Feasibility for establishing a Logistics Park in Saudi Arabia

Background

To evaluate the strategic potential of establishing a logistics park in the Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia, the Client required an in-depth analysis of the proposed site's suitability and operational feasibility

Aranca Solution

Leveraging deep regional expertise, the Aranca team executed a multi-dimensional site analysis at the proposed logistics park location. Our consultants performed physical site inspections to validate zoning compliance and infrastructure readiness. Key focus areas included the optimization of multi-modal access points and SEC grid connectivity, alongside a competitive mapping of the Kingdom’s evolving logistics landscape to ensure long-term commercial viability

Results

Aranca performed a 360-degree locational analysis to evaluate the land parcel, integrating SCOT modeling with a deep dive into Saudi Arabia’s evolving regulatory and environmental standards. Aranca’s findings bridged the gap between site potential and project reality by identifying mission-critical risks and suggesting practical mitigation measure

Ideate

The ideation phase was driven by a comprehensive site-suitability audit. Aranca combined rigorous secondary research with locational benchmarking to translate physical site advantages into commercial viability.

Desk Research

Aranca utilized a hybrid research model—combining geospatial mapping (Google Earth) and technical design (AutoCAD) with regulatory gap analysis. These findings were refined through consultation with subject matter experts to provide a 360-degree view of site suitability and compliance

Expert Interviews

Executed a multi-stakeholder engagement program involving 20+ onsite interviews. The engagement matrix spanned the entire value chain—from government regulatory agencies to local industrial off-takers—ensuring the site analysis was informed by real-world regulatory constraints and local market dynamic

Analysis

Aranca conceptualized the location analysis as an ecosystem study, moving beyond simple site boundaries to analyze its synergy with major demand centers. By synthesizing current supply data with projected infrastructure growth, the location analysis laid the framework to identify supply-demand imbalances, ensuring the proposed facility targets the highest-growth logistics segments
