Our Mission
Mukaab Skyscraper is an independent intelligence platform providing institutional-grade analysis of architecture developments within The Mukaab and the broader New Murabba district in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. We serve institutional investors, corporate strategists, government advisors, and industry professionals requiring authoritative intelligence on the world's most ambitious urban mega-development.
The Mukaab — a planned 400-meter cube-shaped megastructure at the heart of Riyadh's new downtown — represents an unprecedented convergence of architecture, technology, hospitality, and urban design. Our platform provides the analytical depth needed to understand the architecture dimensions of this transformative project and its $50 billion investment context.
Editorial Independence
Mukaab Skyscraper operates with complete editorial independence. Our analysis is not influenced by advertisers, commercial partners, government entities, or any affiliated parties. We are not associated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to the New Murabba Development Company, the Public Investment Fund (PIF), or any Saudi government entity. All published content reflects the independent judgment of our editorial team.
Our Team
Mukaab Skyscraper was founded by Donovan Vanderbilt, a strategic advisor and fintech entrepreneur based in Vevey, Switzerland. Donovan holds an MBA from Imperial College London and brings extensive experience in government advisory, institutional banking, international business strategy, and digital ventures across the Gulf, Europe, and Africa.
Our editorial team comprises analysts with deep expertise in Saudi Arabian megaprojects, architecture markets, real estate economics, Vision 2030 policy analysis, and institutional investment research. Contributors include professionals with backgrounds at McKinsey, Deloitte, Bloomberg, and leading institutional research firms.
Methodology
Our intelligence is sourced from official government publications and regulatory filings, institutional research from McKinsey, Deloitte, Knight Frank, and the World Bank, verified industry data from recognized publishers, peer-reviewed academic research, and direct engagement with project stakeholders. We employ multi-source verification and subject our analysis to peer review before publication. All data points are cited inline and traceable to authoritative origins.
