Dohaland launches with promise of a sustainable future for Qatar

Dohaland was established in 2007 with the mandate to create leading edge urban living concepts that build on traditional Arabian architecture and design and will play a unique role in the mission and vision of Qatar Foundation, and The State of Qatar.

His Excellency Dr. Abdulla Hussain Al Kubaisi, Vice Chairman of Dohaland, said,

"Dohaland lays its foundation in Qatar's National Vision 2030 led by His Highness Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the Emir of Qatar, and based on the Qatari constitution and guidelines set by His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and Her Highness Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser Al Missned, which seeks to combine modern life with our values and culture, and connect and balance the old and the new."

"We are all set to fulfill the progressive vision of Her Highness Sheikha Mozah to prepare the people of Qatar and the region to meet the challenges of an ever-changing world. To make Qatar a leader in innovative education and research, and be at the forefront of the property development industry," HE Dr. Al Kubaisi added.

Dohaland is embarking on a mission to enhance and contribute to the social dynamism, cultural heritage and quality of life in Doha, Qatar, and beyond. Dohaland projects will provide a dynamic modern lifestyle that exists in harmony with its surroundings, and empowers the human potential to grow and flourish."

Her Highness identified a significant gap in the architectural history of Qatar. For a considerable amount of time, development in Doha became almost indistinguishable from that of the rest of the world. Dohaland's mandate is to research and understand what was good about the past, and how modern, innovative technologies and ideas can be blended to create a new architectural language rooted in the best of the past. As a result, Dohaland has spent time researching a Qatari architecture and urban planning language with the foremost experts in the industry to reclaim this language for future generations.

Dohaland's mission is to: build sustainable, innovative developments that enrich communities and individual lives; promote environmentally friendly living; rediscover and implement the heritage and culture that makes a place unique. The pillars on which the company is founded are Heritage and Culture, Innovation, Sustainability, Enrichment and Environment.

Eng. Issa Al Mohannadi, CEO of Dohaland, said, "Dohaland is unique in the development industry as we strive to build communities and create environments that will enable people and communities to achieve, succeed and flourish. Dohaland is a developer of innovative urban living environments as well as a developer of thoughts, knowledge, science and ideas which we will share the world. We will promote and implement sustainable concepts and innovative ideas, and aim to ensure maximum utilisation of resources with minimal impact on the environment."

Dohaland is working with some of the world's leading master planners, architects, engineers and designers to create and regenerate cities to serve the immediate and future needs of communities.

Dohaland projects are built with the long-term impact on the environment in mind, and as a developer the company will forego short-term gains in order to strike a healthy balance between best practices and people's needs.

The company endeavours to be a leading company in Qatar, representing the country in its work, at the forefront of the property development industry and will always be led by Dohaland values:

Proud: Proud of our heritage and contribution to a future greater Qatar
Creative: Believe in innovative and alternative thinking
Responsible: People and communities first Caring: Commitment to sustainability and the environment
Accomplished: Integrity and excellence in quality, details and delivery

Mr. Al Mohannadi commented,"What we are pursuing at Dohaland is not the easiest or quickest development strategy. Our projects will require significant research, will involve the input of a diverse group of people around the world and will be executed with great care and precision. We have taken a road which will be challenging, but the product will certainly justify the work required to achieve excellence. We will be a leader in development and an ambassador and flagship of Qatar".

Dohaland aims to become a high performing organization with a reputation for workforce stability, fostering the best talents in the industry. Dohaland will announce its first programs and projects in the coming months.
