Hill International has booked a QAR 14.6mn ($4mn) contract to provide project management services during development of Al Wa’ab City, Central District, Phase 1.
The project is one of the largest privately-held real estate projects being developed in Qatar and will eventually be home to over 8,000 people.
Stretching over 1.25 million square meters and promoted by Nasser Bin Khaled Holding, Al Wa’ab City incorporates a diverse residential mix of over 2,000 villas and apartments, more than 200,000 square meters (2.2 million square feet) of commercial space and over 100,000 square meters (1.1 million square feet) of retail space, including a one-of-a-kind concept mall.
The Central District is the remaining, partially-constructed piece of land with an approximate area of 400,000 square meters (4.3 million square feet).
It will consist of a 1.4-kilometer (0.9-mile) walk-through spine with retail, residential buildings concentrated at the eastern and western ends, a commercial building at the southwest corner, a four-star hotel at its center, and a parking sub-basement.
“Al Wa’ab City will offer existing and new Doha residents outstanding living accommodations,” said Mohammed Al Rais, Regional President (Middle East) for Hill’s Project Management Group. “We are extremely proud to be part of this impressive development,” added Al Rais.
