United Development Company (UDC), the master developer of The Pearl-Qatar, has finalised the sale of Tower 2, to a strategic property investor for a total value of QR 1.25 billion, the company said in a release on Wednesday.
Tower 2 is one of the two iconic commercial towers located at the entrance of The Pearl within the Abraj Quartier precinct.
UDC President and CEO, Ibrahim al Othman commented,"We are satisfied with the closing of the tower's sales deal and the speedy and efficient handover process commensurate with the quality benchmark recognised by UDC as a leading developer, and The Pearl-Qatar as a destination of choice for lifestyle, business and leisure seekers."
He said,"Completing the sale of The Pearl Tower 2 is a significant accomplishment which adds value to UDC's deliverables in 2016. The sale also proves UDC is capable of delivering on its promise to achieve the best returns to its valued shareholders through a commitment to the development of integrated real estate products that meet the growing demand for smart residential and commercial products.
"In this spirit, The Pearl Towers are expected to positively impact the business dynamics in the vital West Bay area with the looming move-in of office tenants in 2017."
Standing as the tallest architecture on The Pearl Island, the twin 201-metre high, 42-storey Pearl towers offer amenities designed to provide the best possible working environment amongst the best facilities such as 981 car parks, 20 elevators and state-of-the-art building systems including CCTV monitoring, chilled water cooling, pneumatic solid waste management and many more smart features.
The towers also boast a total leasable area of 54,000 square meters each, which overlook the Gulf waters and offer panoramic views of Doha's West Bay and The Pearl, along with direct access to Doha's major cities and to the Island's premier restaurants and retailers as well as the upcoming rail network.
The other Pearl Tower 1, property of UDC, is now available for leasing, a statement said.
The Pearl-Qatar offers freehold and residential rights to international investors. The Pearl includes five-star hotels, marinas, a yacht club, schools and other services as well as luxury residential property and upscale retail, restaurant and lifestyle amenities.
