The Pearl - The Finest in Qatar Real Estate

[Ace]

www.mannzili.com: The Pearl-Qatar in Doha, Qatar is an artificial
island spanning nearly four million square metres. When completed it
will be the first land in Qatar to be available for freehold ownership
by foreign nationals.[1]

Once completed The Pearl will create over 32 kilometers of new
coastline, for use as a residential estate with an expected 15,000
dwellings by 2010. Developed by United Development Company (UDC) and
master planned by architecture and design firm Callison, the island is
located 350 metres offshore of Doha’s West Bay Lagoon area.
Residential development on the island is intended to incorporate
various national and international themes including aspects of Arabic,
Mediterranean and European culture. Commercial and educational
facilities are also planned to support the various residential
precincts.

Visitors can now get a first look at phase one of The Pearl - Qatar,
Porto Arabia. The first five parcels of Porto Arabia, the first three
bays developed on The Pearl - Qatar are now complete.

The name "The Pearl" was chosen because the island will be built on
one of Qatar's previous major pearl diving sites. Qatar was one of the
major pearl traders of Asia before the Japanese introduced cheaper
more affordable pearls just before Qatar's oil boom. The Pearl Qatar
will help represent Qatar's rich past in the pearl industry. Once
completed The Pearl will represent a string of pearls.

There will be over 13 islands when finished. The largest of the
islands will feature a large range of luxury villas, apartments, three
5 star hotels and over two million square meters of international
retail, restaurants, cafes and entertainment. Eight other private
islands will be for sale to private owners with the opportunity to
build upon them whatever they wish.
