Developer Msheireb Properties (formerly Dohaland) exhibited for the first time at MIPIM this year (2011), showing their flagship project Msheireb.  Through one of their appointed architects, mossessian & partners, Msheireb is already a double winner of the Architectural Review Future Awards, winning in the mixed-use and overall winner categories.

mossessian & partners is one of four practices working on the Msheireb scheme, a pioneering 35 hectare, QAR 20bn ($5.5 billion) project that aims to revive, regenerate and conserve the historical downtown of Qatar’s capital city.  Other architects on the scheme are Adjaye Associates, Allies & Morrison and John McAslan & Partners.

Due for completion in 2016,  Msheireb Properties’ mixed-use scheme will offer residential, commercial, retail and leisure facilities and involves the construction of over 100 buildings, all of which will be constructed by Msheireb Properties. 

A subsidiary of Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development, Dohaland was launched in 2009 with the mandate to create leading edge urban living concepts that build on traditional Qatari architecture and design.

Dohaland draws inspiration from Vision 2030, based on the Qatari constitution and guidelines set by the Emir, His Highness Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani and Her Highness Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser to transform Qatar into a country capable of sustaining its own development by 2030, providing a high standard of living for its people for generations to come.

As Chairperson of Msheireb Properties, Her Highness Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser has initiated the building of a stronger foundation for Qatar through projects that will ‘enable people and communities to achieve, succeed and flourish’.

Dohaland will build environments that support and encourage sustainable, innovative communities, enrich individual lives, promote environmentally friendly living and rediscover the heritage and culture that makes a place unique.
