MSHEIREB PROPERTIES

What is Msheireb Properties ?

Msheireb Properties (formerly Dohaland) was launched in 2009 with the mandate to create leading edge urban living concepts that build on traditional Qatari architecture and design.

A subsidiary of Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development, Msheireb Properties draws inspiration from Vision 2030, based on the Qatari constitution and guidelines set by the Emir, His Highness Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani and Her Highness Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser to transform Qatar into a country capable of sustaining its own development by 2030, providing a high standard of living for its people for generations to come.

As Chairperson of Msheireb Properties , Her Highness Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser has initiated the building of a stronger foundation for Qatar through projects that will ‘enable people and communities to achieve, succeed and flourish’.

Msheireb Properties will build environments that support and encourage sustainable, innovative communities, enrich individual lives, promote environmentally friendly living and rediscover the heritage and culture that makes a place unique.

Musheireb

The signature project Msheireb is a pioneering development that will regenerate and revive a 31-hectare site at the centre of the capital city, recreating a way of living that is rooted in Qatari culture through a new architectural language that is based on community living.

The Msheireb project will blend traditional Qatari heritage and aesthetics with modern technology and will focus on sustainability and harmony with the environment. The idea behind the project is to bring people back to their roots, make Doha unique, and reignite the spirit of community and togetherness. It outlines the vision of Msheireb Properties chairperson Her Highness Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser to create built environments that represent the culture and aspirations of the people of Qatar.

The ‘Msheireb ’ development recently won two awards at the MIPIM Architectural Review Future Projects Awards. The ‘Mixed Use’ category and the ‘Overall Winner’ was awarded for the mixed use cluster of buildings around the Al Barahat Square, a new civic space in Phase 1B of the Msheireb project.

Due for completion in 2016, the mixed-use scheme will see Msheireb Properties construct over 100 buildings to offer housing, workspace, cultural and community facilities, whilst preserving key heritage buildings from the past. The entire scheme is targeting average LEED Gold certification, with several buildings targeting LEED Platinum, making it the world’s first sustainable downtown regeneration project.

• As a gift to the community, Msheireb Properties built Msheireb Enrichment Centre, a floating structure moored off Doha Corniche, host to local and international public seminars and workshops. It provides a peek into the background upon which Msheireb Properties ’s Qatari architectural language was developed.
