"Right now a worker as to share a room with 25 others. In our project, we'll have restrictions on these numbers, by having a maximum of six workers sharing a room," said Ibrahim Fakhroo, Business Development Director at Barwa Real Estate during the MEED Qatar Conference.
The city will open in March, with 9,000 units spread across a two million square meters. It will include a cricket field, football pitch and a commercial center. "We want them [workers] to feel like real humans."
Fakhroo confessed that his company's main aim is to make a profit from the project. "We are not greedy and we do play a social role, but at the same time we do make it clear that we are here to make profits."
