Geography concerns with distribution, it correlates natural and human factors to identify patterns that have a combination of spatial pattern of distribution, the compatibility of phenomena on the surface of the earth in place.

Real estate schemes in the city of Makkah is one of phenomena, which are studied, and knowledge of the properties of deployment, their compatibility with the growth trends in the city is very important for the present and future of the city.

The subject of the current study is the spatial compatibility between the real estate schemes, and trends of urban growth in the city of Makkah, and aims to apply available spatial analysis tools in geographic information systems technology to illustrate the patterns, and characteristics of the spatial distribution of the real estate schemes in the city of Makkah Al-Mukarramah to recognize the relationship between land prices, spatial plans, and distance from the city center.

The study used the analytical descriptive approach in dealing with digital data, through; the use of some statistical methods, charts and cartographic, using spatial analysis tools in GIS software to analyze spatial database associated metadata in order to highlight the spatial characteristics of the real estate schemes.

The study concluded that there is a clear difference between the sites and the real estate schemes that large number of schemes were widely handed either by buying or selling in the period from1388-1424H; most of them were focused on the transition zone of the holy city.

The entire geographic site of 74.3% site plans in Makkah took an oval shape centered around the Grand Mosque, towards the northeast to south-west.

Kernel analysis showed that, the density distribution of a real estate schemes in the north, east and west took the form of a very concentrated highdensity blocks, clearly show in the neighborhood of the new Umrah, Nozha, Aldiafah, within the municipalities of Maabdah, and Alotibiah.

The study recommends the necessity of making the best use of the investment of real estate schemes that have been approved and to be provided with utilities in order to avoid the extension and expansion of the horizontal overload, which faces great difficulties in expanding public utilities, maintenance and operation.

Encouraging city skirt urban development, through flexibility in the regulations of construction will create a reasonable balance in the prices of land.
