DESTINATION

ith a population of 1.4 billion and a continuous culture stretching back nearly 4,000 years, there’s no doubt that China holds a rich and complex culture, both past and present. Stemming from the depth of historical relations between Arabs and Chinese, as well as economic and cultural ties, China has officially been announced as the 2016 year of culture by Qatar Museums Authorities. For Qatar and its residents and visitors, this means being able to engage in exhibitions, film screenings, concerts, and other activities. It also means bridging relations between the two countries by exposing China and the dynamic Chinese community to the diverse and multifaceted culture of the Gulf.

Travel

Dubbed as the cradle of civilization and ranked as the most populous country in the world, where does one begin? China’s vast landscape includes grassland, desert, mountain ranges and 14,500 km of coastline. Its bustling cities include the ancient capital of Beijing, where historic meets modern, and Shanghai, a densely populated, sparkly skyscraper city. If China is on your list for planning your next vacation, read on for some great tips for travelling in both Beijing and Shanghai including where to stay and what to see.

LIVING IN CHINA

HSBC’s survey of over 7,000 global expatriates in 2013 ranked China as the best overall destination, beating both Germany and Singapore, based on answers that covered employment packages and experiences raising children abroad.

Shanghai

China’s vast landscape includes grassland, desert, mountain ranges and coastline. Its bustling cities include the ancient capital of Beijing, where historic meets modern, and Shanghai, a densley populated, sparkly skycraper city.

The Expat Insider Survey, conducted by the world’s largest network for people who live abroad (InterNations), said that China is viewed as one of the world’s best destinations for work and career opportunities. Government figures show that the number of expatriates living in Shanghai has risen 70 percent in the past decade. Part of Shanghai’s appeal is the ease at which expatriates can sustain a western lifestyle while still experiencing and partaking in local culture. There is a large number of international restaurants, schools and entertainment options that cater to both natives and foreigners alike. To boot, English in Shanghai is more widely spoken than in any other Chinese city. With nearly 170,000 expatriates, expatriate communities abound where foreigners can engage with the culture in different ways. An evening meal could involve anything from grabbing a burger with a local colleague, to heading out to sample authentic Shanghai street food with an expatriate friend.

Beijing

As an international city, Beijing has much to offer. Families can enjoy a laid-back atmosphere, high quality international schools and an ease for travelling across the rest of Asia. Thailand, Vietnam and Laos are popular nearby getaways within a 6-to-8 hour flight and Japan, for example, is only 3 hours away. In terms of cost of living, basics such as petrol and grocery shopping remain relatively cheap compared to other large-scale, global cities. Even the dedicated “ayi” or nanny community makes childcare affordable. Best described as an overwhelming expatriate experience (due to the hustle, bustle and congestion), Beijing is also repeatedly described as one of the most fascinating cities in Asia to live in.

A trip to Shanghai isn’t complete without a visit to this iconic museum (pictured above), as you’re transported through the craft of millennia and Chinese culture and history. It’s home to an impressive collections, ranging from archaic green patinas of the Ancient Chinese Bronzes Gallery to the beautiful ceramics in the Zande Lou Gallery.

DESTINATION

ARCHITECTURE: ANCIENT TO MODERN AND BUILDINGS TO KNOW Ancient architecture:

As ancient buildings use wood as their chief material, the most significant characteristic of ancient Chinese architecture is the use of a timber framework. Paintings and carvings were added to the architectural work later to make it more beautiful and attractive. Coloured glazed roofs, windows featuring exquisite applique designs, and beautiful flower patterns on wooden pillars reflect the high-level of the craftsmen’s handicraft and their rich imagination.

Building to know:

Suzhou: China’s City of Canals

Enchanting canals, arched footbridges, and the mesmerising waterways through cityscapes make this canal city unforgettable.

Foshan: Folk art and storytelling

For more than 600 years, Foshan has been a hub for folk art, bringing the stories of its people to life through painting, ceramics, paper arts, and calligraphy.

Panyu: Wild and cultivated nature

Wild and cultivated nature fuse seamlessly in the streets and parks of Panyu. Known as the “City of Flowers,” elaborate gardens characterise this ancient city in the Pearl River Delta.

Hangzhou: Heaven on earth

Hangzhou is best known for the West Lake, a UNESCO World Heritage site and home to breathtaking gardens. In the vast surrounding city, find famous temples and pagodas as well as the National Tea Museum and the National Silk Museum.

7The Shenyang Imperial Palace, also known as Mukden Palace, was initially constructed in 1625, prior to the establishment of the Qing Dynasty. With 300 rooms and 20 courtyards, the palace fascinates all who visit it.

Modern architecture:

Although the traditional Chinese architectural system is still the most dominant, the architectural landscape has shifted as new buildings for theatres, restaurants, hotels, and businesses pop up. Rather than featuring solely ultra-modern and sleek designs, modern architecture has made a breakthrough by combining elements of both Chinese and Western architecture.

Building to know: Shanghai World Financial Center

Shanghai World Financial Center is currently the highest building in the city. The viewing pavilion on the 100th floor offers visitors a view across the top of landmark buildings such as the Oriental Pearl TV Tower and Jinmao Tower. From the 55 metres long viewing gallery visitors can spot the moving cars and pedestrians below through the three transparent glass floors.

Chinese Landscape Gardens

The ancient Chinese gardens are rich in culture and unique in their features. Their centuries-old history and artistic charm ranks them amongst the best three garden building systems in the world. Constructed to recreate larger, natural landscapes, part of the beauty of Chinese gardens is their ability to blend ornate buildings with natural elements. Every garden combines a building or pavilion with rock gardens, plants, trees, water elements, and winding paths.

A CITY FROM SCRATCH: THE BRIGHT FUTURE OF LUSAIL LOCATED ON THE COAST 23 KILOMETRES NORTH OF DOHA, LUSAIL IS QATAR’S FIRST GREEN AND SUSTAINABLE CITY. SLATED FOR COMPLETION IN 2019, ITS AMBITIOUS AND CUTTING-EDGE CONCEPTS NOT ONLY REINFORCE THE QATAR NATIONAL VISION 2030 (QNV 2030), BUT ALSO OFFER IMMENSE PROMISE FOR THE FUTURE.

usail, the newest planned city in Qatar located 23 kilometres north of the city centre, is often in the spotlight surrounding the 2022 FIFA World Cup. One of the largest commercial projects in the Middle East, the coastal city will spread over an area of 38 km2 with a waterfront location stretching over 28 kilometres. Deservedly admired for the key role it will play in 2022, the gleaming new city will be crucial in accommodating the circa 3,000,000 guests that are expected to attend the FIFA World Cup. Not only will Lusail’s iconic stadium host the opening and closing games of the World Cup, but the structure will hold more than 80,000 seats encircled by a reflective pool of water, with spectators crossing the moat to enter the building via six bridges. Though the 2022 bid was a major catalyst behind the development of Lusail, the successful progress of the city has allowed it to take on a unique cultural identity outside

the bounds of FIFA. Beyond the stadiums and football fans, Lusail is a city with immense promise that will offer a high standard of living and unique lifestyle for locals and expatriates alike.

OVERVIEW

Lusail’s initial construction began as early as 2006 and has an expected completion date of 2019. Quite literally a city that will rise from the desert, Lusail will be a unique blend of modern culture, Qatari tradition, and Islamic architecture. Lusail is being developed in line with QNV 2030, which is to continue to prosper, modernise and develop Qatar in ways that yield luxurious living conditions for generations to come. From inception and throughout its progress, developers have worked with exactly this goal in mind. Lusail is also unique in its creativity. Even the name ‘Lusail’, referring to a rare flower that grows in Qatar, is

a symbol of authenticity and tradition, a throwback to the Lusail Castle, previously the centre of governance, developed by the late Sheikh Jassem Bin Mohammad Al Thani. By 2019 and beyond, more than 200,000 people are predicted to reside in what is now a USD 45 billion (QAR 163.8 bn) project, while 170,000 people are expected to work within the city. Lusail will comprise of 19 districts, encompassing stunning residential, commercial and retail properties as well as schools, mosques, medical facilities, and entertainment and shopping centres. These vibrant districts include a dedicated entertainment city and energy city, a new financial district, exceptional residential islands, two golf courses with residential communities, serene beaches and marinas for berthing more than 1,800 boats and luxury yachts, and much more. Lusail planning has also been intensely innovative in the transportation sector, as the city will boast a light rail network (LRT), water taxi transportation system, cycle and pedestrian networks, and land dedicated to green and open spaces that will complement the lively and more dynamic components of the city. The first green and sustainable city in Qatar, its ambitious and groundbreaking concepts not only reinforce QNV 2030, but also highlight the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to environmental issues and sustainability, being developed according to the Qatar Sustainability Assessment System. In October 2012, Lusail was selected as the best mixed-use development at the International Property Awards Arabia, a reputable award network celebrating high levels of achievement in the real estate industry.

LUSAILâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S INNOVATIVE DESIGN

Lusail will redefine transport in Qatar, offering several modes of transport throughout the city. (Image Lusail)

A work in progress, though with luxury residences already on the market and many businesses already operating there, the city design and planning is one of the most crucial elements to the success of the project. Government and developers have taken into account all the possible disruptions during construction and maintenance so development can continue without disturbing Lusail residents and commuters. For example, the city will have underground tunnels functional for maintenance works and underground gas networks. Also, a first for Qatar, electricity will be supplied to the city via a network of stations and underground substations.

The city will operate in a streamlined, centralised manner. The latest technology, which includes an operational control centre for all electric and utility systems and a centralised command and control centre that will provide surveillance throughout the city, ensure that residents and commuters are in a peaceful, safe and comfortable environment. The parking system is being designed so that it is equally accessible to both residents and tourists. The car parking facilities will be connected by ten underground pedestrian tunnels, which are dispersed throughout the city. Water taxis will also be readily available for travel along the waterfront.

TRANSPORTATION

Lusail will redefine transport in Qatar, offering several modes of transport throughout the city. The LRT, water taxi system, and cycle and pedestrian networks will make for less traffic, congestion and pollution. The LRT will connect Lusail City to Doha, another huge convenience for commuters. The planned transit network will be made up of 36 stations and four main tramlines located both above ground and underground, stretching for a length of 30.5 kilometres. A rail network will be constructed in the future, connecting the Doha Metro Network at an interchange on Al Khor highway. The Lusail highway has been carefully designed to provide connectivity to the Al Khor highway and fast access to Hamad International Airport. Bicycle and pedestrian routes are planned throughout the city, which will connect to the light rail system, car parks and railway interchange.

QATAR LIFESTYLE

Lusail is a city with immense promise, and will offer a high standard of living and unique lifestyle for locals and expatriates alike.

SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES OF LUSAIL CITY

Lusail City will be built as per Qatar Sustainability Assessment System (QSAS) standards. The green city will utilise underground tunnels, which will carry chilled water pipes to provide cooling to the buildings in an environmentally friendly and energy efficient manner. All of the city’s waste will reach the recycling site through a vacuum network - a high-tech waste solution for modern living. Furthermore, sewerage will be transported through underground pipes to the treatment station outside the city, where it will be treated and all grey waste water will be re-used for watering the green open spaces in the city.

Commercial Real Estate Consultant, Liban Farah, describes Lusail as an “extremely promising area”. “There is an abundance of interest in Lusail as now, a lot of businesses are shifting their headquarters there. In addition, residential rental prices are fairly low due to non-completion, so businesses can operate more efficiently for several reasons: lowercost accommodation once it becomes available, and significantly less travel time. Current prices are comparable with areas such as Bin Mahmoud and Al Sadd, but the quality of life, environment, and location will be at a significantly higher standard.”

RESIDENTIAL

CORPORATE

The residential development in Lusail consists of apartments, townhouses and villas. Across 15 districts, close to 40,000 apartments, 90 townhouses, and 3,000 villas are planned. One of the standout residential developments of Lusail is the Katara Towers, located in the Lusail Marina district. Recently recognised as the ‘Middle East’s Leading Tourism Development Project’, these arched towers will be home to a luxurious five star hotel, with branded apartments accommodating residents looking for luxury and comfort. The property, with an opening date in 2018, will offer the utmost in luxury with a man-made satellite beach-front island, leisure and water sports facilities, food and beverage outlets, and a world-class water feature within a stunning, sun-protected garden environment.

Office development in Lusail is the second largest component of the city, divided into three main elements: business parks, corporate offices, and standard offices. A total of 36,900 offices are planned which will accommodate 137,000 employees and almost 8,000 visitors. Katara Hospitality has already moved its head office to Lusail, in the Marina District, setting an example for others to follow. Since Katara Hospitality has made the move, many developers have intensified their interest and projects in Lusail. Currently a relatively easy commute from Doha, businesses moving to Lusail will eventually be able to live and work in the same place, offering their employees an affordable yet luxurious standard of living.

RETAIL

There’s no doubt that Qatar is rapidly becoming a serious shopping destination. With retail development within Lusail planned across 40 plots and spread over 12 districts, businesses are keen on investing in the city of the future. Earlier this year, for example, Al Meera Consumer Goods Company signed a memorandum of understanding with Lusail Real Estate Developing Company, for the operation and management of two community retail centres in the Fox Hills North and North Residential Villas districts. Aya Abuissa, managing partner of Al Hussam Holdings (AHH), speaks highly of the investment opportunities in Lusail. AHH has established a diversified portfolio with businesses in the food and beverage industry, and has successfully introduced multiple eateries to Qatar including MBCo (Montreal Bread Company) and Leila, the highly popular Lebanese restaurant, with one outlet already located in The Gate Mall in the centre of Doha’s West Bay district. “Though Doha is full of promise and investment opportunities, we’ve also shifted gears to look beyond the city. 2022 once seemed too futuristic, but it is within reach, and the opportunities to expand and invest in food and beverage are immeasurable. Not only are we keen on eventually introducing some of our established brands to Lusail, but we’re thinking of creating new concepts that will cater to the sophisticated clientele of Lusail over the course of the coming year,” Abuissa says.

ENTERTAINMENT AND LEISURE

The Lusail Entertainment Island is a 23-hectare site located east of the Marina District in the Lusail City Development, north of Doha. As a cultural, recreational and hospitality development, it includes a 67,500 m² Orientalist museum, a 90,000 m² five-star hotel with 220 keys plus convention centre, a 75,000 m² park and a 25,000 m² museum car park. Separate from the island will be Entertainment City, the core of the Lusail City development. Spread across 241 acres, Entertainment City includes a family entertainment centre, nature attractions, a snow attraction, and a waterpark. Planned to be a major hub for public attractions in Lusail, Entertainment City will be divided into five distinct districts, each one thematically and characteristically different than the next. These districts - Downtown, Corniche, North Shore, South Shore, and The Villas - will all be connected by a canal that will link each area via a water taxi. From retail options, and housing, to themed hotels and water parks, Entertainment City will flourish into a vibrant, cultural hub, inspired by the flowing forms of sand dunes that contrast with modern structures to yield an authentic, unique identity.

PLACE VENDÔME

Place VENDÔME in Numbers

Place Vendôme is the first project up for development in Entertainment City. An entertainment hub and shopping destination combined, Place Vendôme will cater to all demographics. The architectural plans are stunning, inspired by classical and neoclassical styles. The design is reminiscent of French renaissance, resulting in a unique Arab-Euro cultural blend. Slated to open in the third quarter of 2017, this 800,000 m2 development will be home to two five-star luxury hotels, serviced apartments, a mall with up to 400 retail outlets, and an exclusive luxury wing dedicated to top designer labels.

LOOKING FORWARD

The Lusail City development has come a long way since 2006. Considered a freehold development, plots of land can be owned by any nationality, opening even more doors to the diversification of Qatar’s residents and its economy. Lusail City is a significant milestone for Qatar, and will not only enhance and support Qatar’s economy, but will also function as a distinctive city that will celebrate the region’s unique cultural and geographical heritage.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF SPACE ALIGNMENT

GCC-based Feng Shui expert Grace Salem has been practicing Feng Shui since the early ‘90s. www.gracesalem.com; gracesalem@yahoo.com.

ith its origins in ancient China, Feng Shui is an art which balances inhabitants with their surrounding environment. Essentially, it is the art of arranging your environment. As explained by GCC-based Feng Shui expert, Grace Salem, in its more basic form it can offer a variety of easy and practical tips which can help improve your life, but on a more complex level, it is a body of knowledge that reveals how to balance the energy in a space to encourage wellbeing and fortune. In China, wind (feng) and water (shui) are known to balance good health. Wind and water are the two natural elements on earth that are constantly changing according to their timings. What’s more, they are the two natural elements human life cannot survive without. Wind and water create an energy force, or chi. In Feng Shui, the flow of chi through a living space is analysed and the living space is then designed to be in harmony with this flow. Feng Shui was originally used to identify safe burial sites and later, dwellings, where families could find good fortune. It was later used as a way to choose the locations of palaces, government buildings or other important buildings. Today, the practice of Feng Shui involves detailed observations of the natural and man-made environment. It is believed, when practiced effectively, that it can help overcome difficulties and to be at ease with one’s surroundings.

FENG SHUI TOOLS

The compass and the Bagua are the main tools used in Feng Shui analysis. The compass is used to help decide what direction certain furniture should face, or when searching for an apartment it can be useful in deciding which part of the building works best. The Bagua, also known as an energy map, helps to show which areas of your home are connected to specific areas of your life. It can help pinpoint areas in the home that can be enhanced.

Feng Shui for the home is about knowing how to create the perfect atmosphere in a room so that you love the space you live in.

FENG SHUI AND CELEBRITIES

It is widely known that many celebrities have a large interest in Feng Shui and practice it when decorating their own homes. These include the likes of Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Deepak Chopra, Oprah Winfrey, Sir Richard Branson and Steven Spielberg, to name a few. According to Grace, many of her clients are well known personalities in the region. She explains, “Sensitive clients are always the first to come to me. In Hollywood, the first ones to apply Feng Shui were the artists - you know - the actors and actresses. I think this is because artistic people are usually more sensitive to the energy in their surroundings. And business people too. You know many businesses all over the world are using Feng Shui.” Aside from well known celebrities, international corporations also using some of the principles of Feng Shui include British Airways, the Hilton Hotel Group, HSBC Bank and The Body Shop. A great example of this is the HSBC Headquarters building in Hong Kong. The building is located in a prime position in the city, facing the harbour and thus allowing it to prosper.

FENG SHUI FOR YOUR HOME

In many ways, there is an element of common sense in administering Feng Shui in your home interiors. Everything in your surroundings mirrors your inner self. As such a significant percentage of your time is spent in the home, it is important that it feels right and that you can create a space in which you are completely comfortable living in. The most common use of Feng Shui is in interior decorating, particularly when it comes to furniture arrangement, colour co-ordination and the use of materials i.e. woods, soft furnishings, carpets etc. Feng Shui is about knowing how to create the perfect atmosphere in a room so that you love the space you live in. Using Feng Shui as a tool, it is possible to change the way an area feels. Positive adjustments to your physical environment can work towards improving areas of your life that you are not comfortable or happy with. And the good news is that the changes do not have to cost too much. The idea is that even the smallest of adjustments in your home can help with the flow of the energy or chi in your space, making it a more harmonious place to live in. This can, in turn, influence the course of your life for the better. Grace advises, “No head of the bed should be to the window and the bed should not be aligned with the exit of the door. Look for round, smooth surfaces and cover any sharp ones with a circular object, a plant, for example. Never put the back of your seater to a door or entrance. It should always be inviting inwards.” In Feng Shui, each part of your home is associated with a different aspect of your life. By taking small steps or making minor adjustments in different rooms, it can help to cultivate positive energy across different aspects of your life. These adjustments can be as simple as moving the furniture around, changing the colour of a

22 wall, adding a new painting or simply adding a throw to a sofa to introduce a new colour to the room. If nothing else, it can help make your home a more comfortable or relaxing place to be. Grace Salem adds, “If a house is already decorated we can make small changes like change this painting here, this carpet there, the red one here is better, the blue one there. This will all help to balance the energy needed in that dwelling.” Plants can be particularly effective in adjusting the flow of chi or energy balance in your home. Not only do they help to purify the air around you, but they also introduce life and colour to your space creating a softer, more vibrant energy and their natural greens are considered relaxing and therapeutic. In Feng Shui plants can also symbolise new beginnings, growth and

expansion. In more advanced Feng Shui, plants can be placed strategically in different areas of the home using the Bagua, or Feng Shui map, to locate the most prominent position for the area of your life that you are concentrating on (e.g. relationships, wealth, health).

YOUR APARTMENT SEARCH

The principles of Feng Shui can be useful when searching for a new place to live. Buildings with beautiful gardens or views of a relaxing city skyline are considered positive for your Feng Shui. Something not too difficult to find in Doha! Avoid apartments that have other buildings obscuring the view and opt for apartments on higher levels to get the optimal view and to ensure there is nothing stagnating or obscuring your energy flow.

The main building entrance is also an important consideration. A bright, welcoming entrance will help you feel safe and secure in your apartment. The complete art of Feng Shui is quite complex and very personal - not every house or apartment is good for everyone. Grace Salem explains, “This is a very individualistic thing because everyone’s energy varies and it must be studied. The timing of the purchase, your birth date, the door step, your bedroom will all make a big difference.” She explains that in Feng Shui the environment is analysed in respect to a particular person. “There is an energy of the house and an energy of the person. It depends on when it was built. So I choose to adapt the directions, the colours, different parts of the house or apartment, for this specific person.”

5 Practical Steps for a more Harmonious Home

1 2

Clear the clutter

This is not just a case of clearing up around you and keeping things tidy. If there is something you do not love in your house, get rid of it.

Make the most of light

Make sure your space is light and airy. Clean all your windows and allow as much natural light into the home as possible. When the climate allows, open the windows often and for the summer months invest in a good quality air purifier. Plants such as a lady or bamboo palm, a rubber plant and dwarf date palms are also effective for improving the air quality in your house.

Fix squeaking doors

Does your entrance or any other door in the house squeak when you open or close it? It is a noise which we can become so accustomed to that we no longer notice it, but a squeaking door can sound like crying, immediately affecting the mood.

Place your bed correctly

Your bed should face the door and avoid lying in line with the door. Sometimes this is not always possible, so instead, place a mirror in such a way that you can always see the door when lying in bed.

Create a space for down time

And that is not sitting in front of the television. Create a space in your home where you can completely switch off. This can be as simple as a small fish bowl that you can spend a few minutes of the day just gazing into, a comfortable chair next to your window, or maybe it can be your bath with relaxing oils and aromas. Take a few minutes each day in this area to recharge the batteries.

MARKET OVERVIEW

LUSAIL CITY LUSAIL CITY IS A HIGHLY INNOVATIVE PROJECT THAT REINFORCES EVERY FACET OF QATAR’S NATIONAL VISION THROUGH ITS RESIDENTIAL, OFFICE, RETAIL, EDUCATIONAL, AND HOSPITALITY DEVELOPMENT. RESEARCH BY GAURAV BORIKAR, HEAD OF VALUATION & RESEARCH, AL ASMAKH REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY (ADVISORY@ALASMAKHREALESTATE.COM). LUSAIL OVERVIEW

atar’s national vision for the year 2030 is to become an even more prosperous, modern country capable of continuous development that will secure respectable living conditions for generations to come. Lusail City is a highly innovative project that reinforces every facet of Qatar’s national vision. Throughout its various phases, Lusail carefully and aesthetically establishes a wonderful modern blend of Qatari traditions and the great art of Islamic architecture. The unique name Lusail is not only derived from the rare flower that grows in Qatar, but it is also a symbol of the authenticity of the place where the late Sheikh Jassem Bin Mohammad Al Thani built the Lusail Castle, previously the centre of governance. The project consists of 19 districts with about 2,199 plots with static usage approval, floor area ration (FAR) and building bylaws. A golf course (East and West) secures about 22 percent of the total effective plot area of the master project. Marina, Fox Hills and Qatar Entertainment City are designed for multi-use developments. The aggregate gross floor area (GFA) of these three districts is 36.78 percent, collective residential units is 39.35 percent and the expected cumulative population is 40.53 percent of total master development. Despite their multi-use, each sector has its own unique selling proposition. Marina District is designed for high-rise towers, Fox Hills is for low-rise developments and Qatar Entertainment City is planned for malls, hotels, art centres and other entertainment facilities.

Lusail Towers District comprises of a total of four commercial towers, two of which are 75 stories and the other two are 45 stories. The average FAR of all four towers is 464 percent. The master project will have about 34 mosques, two museums, two golf courses, four sports clubs, one yacht club, two beach clubs, and specialised academies for sports and activities. It will also have post offices, police stations, fire squads and petrol stations. Transportation inside Lusail City will be multi faceted; Light Rail Transport (LRT) will accommodate intra- and inter-city travel, with the other modes of transport to include cars, buses, bicycles and pedestrian walkways. The development is designed to be self-sustained where the project will have its own district cooling system, water filtration plant, irrigation reservoirs, supply lines, and sewerage treatment plants. Lusail City is a freehold development meaning that the plots can be owned by any nationality. The majority of plots are sold individually for specific developments with prescribed guidelines, although the design of the external elevation and specifications of the building are to the owner’s discretion, allowing them to have their own unique selling propositions. On completion, Lusail City will enhance the country’s skyline and support Qatar’s endeavours tied to the Qatar National Vision 2030 (QNV 2030) to leading a well thought out real estate development strategy.

MARKET OVERVIEW

LUSAIL RESIDENTIAL

esidential is one of the most prominent segments in the Qatar real estate market. In recent years, residential properties have been providing a stable and often remarkable cash flow to investors. There has been a surge in demand for new properties, which is mainly being driven by the increasing population. With all of that in mind residential is also the prime sector in Lusail. Approximately 1,595 plots have been allocated for residential development, 1,387 of which have approval for residential development only whereas 208 of them have permission to be developed as mixed-use facilities. The residences are planned on a cumulative effective plot area of 6,719,804 sqm with proposed aggregate GFA of 12,021,567 sqm out of which the residential GFA is 10,215,820 sqm, which is about 94 percent of the cumulative GFA. The average building coverage of all plots is 49 percent and the average FAR is 162 percent. The projected resident population is estimated at 172,250, residing in about 42,500 residential units. Nearly 132,000 car spaces have been assigned to satisfy the need of residents and visitors.

MARKET OVERVIEW

69 In terms of residential GFA, the largest district is Fox Hills, which comprises of about 1,723,363 sqm. The GFA stretches over 365 plots with a cumulative effective plot area of 951,751 sqm. The projected resident population in Fox Hills is 33,000. The tallest district in the residential development is the Marina where the maximum height of the buildings can be 60 stories, but the average height is at about 30 stories. The average building coverage is 30 percent of the plot area and the average FAR is 386 percent. Among 61 of the plots, the cumulative effective plot area is 541,787 sqm with a total GFA of 2,001,075 sqm. The residential development in Lusail is divided into three segments - apartments, townhouses and villas. The apartment buildings are designed with an average height of 19 stories and a maximum height of 60 stories whereas the townhouses and villas are planned for between two and four stories. Across 15 districts of Lusail, close to 39,470 apartments, 90 townhouses and 3,000 villas are planned. Out of this figure townhouses and villas are divided across six districts - Golf District (East

and West), North Residential Villas, Qatar Entertainment City, Qetaifan North and South, and Waterfront Residential Villas. These all make up a total approximate area of 2,440,000 sqm. The GFA is planned with the provision of about 55,100 resident and visitor parking. The residential developments are the most predictable because the residential lands are sold quicker than any land with different usage approval. Land is available for sale based on location, approved FAR and surrounding proposed developments. The average land price for outright purchase with high-rise building approval may be available at an average price of QAR 1,600 per sq ft and for a low-rise residential apartment development it is QAR 1,100 per sq ft. The lands that have planning permission for villas and townhouses fetch an average price of QAR 600 per sq ft. Apartment units are available for outright purchase at an average price of QAR 15,000 per sqm, although there is limited quantity. The residential sector passed its lowest stage during 2008-09. The market has since stabilised and due to an upsurge in available bank finance, investor and developer confidence is increasing.

to Lusail in order to give the development an initial boost. Presently, car parking is a challenge across Doha. The development has planned to address this issue by accommodating the car parking needs of employees and visitors. Thus, around 45,900 car parks have been planned for the development. Last year Katara Hospitality relocated its head office into a building in Marina District, and ever since then, many developers have intensified their projects. Banks have upgraded their policy for Lusail and increased their lending for new projects. Increase in construction activities, infrastructure development and relaxation on available finance terms have helped to escalate the overall market. It is partly due to these reasons that land prices have increased by 10 to 15 percent in the last year and land demand has been rising.
