Barwa Financial District, as it is translated from Arabic, is to be built by the City Center and will become a regional buisness and financial hub in Doha.

Here is the image from Salman's discussion thread.

Seems to me the towers range in heights from 20-50 stories?

WoooooooooW

That is very huge ........ Where it will be exactly in Doha?

so this is in west bay then do you think its about the leanth of the city center towers or lower ?

WoOoOoOoOoW

Looks amazing

Woooooow!!!
I love it!
I was waiting for something like this!!!!!!!
Any other info??

maybe not "by the City Center " I think they meant In the City Center, they have a land in ther if I remember.

Great! I love this kind of development...I feel I wanna stand right in the middle of the square and stare at the towers already! lol! I wonder where this is gonna be though, for it seems very massive!

I just remembered that I have seen a huge empty land in Old Doha where there is a fence with "Barwa" written on it ..... I saw it maybe 4 mothes ago .....

I forgot where exactly .... I'll try to find it out tomorrow .....

^^^Great. So, they are going to build this in the middle of Doha not in West Bay... Wow.

maybe not "by the City Center " I think they meant In the City Center, they have a land in ther if I remember.

In Arabic it says by سيتي سنترwhich means that its by the mall, not the old doha. But imagine if it was in Al-Sadd. It would be so great for the people.

^^ Maybe they meant by City Center "مركز المدينة" but they translated it wrong.... :D

I think superinfiniti is right. They meant the City's center... But for another reason. The one in the West Bay is called City Centre, in UK English :) and it's a trademark so they won't write it the other way round (US English).
So, by writing City Center, they meant Doha's center! :D

No, I am pretty sure it was City Center Mall. Its an Arabic daily. If they meant downtown Doha, they would've mentioned the exact location like Doha Jaddeda, or Al-Sadd, or whatever.

^^ OK, so I was being a smart-ass! :D
Anyway, I want it to be in the West Bay... We need some competition for Al Dafna complex (Bavaria?). We need something this big! :)

i saw one barwa construction site in najma-muntazah area........but dats small i think.....

this project rocks.!!!!....and the best place to build this is west bay somewer close to bavaria.....

to me they're like short.

theres a big barwa project up by the intercon, but still nobody knows what that project is...

Yeah, theres no project board up at all. I was there today and there is a steel structure being bolted together there, I did see them working on the pilings for something a couple of months back, but this isn't going to be tall at all.

It's anyones guess at this point.

However, further down, next to the wonderfully rubbish Aladdins Kingdom, they are building something to do with the Intercon, they have begun foundation and piling work there and have moved all the rocks on the sae front to expose the cores, so it looks like they are going to remove them and build up the beach area for either an extention to the Intercons range of facilities. I'd guess a spa and villa style accomodation might be on the cards there.

^^secret tower :lol:

I saw this on a drawing board in front of a huge empty space. It was near La Cigale Hotel.

The project site is located between Al Sadd and Hamad Hospital roundabouts on Shk. Suhaim Bin Hamad Street in the Al Sadd area of Doha.

I have just visited the site by Al-Sadd and this is not it. Its definetly Al-Sadd development.

:cheers:

The original picture at the start of the thread looks Very similar to the billboard over by the Al Sadd development,they seem to be practically identical I live round the corner will take a picture tomorrow.

Sorry if I confused you and I am new here too. I also have shots of the Lagoon Plaza as I have brought there so will be regularly posting pictures there when I work it out.

Cheers

Oh wow I love the new render!!
Thanks Massilia!

Barwa Financial District

The Future Starts Here

Doha; a city that is ushering in the future! A location that is celebrating a diversifying economy, one that is moving away from its dependency on the oil and natural gas industries; an economy that is among the 10 richest in the world and growing on average 10% per annum. These amazing characteristics have placed Doha on the map as the metropolis of tomorrow and the financial hub of the future.

A city of this caliber needs matchless services and superlative infrastructure. It also needs credible, confident partners to join it, in its high speed development drive; Partners who are skilled at anticipating the velocity of the nation growth, and have the capability to come up with creative solutions that match the growing needs of the country. And this is where the Barwa Financial District comes in.

Project at a glance

The Barwa Financial District is a giant project conceptualized to serve the global, regional and local financial sector. The Financial District will house facilities attracting regional and international banks seeking specialized infrastructure to benefit from. But that is not all the Financial District is to be. In keeping with the philosophy of the parent company Barwa, the Financial District will serve as a 360 degree real estate solution. Barwa takes pride in building for communities and as such considers it a personal responsibility to provide comprehensively for the needs of each individual who will inhabit their spaces. The focus of Barwa development solutions is always and at every turn, the needs of the end user. Putting up buildings is not what Barwa is about; but designing, constructing and developing intelligent living and working solutions on behalf of people is what Barwa thrives on.

The future tenants, owners and visitors of the Financial District will enjoy facilities in the likes of luxury hotels, state of the art conference centers, retail stores housing international brands and service solutions that provide up market merchandise and services of all forms. The Financial District has been planned to anticipate and cater to every need of those who will live and work in it, use it or visit it. A place of worship, ample parking and loading zones, green walkways, terraced restaurants, lounges and coffee shops are just a few other comforts and necessities that have been designed specifically with the end user in mind.

Intelligent Planning at its Best

The Financial District is an ensemble complex, of ten state of the art buildings grouping individual and adjacent buildings together in a harmonious blend of architectural excellence and is primed to be a leading destination in Qatar. The buildings in this group of ten, average 20 to 25 floors per structure and will be built on an approximate land mass of 380,000 plus sq.m . Crowning the Barwa Financial District is its 45 story high tower which is well on its way to being one of Doha’s landmark sights and an icon of the city’s skyline. Barwa is also delighted that this ensemble complex will also be among the 1st certified sustainably designed construction in the Middle East region.

The Barwa Financial District will be located in the new business city of Doha, West Bay. Cosmopolitan West Bay holds, government and ministerial offices, an up-market residential area, major shopping malls. In choosing a suitable site for the Financial District Barwa handpicked a location that is a mere 20 minutes away from the Doha International Airport. This decision for instance, was led by Barwa’s keen awareness of how precious a commodity time is, to global and regional business players.

The site for the Financial District has an approximate square area of 71, 600 plus sq. m and is situated along Majlis Al Taawon Street with secondary roads surrounding the perimeter allowing access to it from multiple sides. Like traditional Arabic architecture the Business center opens to the inside. Since architecture for banks and financial institutions call for transparency the Financial District employs designs characterized by glass, chrome, stainless steel, and premium ceramics and stone detail.

Built today for those who will inherit tomorrow.

The project planners spent endless hours going into every minute detail of the Financial District. Beginning from the choice of selecting the right raw materials and balancing it with the harmony in design, analyzing the feel of each surface and committing to a finish that personifies excellence, the team went over every centimeter of the Financial District with single minded devotion. The futuristic buildings of the project have willfully and creatively captured nature’s advantages by making the sun, wind, water, and air work as complementary elements that contribute to the atmosphere within. Integration of the building’s structures into the eco system by accessing solar and wind potential, shaded and landscaped spaces that facilitate a free and natural flow of air, effective use of passive solar energy, efficient thermal retention and heat recovery, imaginative use of vegetation crafted into to soothing green recreation spaces, and creative capture of solar access in winter are but a few of the designer delights that the project engineers are unwrapping as part of the project’s gift to the community.

The engineer’s goal was to design and develop an ensemble of buildings that went beyond being a mega real estate project. Their commitment was to deliver a state of the art solution to a high rise, global financial community; A community who were not just serving the requirements of today but anticipating the needs of tomorrow and excelling at providing for both.

The project extends to include the provision of high level services related to the financial and banking solutions, such as financing, insurance and foreign banks (offshore banks) and international consultation agencies specialized in different areas, such as auditing offices , attorney and legal consultation bodies .

Mixed-use Towers, Doha, Qatar

Designed for a compact, prominent site along Doha’s high-profile corniche business district, this proposed development includes below-grade parking, a hotel and condominium tower, above-grade parking structure, eight floors of offices, and rooftop banquet and conference facilities.

Working in collaboration with PDI, the design of this scheme began with an investigation of modern and vernacular architectural forms of the Arabian peninsula, as well as an analysis of solar exposure and seaward views. The resulting design employs a series of perforated metal veils that shade the curtain wall towers from the blazing desert sun and evoke traditional screen patterns. The fan-like organization of rooms in the hotel and residential tower capitalizes on the sweeping views of the sea. At the center of the scheme, a lacey, white metal minaret emerges out of the hotel lobby that operates both as a symbol and as a unique vantage point for observing the rapidly growing city of Doha.

Just wanted to post this but I still dont have any idea if we can rely on this resource.

Anyone heard of it?

Thanks Suzan, I think I have the solution to this mystery :D I'm pretty sure this is one of the towers for the Barwa financial center, actually the iconic 45-floor tower of the development:

US firms start work on Qatar building projects

A joint venture of two US-based project management firms has started work on three construction projects in Qatar worth $2.9bn.
The joint venture will work with Qatar Project Management Company (QPM), which manages projects on behalf of Barwa Real Estate and Qatari Diar Real Estate Investment Company.

The three projects that Hill International and Louis Berger will manage are the $1.3bn Barwa City, the $1.3bn Barwa Financial District, which includes nine high-rise office towers, a five-star hotel, retail shopping and a conference centre; and the $300m Barwa Building Material Factories, which is a manufacturing complex in Doha.

Barwa Real Estate Company set up QPM to manage its projects and those of Qatari Diar Real Estate Investment Company.

The two companies have schemes in Qatar such as Barwa al-Khor and Lusail, and 20 other schemes in the Middle East and the rest of the world.

They include mixed-use developments, high-rise commercial towers, residential schemes, hotels and resorts.

Its great that they are actually starting work on this project!

"بروة" تعيّن "بويج للإنشاءات" مقاولاً رئيسياً لمشروع "الحي المالي"
بدء عمليات الإنشاء على مساحة نصف مليون متر مربع

الخاطر: إنشاء فندق عالمي من 400 غرفة وسوق للمنتجات العالمية
غابرييل: قطر إحدى أسرع الدول نمواً في المنطقة
الدوحة – أحمد سيــد:

أعلنت أمس شركة بروة العقارية تعيين شركة "بويج للإنشاءات"، الرائدة عالمياً في قطاع الإنشاءات، مقاولاً رئيسياً لمشروع "حي بروة المالي" الذي تعتزم تشييده في المدينة التجارية الجديدة في منطقة الخليج الغربي بالدوحة.
ويشكل الإعلان عن هذه الاتفاقية إيذاناً ببدء العمليات الإنشائية في الحي المالي الذي تتجاوز مساحته المبنية نصف مليون متر مربع. ولدى اكتماله، سيضم الحي أحد أهم الفنادق الفاخرة، ومركز مؤتمرات عصريا ، ومركزاً للتسوق يجمع العلامات التجارية الشهيرة، وساحات عامة إضافة إلى مجموعة متنوعة من المطاعم والمقاهي، هذا فضلاً عن البرج الذي سيقع في مركز الحي ويصل ارتفاعه لأكثر من 50 طابقاً.
وقد تم إعلان تعيين شركة بويج رسمياً خلال حفل خاص بهذه المناسبة أقيم في فندق "جراند حياة الدوحة" يوم أمس، بحضور السيد غانم بن سعد آل سعد، رئيس مجلس إدارة شركة بروة العقارية، والسيد إيف غابرييل، رئيس مجلس الإدارة والرئيس التنفيذي لشركة "بويج للإنشاءات"، بحضور عدد من قيادات الشركتين .
بهذه المناسبة، قال السيد غانم بن سعد آل سعد، رئيس مجلس الإدارة والعضو المنتدب لشركة بروة العقارية: "تمتلك ’بويج ‘ خبرة واسعة في مجال الإنشاءات بما يضمن لنا تطبيق أفضل المعايير العالمية في مشروعنا الجديد في منطقة ’الخليج الغربي‘. ومن شأن الحي المالي المبتكر الذي سيحتضن نخبة من أبرز المؤسسات التجارية والمالية في العالم، أن يصبح وجهة مميزة ويوفر بيئة عمل تستقطب الشركات الراغبة في تطوير أعمالها وتحقيق حضور قوي في الأسواق المحلية والإقليمية والدولية. وانطلاقاً من هذا الهدف، جاء قرارنا الاستراتيجي بالتحالف مع ’بويج ‘ بوصفها إحدى الشركات الرائدة عالمياً في قطاع الإنشاءات".
وقال ان بروة ترحب بالشركات المحلية ذات القدرة المادية والفنية للدخول في مشاريعها ، ولكن نعتقد ان حجم مشاريع بروة العملاقة اكبر بكثير من شركات المقاولات المحلية ، ولكننا سوف ندعم شركاتنا ذات القدرة المالية والفنية الجيدة للدخول في مشاريعنا .. لافتا الى ان بروة لا تريد ان تنشئ مشاريع كبرى مترهلة في قطر ، وهناك كثير من المشاريع في قطر تعاني كثير من العيوب الانشائية ، وقد أخذنا عهدا على أنفسنا في الديار وبروة ان نقدم خدمات جديدة لوطننا ، كبيرة في معانيها وقيمتها المعمارية والهندسية .
وأشار السيد يوسف الخاطر الرئيس التنفيذي لشركة بروة ، أن المساحة الاجمالية لحي بروة المالي تصل لحوالي 500 الف متر مربع ، منها 65 الف متر مربع لانشاء فندق عالمي يتكون من 400 غرفة بها جميع الخدمات وقاعة للمؤتمرات ، اضافة الى تنفيذ سوق تجاري للمنتجات العالمية بحوالي 10 الاف متر مربع ، ومواقف للسيارات ذو ثلاث طوابق تستوعب 5 الاف سيارة، وخدمات اخرى تشمل كامل مساحة المشروع.
وتتمتع "بويج للإنشاءات" بحضور قوي في 80 دولة حول العالم، ولديها معرفة واسعة وخبرة عميقة في المنطقة، حيث إنها تعمل على تنفيذ عدد من المشاريع الرائدة في مصر، والسعودية، إلى جانب مشروع "حي بروة المالي" الذي سيمكّنها من دخول السوق القطرية بقوة.
من جانبه، أعرب إيف غابرييل، رئيس مجلس الإدارة والرئيس التنفيذي لشركة "بويج للإنشاءات"، عن سعادته بأن يقترن اسم "بويج" بمشروع ضخم ومهم مثل "حي بروة المالي" في واحدة من أسرع الدول نمواً وضمن واحدة من أكثر مناطق العالم حيوية وأسرعها ازدهاراً.
وقال غابرييل: "تمثل هذه الشراكة خطوة هامة بالنسبة لـ ’بويج للإنشاءات‘، لا سيما في ظل البيئة الاقتصادية الراهنة، حيث إنها ستلعب دوراً كبيراً في تعزيز حضورنا الدولي، وتتيح لنا لعب دور رئيسي في هذه المنطقة الحيوية من العالم والتي تشهد معدلات نمو عالية".
ويعد "حي بروة المالي" أحد المشاريع الضخمة والمرموقة التي تعمل "بروة" على تطويرها في قطر ومنها "بروة الدوحة"؛ و"بروة البراحة"؛ و"بروة الخور"؛ و"بروة السّد". ومن المتوقع اكتمال المرحلة من المشروع الجديد في الربع الأول من عام 2013.
وتعد شركة "بويج للإنشاءات" إحدى الشركات الرائدة عالمياً في مجالات البناء، والهندسة المدنية، ومقاولات الكهرباء والصيانة. وتعود جذور الشركة التي تأسست في عام 1952 إلى فرنسا، ويعمل لديها أكثر من 50 ألف موظف حول العالم.

Bouygues to build $1.4bn Barwa Financial District

http://www.thepeninsulaqatar.com/images/November2009/1baswa.jpg
Ghanim bin Saad Al Saad, chairman and managing director, Barwa with Bouygues Batiment International officials looking at a scaled model of Financial District project.

Barwa has appointed Bouygues Construction as the main contractor for the Barwa Financial District to be built in the commercial district of West Bay. The first stage of project is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2013. The contract is worth $1.4bn, Bouygues said in a statement

Bouygues Construction will work with Qatari companies Midmac Contracting Company and Aljaber Engineering on the project, which will take 3 1/2 years to build and involve 6,000 workers at peak times, it said.

The project will include nine office buildings with up to 52 stories, a 5-star hotel and a shopping centre.

The deal was announced at a ceremony at the Grand Hyatt, Doha, by Chairman & Managing Director of Barwa Real Estate Ghanim bin Saad Al Saad and the Chairman and CEO of Bouygues Construction Yves Gabriel.

Al Saad said: “Bouygues Construction will bring the best standards in construction to the new district of West Bay. The Financial District will be a high quality home for leading financial and commercial institutions in the world. It will become a focal point in Doha and will create the best business community in the region for companies seeking to excel in the local, regional and international markets,” he said.

Bouygues is represented in over 80 countries and is no stranger to the region, with a number of high-end projects in Egypt and KSA.

Wow good thing this project is progressing! :)

this place will have a huge traffic crisis i guess.. i hope authorities get over it

^^
you mean west bay in general or the project, cuz the project's parking will be in three levels & enough for 5000 vehicle!
i believe it's enough :colgate:

^^ i dont really think 5000 is a good idea.. they should have planned for at least 7000...

i meant westbay in general.. if they plan of anything right now,would be better but not after these offices gets filled... and yea.. 5000 will jus accomodate the employees..

will they made the road inside 4 lanes but we still need more help in terms of traffic and parking.... more parking space should increase by atleast 20,000 cars by 2015 and roads that are 2 lanes become 3 and the ones that are 3 become 4.... especially the corniche road and other near by roads such as istiqlal road..

i meant westbay in general.. if they plan of anything right now,would be better but not after these offices gets filled... and yea.. 5000 will jus accomodate the employees..

well, yea agree on the west bay point you made, however they're planning for it. The sheraton park for instanse, wouldn't there be an underground parking lot under it to serve the area?! . .i'm sure i read something about that somewhere.

About this project, i think 5000 is enough (of course as qatarson said the more the better), but i believe the high tower is gonna be used as a hotel & i'm sure many tourists won't be using private cars for transportation . . .

^^ stunning projects guyz !!!!

has construction started ?

QP plans to buy Barwa Financial District


Qatar Petroleum is considering purchase of the 71,000sq m Barwa Financial District at West Bay and to use it as QP’s corporate centre for administration, general operations and financial activities.
Barwa said it has ‘reached a deal with Qatar Petroleum to begin discussions to sell Barwa Financial District to QP.’

HE the Deputy Premier Abdullah bin Hamad al-Attiyah, also QP chairman, said: “In light of the current economic situation, Qatar Petroleum needed to have an answer for its current and future headquarters requirements and the Barwa Financial District is that solution. QP welcomes and looks forward to further co-operation on this project.”

Barwa chairman and managing director, Ghanim bin Saad al-Saad said, “We welcome enthusiastically the sale of the Barwa Financial District to QP. The project has been designed to house and service the world’s leading companies and we’re proud to announce that it will. While QP has worked tirelessly through the years to develop Qatar’s oil and gas sector, Barwa has worked in tandem to develop the country’s infrastructure

Completion date set for financial hub in Doha

The Barwa Financial District project features an outer ring of six office towers ascending in a clockwise direction from 20 to 35 storeys and an inner ring of towers, comprising three office towers and a hotel ascending in a counter-clockwise direction from 31 to 50 storeys


Work on the under-construction Barwa Financial District is progressing as per schedule and is slated to be completed in March 2013, a Barwa official told Gulf Times yesterday.

Set to become a premier business hub in Doha upon completion, the project is spread on 375,000sqm of prime land and is situated along the Majlis Al Ta’awon Street which already houses several government ministries and organisations.

“Construction work is going as planned. The forecast for completion date is March 17, 2013,” the official said.

Work on the project began on September 15, 2009.

When asked about the interest of Qatar Petroleum (QP) in the project, the official said: “There are ongoing negotiations with Qatar Petroleum as announced earlier.”

QP, in February 2010, said it was considering the purchase of the Barwa Financial District in order to use it as a corporate centre for administration, general operations and financial activities.

Barwa Real Estate, the parent company of the Financial District, also said it had “reached a deal to begin discussions to sell Barwa Financial District to QP”.

The project was originally envisioned to serve as a local, regional and global financial hub, housing facilities that attract banks and financial institutions.
The project, designed by KEO International, features an outer ring of six office towers ascending in a clockwise direction from 20 to 35 storeys and an inner ring of towers, comprising three office towers and a hotel tower ascending in a counter-clockwise direction from 31 to 50 storeys .

The placement of the nine office towers and their opposing movement of heights help maintain maximum views and ensures that all the buildings have access to natural light.

The office towers are connected by a two- storey enclosed atrium lined on either side with retail space on both the ground and first floor to create an intimate and lively boutique mall.

The plaza at the main retail level will be open-to-air and lined with restaurants and cafes. The axis from the main street to the northeastern corner of the site culminates with the Prayer Hall providing geometric order to the development, according to KEO.

The project is expected to provide up to 344,650sqm of office space, 17,820sqm of retail, 404 hotel rooms and 13,025sqm for a convention centre.
Last month, Barwa Financial District won the “World’s Best” prize in the category of International Office Development at the International Property Awards.

Qatar Project Management (QPM) is the project manager, while KEO serves as consultant. The main contractor is Bouygues Batiment International, which is working with local companies Midmac Contracting Company and Al Jaber Engineering.

The photo shows 10 cores rising, the 11th might be out of view, but it seems the entire project is coming up at the same time :D

Thanks Mr Alrayan! Yes all towers are rising in the same time. You can see that floors surrounding the cores are above street level at the moment. The most massive project in West Bay at the moment for sure. And the best is that it will end up hiding Ezdan somehow :D

^^ looooooool

Hiding Ezdan might be the best part !!

It is ON the skyline.

Thank you Halawala!!! Doha skyline is very very nice!!!:cheers:

Amazing picture! I think they might build another signal in front of the Entrance in the future to facilitate the movement of cars. I wish this complex was built in Lusail though.

When complete this will definetly fill the gap in the skyline behind Commerical Bank.

Will the ugly compound next to it be demolished?? It seems soo out of place now. It could be used for future expansion of the complex.

^^ And a temporary green area.

QP and Barwa are pertty close on reaching a deal, according to the newspapers today.

Taken from the roof of Ezdan Towers restaurant, so its not a direct view; had to put my camera out in the balcony for the shot!

أكد سعادة د. محمد صالح السادة وزير الطاقة والصناعة أن اتفاقية بيع مشروع الحي المالي لقطر للبترول تمثل خطوة رائدة لجمع قطر للبترول بمختلف إداراتها التي تتوزع في أكثر من 13 موقعا في مقر واحد يمثل مركزا للشركة بحكم مكانتها ودورها البارز في الاقتصاد الوطني وفي مباني متطورة وراقية وفي قلب الدوحة الحديثة.
وقال إن المشروع يفي تماما باحتياجات قطر للبترول وأن التوقيع على هذه الاتفاقية يطوي صفحة سابقة ليضم كل مقار وإدارات الشركة في مكان واحد وأوضح السادة في تصريحات صحافية أمس عقب التوقيع على الاتفاقية الإطارية لبيع مشروع بروة الحي المالي لقطر للبترول أن قطر للبترول لن تكون شريكا في مشروع عقاري وإنما اشترت هذا المشروع ليكون مقرا بما فيه الفندق وأن قطر للبترول تبحث مع أطراف أخرى لإدارة هذا الفندق وقد بدأت الحديث مع شركة الفنادق الوطنية مشيرا إلى أن قطر للبترول ليست مستثمرا ولا تريد الدخول في مجال الاستثمار العقاري وإنما تحتاج لصرح الكبير ليضم إدارتها وأقسامها وإداراتها المتفرقة وليكون لها مركز كأي شركة كبرى وبحجم قطر للبترول وفي قلب العاصمة.. وأكد أن تكلفة المشروع تصل إلى بلايين الريالات وقال إن المشروع انتهى من مرحلة التصميم وهو الآن في مرحلة التنفيذ والتي بدأت منذ عام 2009.. وأن المشروع سيكتمل في 2014 قال إن هذا المشروع كان مخصصا للحي المالي وبالتعاون مع الإخوان في بروة تم تغير الاستراتيجية في أن يصبح هذا المشروع مقرا لقطر للبترول مشيدا بتعاون شركة بروة في إدخال التعديلات التي طلبتها قطر للبترول في تصميمات المشروع ليلائم احتياجات قطر للبترول بإداراتها وأقسامها المختلفة وقد قامت بروة باستيعاب كل متطلبات قطر للبترول في التصميم الجديد ليتحول من حي مالي إلى مقر قطر للبترول أوضح السادة أن الطرفين سيسعيان بعد الانتهاء من الاتفاقية الإطارية الأساسية إلى وضع الاتفاقيات التفصيلية للمشروع وعن تكلفة المشروع قال إن هناك مفاوضات على التكلفة المباشرة لكن قطر للبترول سوف تستلم المشروع مكتمل البناء بشركة بروة.. ولا يوجد رقم حتى الآن تقريبي.. مشيرا إلى أنه لن يكون في خانة المئات بل في حدود البلايين من الريالات.
أكد أن الاتفاقية الإطارية ملزمة للطرفين وهناك وقت زمني للتوصل للاتفاقية النهائية وأن قطر للبترول وبروة ليس في حاجة لطرف استشاري خارجي لتقييم المشروع فهما يمتلكان الخبرة والكفاءة لتقييم الأساسيات وكل النواحي المالية والتي سيتم تحديدها لاحقا. مؤكدا أن الاتفاقية واضحة سيتم فيها بيع كل المشروع بكل محتوياته لقطر للبترول بما فيه الأرض والفندق والمباني الإدارية والاتفاقية الإطارية بينت أنه ستتم مباشرة نقل ملكية مشروع بروة الحي المالي إلى قطر للبترول وسيتم دفع المبالغ المستحقة من قطر للبترول شركة بروة العقارية.
وعلى صعيد آخر أكد وزير الطاقة أن منظمة أوبك لن تعقد اجتماعا استثنائيا وأنها تراقب الأوضاع الخاصة بالعرض والطلب في الأسواق العالمية للنفط مشيرا إلى أن الإمدادات في السوق جيدة ومريحة.
ومن جانبه قدم سعادة السيد غانم بن سعد آل سعد رئيس مجلس الإدارة والعضو المنتدب لشركة بروة العقارية شكره لسعادة وزير الطاقة على دعم من البداية لهذا المشروع وقال إن المشروع يتوافق مع رؤية دولة قطر في بناء حديث لمؤسساتنا الوطنية وأعرب عن سعادته بالتوقيع على هذه الاتفاقية هذا اليوم وهي كذلك بشرى سعيدة لمساهمي بشركة بروة الذين وعدناهم قبل فترة بأننا نسعى جاهدين لتنفيذ هذا المشروع العملاق وإيجاد مشترين لهذا المشروع ونحن سعداء بتوقيع هذه الاتفاقية المباركة مع مؤسسة وطنية باسمها وبتاريخها.
مضى آل سعد قائلا: "نحن في بروة لدينا رؤية واضحة في دعم الاقتصاد الوطني ومن خلال تقديم حلول حديثة للتطوير العمراني الحديث قبل يومين تدشنا مشروع الشارع التجاري واليوم نزف البشرى لمساهمينا بالتوقيع على عقد بيع مشروع الحي المالي كما ذكرت أن هذا المشروع صمم منذ البداية ليضم كبريات الشركات العالمية على أعلى المستويات وأعتقد أن قطر للبترول سوف تستفيد من هذه التسهيلات الخاصة من البنية التحتية القوية وحداثة البناء وجودة المشروع. فيما يتعلق بسعر الصفقة قال: نعتقد أن موضوع السعر هو شيء مهم جدا للمساهمين في الشركة وقد اتفقنا مع قطر للبترول على وضع معايير مالية محددة لتنفيذ هذا المشروع والاتفاق على السعر النهائي لهذا المشروع ونحن في طور تعديل المتطلبات الخاصة بقطر للبترول والمساحات المكتبية ومواقف السيارات والفندق المرتبط بهذا المشروع نعتقد أن الرقم الاستثماري لهذا المشروع سوف يعلن في نهاية المشروع بكل تأكيد كمؤسسة في البورصة يجب أن نعلن عن كل عملياتنا الاستثمارية والمالية في إطار الشافية والإفصاح ولكن في هذه اللحظة لا يوجد رقم محدد حيث يوجد إطار محدد وواضح للتكاليف التي سوف تؤول إليها التكلفة النهائية للمشروع ومن هذه اللحظة سوف يتم تغيير المشروع من مشروع بروة الحي المالي إلى مشروع قطر للبترول وسوف يتم تقديم تصور كامل من قبل قطر للبترول وبروة لوضع هذا المشروع كاسم تجاري لهذا المشروع التجاري.
وقد أعلنت أمس شركة بروة العقارية، إحدى الشركات العقارية والاستثمارية الرائدة المدرجة ببورصة قطر، عن توقيع عقد بيع إطاري مع شركة قطر للبترول؛ حيث ستقوم شركة بروة الحي المالي، إحدى الشركات التابعة لشركة بروة العقارية، بتطوير مشروع بروة الحي المالي المتميز في تصميمه وطابعه المعماري، ليصبح المقر الرئيسي لشركة قطر للبترول حيث سيتم نقل ملكيته إلى شركة قطر للبترول التي ستمتلك وتشغل العقار.
وقد تم توقيع مذكرة اتفاقية البيع من قبل سعادة الدكتور محمد بن صالح، وزير الطاقة والصناعة والسادة رئيس مجلس إدارة قطر للبترول وسعادة السيد غانم بن سعد آل سعد رئيس مجلس الإدارة العضو المنتدب لشركة بروة العقارية والعضو المنتدب.
وقد عقد الاجتماع الخاص بتوقيع الاتفاقية بمقر شركة قطر للبترول بالدوحة وحضره عدد من قيادات الشركتين.
ومن الجدير بالذكر أن تصميم مشروع حي بروة المالي مستوحى من عناصر التراث والثقافة القطرية، وهو ما يجعله قادراً على أن يصبح مركز إشعاع حضاريا يلبي كافة احتياجات الأعمال المحلية والدولية بالدوحة بما يقدمه من مساحات مكتبية راقية فاخرة وبنية تحتية قوية عصرية ومرافق عامة ومواقف سيارات تتسع لما يربو على 5 آلاف سيارة. ويتكون المشروع من 10 أبراج تتراوح ارتفاعاتها ما بين 21 و36 طابقا وتشغل موقعاً استراتيجياً متميزاً بمنطقة الخليج الغربي بمدينة الدوحة. ويتوسط هذه المجموعة من الأبراج شاهقة الارتفاع، برج بارتفاع 50 طابقا هو درة التاج في هذا المشروع الذي من المتوقع أن يصبح معلماً بارزاً من معالم مدينة الدوحة. هذا فضلاً عن أن المشروع يعد من أوائل مشاريع التطوير المستدامة من حيث تصميمها وطابعها المعماري في الشرق الأوسط.
وتجدر الإشارة إلى أن الصفقة تتضمن قيام بروة بتسليم المشروع بعد تطويره بالكامل لشركة قطر للبترول، وهو ما يمكن الأخيرة من مزاولة عملياتها الإدارية والتشغيلية بالمقر الجديد فور استلام المشروع.
ومن المتوقع أن تستكمل بروة جميع الأعمال الإنشائية الجارية بالمشروع وجميع الترتيبات المتعلقة بإدارة المشروع بحلول العام 2014 وهو نفس التاريخ الذي ستقوم فيه شركة قطر للبترول بالإشغال الفوري للعقار.




well, I read all the local newspapers, and they didn't mention anything about the mall. they only mentioned the hotel. If you read the red part, you will find out that QP ask Baraw to changed the project strategy for them. :ohno:


I hope I'm wrong though :cry:

^^ Are you Qatari !?

EDIT: Nevermind, Ibrahim Al-Emadi, 25 years old, from Qatar :D

I guess it wont have that mall you guys waiting for , and its 10 towers with the hotel not 11

I don't think it should have a mall, its the new HQ for QP after all

^^
the same goes with the hotel . .

well, Hotel is fine if its well separated from the other towers, just like Qtel and 4season :)

I don't think it should have a mall, its the new HQ for QP after all


to be honest, I think QP should stuck with the previous plan.... Energy City. :)

^^ they were not going to be at energy city but a plot right next to it and energy city is under construction as we speak.

hmm, if they have a plot right next to "EnergyCity" then for whom is it made for ?:sly:

The plot was supposed to be QP HQ and energy city is for all energy related companies.

I think its stupid for it to be a QP HQ wrong location.

They should be focusing on turning west bat more business and commercial.

It is seriously starting to rise, and the compound next it is seriously becoming ridiculous!

^^ OMG yes ! West bay should be "purified" ASAP !

It is seriously starting to rise, and the compound next it is seriously becoming ridiculous!

I guess cause Im used to seeing it, it looks normal to me lol

But, they should build something there, or maybe even a mini-park, or expand the road.

Tower 1 is on hold possible conversion to polyclinic. huh! as per advice.

Ya5ee 7aram what happened to these and the fact that it ended with QP, not to mention the possibility of not having a mall or hotel....

^^ Im actually all for it, and I think they said the hotel will still be there.

^^ So you gave up on QP HQ in Lusail :ohno:

this is progressing really quickly, some one should take some photos !!

right from the foundation work till now, IMHO, this has to be the cleanest construction work project in doha, hardly see any mess around. I'll try my best to take photos tmorrow InsyaAllah.

I'll take some pictures on my way today in-sha'-allah

Looks like the two towers on the left side topped out already

Mashallah, the pace of this project is amazing allahuma la 7asad ! Inshallah it gets complete ASAP and gives a nice impact and intensity to the skyline. :D

But with Qatar petroleum owning the complex i only hope that inshallah it still has the shopping mall and hotel ;)

they will keep the hotel but im not sure about the mall,, so many malls in the area so no need for another mall

there's only city center mall...
We've got the gate but that's quite tiny and for luxury shops only.

A mid-tier mall with NEW brands would be great.

I wish this project will get delays. I can't imagine the traffic that this development will generate once all the thousands I employees are transferred here! It will add at least 15 minutes on traffic in the already contested corniche in the morning!

more than 200+

This is dominating the skyline ! since the location is at the west of westbay itself its blocking the view of the other towers when viewed from Doha... the skyline now can be viewed properly from the south end of the corniche seulement....

Great updates :)

they blocking the view of the other towers, dont like the location or the way they built next to each other like this !!!

^^ hmm the location is good because all the towers located in one area..

i would say if they design them in different look as a meixed towers in on location (miny city) it will look nicer

but they are not bad... :bash: i should like them its where i will work in the future LOL

^^ I like your idea, building every tower with a different design so that they look like different projects, but they are all one complex, kind of like Mushierb but in smaller scale for example.

Hello Guys

Please can you add more photos for QP district.

Thank you

XSPlatforms had installed state of the art fixed BMU's for all the towers in QP Distt. The building maintenance unit extends vertically to a height of 15 meters. The jib is more than 40 meters long, when fully extended. The machine can hoist loads of 240 to 350 kg and has a maximum lifting height of 160 meters. The entire installation weighs more than 40 tons and is equipped with a radiographic communication device.

The machines are assembled by XSPlatforms in the Netherlands and will be installed on location by XSPlatforms Qatar LLC.

Thanks for the updates. I hope this never finishes; unless they redesign the Cornish or something!


redesign cornish !!!! the district has nothing to do with Cornish !!

I also dont like the way these 11 towers gathered together like this !! it seems to me a huge tower has been clustered. also it prevent the nice view of the the other towers where the palms, and the tornado are
so, my wish is that these towers get demolished because they are not in the right spot
