Red Sea Global (RSG), the developer behind regenerative tourism destinations The Red Sea and AMAALA, announced in a press release that it has been awarded seven new LEED certifications for properties at The Red Sea, solidifying its position as a leader in developing efficient, green buildings. RSG also secured the LEED for Cities and Communities pre-certification for the AMAALA master plan.
