Real Estate and Property Sector

The Ministry of Municipality and Urban Planning oversees the preparation of all records related to
the selling, leasing, waiver and bequeathing of real estate. Some selected records and documents
must bear the approval of the Real Estate and Residences Registration Office to be considered valid.
Land owners should visit the office before completing their real estate registrations at the Ministry
of Justice.

Major Real Estate Projects

Thanks to a thriving economy, an emergent tourism industry and budding property values, Qatar
is continuing to see the construction of new, world-class building projects. Qatar’s real estate
market is valued at over US$5billion and is expected to grow exponentially over the next few years.

Lusail City :

Imagine living where you play, shopping where you sight-see, swimming where you buy your
groceries. This is the life one of 200,000 future residents on the ocean-front city of Lusail will
lead. Residential, commercial and entertainment districts meet natural open spaces and
traditional Islamic design in this visionary, architectural feat.

Pearl – Qatar :

One of the largest structural undertakings in Qatar, the Pearl offshore man-made island is
becoming the apple of the region’s eyes. Set to accommodate 40,000 residents, on 400 hectares
of reclaimed land, the Pearl features a Riviera-style boardwalk surrounding one of three planned marinas.

Dubai Tower :

Slated to become an iconic centerpiece of Doha’s skyline, the 437-meter Dubai Tower is an
unprecedented initiative emerging from the esteemed Comiche. The tower will home a boutique
hotel, office space, an upscale shopping lane, furnished and unfurnished apartment spaces, and
a sea view in 95% of its vistas.

Al Wa’ab City :

Rooted in Arabic heritage and reared with family-oriented values, the Al Wa’ab City promises to
offer high-standard, integrated community living. Al Wa’ab aims to be a reflection of comfort,
harmony and prosperity – the ideal place for family dwelling.

Barwa Al Khor :

Located 57 kilometers north of Doha, Barwa Al Khor aspires to be the core of Qatar. The extensive
Barwa will emerge from its coastline as though part of the terrain. Villas, town houses, office
space, a golf course, clinic, library and mosque are some of the many amenities afforded by this
artistic, dream city.

The Heart of Doha Project :

In a mission to revitalize the past to make way for an increasingly vibrant future, the Heart of
Doha Project is redeveloping 35 hectares of space in inner Doha, the historic birth area of the
city. The restructuring plan promotes sustainable, environmentally friendly living and sophisticated
public areas by use of simplicity, space, proportion and light in its design.
