Dohaland to Showcase Award Winning Regeneration Project at MIPIM
Doha, March 02 (QNA) -Dohaland will exhibit at MIPIM for the first time, bringing its award-winning, flagship project, Musheireb, to the world's largest property fair. Over 17,000 professionals attend MIPIM, (market for international property trade) the world's premier real estate industry event, which this year runs 8-10 March at the Palais des Festivals, Cannes, France.
Dohaland's flagship project Musheireb is a pioneering development that will regenerate and revive the old commercial centre of Doha. The QR20bn ($5.5 billion) scheme will transform a 31-hectare site at the centre of Qatar's capital city, recreating a way of living that is rooted in Qatari culture, attracting residents back to the city centre.
Due for completion in 2016, the mixed-use scheme will see Dohaland 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.
'Musheireb' development has won two awards at the MIPIM Architectural Review Future Projects Awards, through one of its appointed architects, mossessian & partners. 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 Musheireb project.
"Musheireb's recognition through the MIPIM AR Future Projects Awards suggests that the world can take cues from our sustainable, culturally sensitive and environmentally responsible development, particularly in metropolitan areas. It also underscores Qatar's leadership in the field of sustainable urban regeneration. We look forward to sharing our knowledge with the development community at MIPIM," said Eng. Issa M. Al Mohannadi, CEO of Dohaland.
Launched in March 2009 as a subsidiary of Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development, Dohaland aims to set a benchmark for sustainable downtown development that uses a bespoke architectural language that is forward-looking, yet draws its inspiration from the past.
The company commissioned three years of research by leading architects, masterplanners, engineers, designers and other experts from around the world (including Princeton, Harvard, Yale and MIT) to devise this new architectural language.
At MIPIM, Dohaland will offer the visitors a peek into the future of Doha (Qatar's capital), its past and its present, as well as an understanding of the unique features that are part of traditional Qatari living. Artifacts, images, and interactive displays will help visitors understand the process, progression and origins of Musheireb's new architectural language.
