracting international third-party investment while maintaining affordable accommodation charges for operators, requiring efficient MMC construction, cost-effective operations, flexible expansion and coordinated infrastructure in a desirable well designed liveable environment.
