Doha: Qatar’s real estate sector is witnessing a robust growth attracting local and international investors. Cityscape Qatar – the country’s most influential real estate and property investment, development, and networking event will showcase innovative and exciting projects from the GCC and beyond.

Cityscape Qatar will take place from June 20-22, at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center (DECC) and will feature some of the city’s most exciting and investible real estate opportunities from top-end developers across all property sectors.

“Qatar’s economic activity is gaining pace showing signs of recovery while putting the pandemic behind. The new foreign ownership law further supports the government’s plans for economic diversification to help achieve Qatar’s National Vision 2030. Real estate asset classes including residential, commercial, hospitality and tourism are flourishing due to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, completion of new smart cities like Lusail and the Asian Games 2030,” said Cityscape Qatar on its website.

Qatar is aiming to be one of the finest models and this is apparent from the world-leading infrastructure projects – green transport, green hotels, green stadiums, green World Cup and much more, advancing its sustainability agenda forward, it further noted.

The three-day event, which comes just five months ahead of the FIFA World Cup, will also shine a light on what the country’s real estate market will look like post-FIFA World Cup. The Cityscape Qatar’s 10th edition this year will offer visitors and exhibitors the opportunity to see leading projects being launched on to the market.

With an annual per capita income of just under $100,000 in 2020 according to the IMF, Qatar’s real estate market is gradually accounting for a growing proportion of the country’s GDP. 

Aligned with the four pillars of Qatar’s National Vision 2030, the Conference will be held under the theme, ‘Sustainable, Resilient, Affordable and Liveable’, to showcase how these key themes are gaining prominence and changing the future of real estate in Qatar. It will feature speakers from both government entities and key real estate leaders, with each demonstrating how these pillars are gaining prominence and changing the future of real estate in Qatar. 

The conference will also cover topics such as ‘Big Opportunities for Qatar Real Estate: A Macroeconomic Perspective’, ‘The Future of Architecture in Qatar’, and ‘ESG – A Gamechanger for the GCC Real Estate 
Sector’.
