Coral is an affiliate company of Atlantic Capital, a Doha-based
investment consultancy firm. Its three main partners, considered
among the most successful business leaders in the Middle East,
include Lebanese MP and former Information Minister Anwar El
Khalil, Abdulla Al-Jufairi, and Assem Al-Sheikh. 'Our company has been very impressed with the concept, design and construction of The Pearl-Qatar. We are excited to be partnering with them and look forward to future investments,' said Abdulla al-Jufairi, Chairman of Qatar Coral.
The Pearl-Qatar development was the only Qatari project to be awarded a top prize at the Arabian Property Awards, part of the International Property Awards programme.
The Pearl-Qatar has witnessed incredible strides and achievements over the past two years. It recently completed full reclamation of land and has begun construction of towers. Among the residential and commercial plots being developed, officials recently announced that Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts would open a new Doha-based property in the Porto Arabia district of The Pearl-Qatar.
Two years after the process started, The Pearl-Qatar has emerged as the largest island in Qatar waters. During this time, 400 hectares of new land have been created with a 32 kilometre shoreline, three coves, and navigable canals in addition to numerous other features.
The Pearl-Qatar is one of the largest and most prestigious real estate projects in Qatar, offering true freehold ownership opportunities to international buyers. While all tower plots in Porto Arabia, the first district of the island to be developed, have sold out, tower plots in Viva Bahriya, the second district of the island, continue to generate wide interest and are virtually sold out. Sale of residential units in Viva Bahriya is expected to be launched soon.
Construction of The Pearl-Qatar has been racing ahead and can be viewed from Doha's waterfront. The island will be home to some 42,000 residents.
