Habtoor Leighton Group wins Qatar shopping mall project
Habtoor Leighton has won a QR1.06billion (£186million) mixed-use shopping mall and office project in Qatar.
The project represents the first phase of the North Gate mixed-use development in a growing neighbourhood on one of Doha’s strategically important arterial roadways, Al Shamal Road (North Road), north of Doha’s West Bay central business district.
The North Gate Mall is positioned as a mid- to premium-development with targeted luxury attracting leading fashion, home, dining, leisure and entertainment brands and outlets along with superior office accommodation.
Phase 1 comprises a total built-up area of around 375,000 square metres, with a podium comprising two levels of carpark, a three-level mall and six, five-level office buildings.
Construction will commence immediately and the project is due for completion in March 2014.
HLG CEO and managing director, Laurie Voyer, said the new project further illustrated the potential of the Qatar market for the Group.
“We’re seeing major opportunities across all our market sectors as the country continues its rapid development, and this is just one example of the type of work we are pursuing,” he said.
“We’re targeting a number of large-scale infrastructure and building projects in the country – such as the new Doha Metro and Lusail Expressway - and we see Qatar as one of our key markets going forward.”
