The Pearl-Qatar in second release of Porto Arabia Towers

After last year’s highly successful launch of freehold towers around Porto Arabia, the main marina of The Pearl-Qatar, the rediscovered island being reclaimed off the coast of the Qatari capital, Doha, the project promoter United Development Company (UDC) has released the second wave of harbour-side homes in ten, 20-storey towers.

“The first release of West Porto Drive towers sold out within a week and demand from institutional investors has been running high,” said Nick Bashkiroff, Development Director, The Pearl-Qatar. “We anticipate similar demand this time around as news of the project has reached the international arena.”

The towers overlook Porto Arabia, which will be an international yachting hub with berthing for 400 vessels, and the 2.5 kilometre La Croisette boulevard which skirts the marina and will be a centreplace destination for diners and shoppers.

“These will be among the most fashionable tower apartments in the Arabian [Persian] Gulf and certainly the region’s most glamorous address,” said Bashkiroff.

The towers contain upscale apartments, luxury penthouses and elegant adjacent town homes which will be ready for occupation late 2006/early 2007.

The range of one, two, three and four-bedroomed luxury apartments, most with sweeping sea or picturesque views, come in six architectural styles – Monaco, Tuscan, Provencal, Florentine, Catalan and Andalusian.

“Each of the island’s 10 districts is themed to reflect a Mediterranean lifestyle in the heart of the Gulf,” said Bashkiroff.

In all, some 30 towers will surround Porto Arabia, which will also have 60,000 square metres of upscale retail and restaurants.

“It will be a true leisure destination, the lively hub of The Pearl-Qatar, with homes for those who aspire to a Mediterranean lifestyle in a unique setting,” added Bashkiroff.
