Dar Al Arkan, the leading real estate company in Saudi Arabia, and Qetaifan Projects, a leading Qatari real estate development company owned by Katara Hospitality, have signed an agreement to develop a premium project on Qetaifan Island North. The project marks Dar Al Arkan’s first entry into Qatar, with the aim of driving the development of the luxury property market and support the growth of Qatar’s real-estate sector.
Through the partnership, Dar Al Arkan will develop a luxury project on Qetaifan Island North comprising premium residential units with glorious direct, frontline sea views that capture the timeless appeal of seafront living coupled with modern amenities. The project will also offer residents access to specialised retail outlets on the ground floor. Work on the development will start in Q2 2022, and total sales are expected to reach over one billion Qatari Riyals.
Ziad El Chaar, Vice Chairman of Dar Al Arkan Properties, said: “We are excited to become part of Doha’s thriving real estate market. As the nation gets ready to host the World Cup next year, we believe this global event will have positive implications and position Qatar as a desirable market that is equally attractive to both residents and international investors. Our project on Qetaifan Island is unique and builds on Dar Al Arkan’s strategic aspirations of elevating the offerings as well as the quality of the real estate sector in the region.”
