Msheireb Downtown Doha is a planned city in Doha, Qatar. Initial construction began in January 2010.[1] Located in the downtown area of Qatar's capital city, it is set to occupy 310,000 sq m with the total cost of construction amounting to approximately $5.5 billion. It was launched in six phases[2] by Msheireb Properties, a subsidiary of Qatar Foundation.[3]
Construction phases
The city has six construction phases: Phase 1A, Phase 1B, Phase 1C, Phase 2, Phase 3 and Phase 4.[4]
Phase 1A's contract was awarded to a consortium consisting of Hyundai Engineering & Construction and Hamad Bin Khalid Contracting Company.[5] Phase 1B began in December 2011, and Carillion and Qatar Building Company were selected as the main contractors.[1] Brookfield Multiplex and Medgulf were contracted for Phase 1C in November 2012.[6]
Phase 2 began in December 2012, with Arabtec Construction being awarded the contract.[5] In May 2013, Obayashi Corporation and Hamad Bin Khalid Contracting Company were awarded the contract for Phase 3.[7]
Design
Approximately 25% of the city will be allocated towards residential developments. Hotels, shops and retail establishments will take up a combined space of 26%, while government buildings have been allotted roughly more than one-third of the entire area.[8] The city is expected to accommodate around 15,000 residents.[2]
Msheireb Downtown Doha is set to contain one of the largest collection of LEED-certified buildings in the world.[9]
