The Pearl-Qatar

Pearl

Qatar is one of the newly independent countries from the British Colony which got independence in 1971. The major source of income to the new nation is petroleum and natural gas products which account for 85% of the income and GDP. As all other Arab countries were shifting from petrol and gas income to tourism and investment sector. This all just started the route a decade or two ago but the changes seams like 50 years passed.

Here we are with Qatar and its Pearl project which is an Artificial island project in Doha. The Pearl is a large mix complex that consists of residential, retail, and commercial complexes which spread over 4 million square meters just 350 meters from the West Bay District of Doha. 

The Pearl-Qatar is the first freehold ownership project in Qatar which also has the best-mixed use commercial and residential development program. As this is an island project it has the best retail waterfront project which is the longest in Qatar. The whole project comprises 25000 residential units with more than 350 retail units. The whole plan will have 13 islands when the project is completed and will extend 8 of them to private players to build anything they wish.

There are mega-projects, which are:

Abraj Quartier:

Consisting of 7 towers of which 2 tallest towers stand at the entrance of The Pearl and others by the bay of the island.

Qanat Quartier:

This is a plan which has 1.6 kilometers long canal that will look like the Venice canal system but with a modern look which will also have 31000 sqm retail space with more than 190 retail shops and around 1100 parking space.

Costa Malaz:

This project consists of Villas that have direct access to the beach and the above-stated canal system. The luxury Kempinski Hotel is also part of this which is at the central bay of the precinct.

Viva Bahriya:

This is a complex with 28 Moroccan Inspired Tower which has over 1700 residential units which spread over 2 km of pristine beach.

Floresta Gardens:

This is a mixed complex that comprises 10 Mediterranean-style towers and 115 villas which are spread over a 145967 sqm area.

The other nine islands which are apart from the main island are the one which will be given to private players for independent use.
