Cityscape Qatar, featuring 85 exhibitors from more than 20 countries, was opened yesterday at Doha Exhibition Centre under the patronage of the Prime Minister and Interior Minister HE Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa al-Thani.
The three-day event was inaugurated by the Minister of Economy and Commerce HE Sheikh Ahmed bin Jassim bin Mohamed al-Thani.
He later visited several stands, including United Development Company’s The Pearl-Qatar, United Developer’s Place Vendome and Al Bandary Real
Estate’s Al Bandary Tower.
The exhibitors are from countries including the UAE, Turkey, Kuwait and the UK, other than Qatar. Dubai Properties, FCC Ficicgil Insaat Turzim and Tebyan Real Estate Development are among the exhibitors who showcase their projects and engage in in-depth analysis and discussions around current trends.
Key local projects on display during Cityscape Qatar include Al Bandary’s Al Bandary Tower, located in the diplomatic area of Al Dafna, with 96 one to three luxurious bedroom apartments with ocean views.
Maen al-Haj, property and real estate manager, recalled that Al Bandary was one of the first companies to exhibit at the inaugural Cityscape Qatar event in 2012.
United Developers has displayed their Place Vendome, located in the heart of Lusail City and spread over four levels. It will feature two five-star hotels, multiple serviced apartments, a brand new expressway and a metro rail service, which will form the basis of the infrastructural requirements to accommodate and transport local and international visitors all year round.
Sean Kelly, project director at United Developers, said: “We are aiming to showcase our project as well as the progress of the local and regional real estate industry.”
FCC Ficicgil Insaat Turzim is exhibiting their Serenity Villa, a luxury hilltop project located on the outskirts of Istanbul. Omer F Duyak, managing director, said his company is participating in Cityscape Qatar for the third year in a row.
“This year we are showcasing our new project, Sapanca Premiums, with both our project and this region in Turkey being very popular with Qatari Nationals.”
Deep Marwaha, group director of Cityscape, said: “Cityscape Qatar remain committed to supporting and promoting the country’s real estate sector. The Qatar real estate landscape continues to expand as the country prepares for the 2022 football World Cup and moves forward with implementing the four pillars of the Qatar National Vision 2030.”
Today at Cityscape Qatar there will be an additional focus on retail, continuing the ongoing dialogue through the Qatar Real Estate Summit and bringing exposure over
this rapidly expanding sector.
The summit will conclude tomorrow with the sector series, closed-door roundtable sessions which are led by an industry expert focusing on a specific topic or sector.
Cityscape Qatar, open from 11am to 9pm daily, showcases real estate development opportunities and the diversity of projects, and is expected to bring together more than 8,000
visitors.
