Msheireb Properties reflected on a year of unprecedented growth and success, which brought the company significant accolades and achievements in urban development. The past year has been transformative for Msheireb Properties, marked by a steadfast dedication to creating innovative and sustainable communities with people at its core.
While Msheireb Downtown Doha, the flagship development of Msheireb Properties, made impressive strides across multiple fronts over the past year, solidifying its position as a globally recognised model for a human-centric sustainable urban district – the soul of its vision remained rooted in the wellbeing of residents and visitors. It is the emphasis on nurturing diversity, creativity and human connections with care that enabled Msheireb Downtown Doha to emerge as a space where people can truly thrive together.
Robust Growth and Investment Appeal
Msheireb Downtown Doha witnessed increasing demand for its residential, commercial and retail units.
Housing more than 30 leading companies, major international and local brands chose Msheireb Downtown Doha as their base in 2023, including TheArsenale Mobility Lab for transport solutions, TotalEnergies Qatar, MEEZA, and the Aman Clinic - with more to come as Microsoft, Ernst & Young, American Express and the AFC Media Center make the move recognising the Msheireb Downtown Doha community as their smart and sustainable ecosystem of choice.
Cementing Cultural Leadership
Beyond the impressive architecture and technological advancements, what truly sets Msheireb Downtown Doha apart is its commitment to community. The district hosted national celebrations, cultural events and educational workshops in 2023, fostering a sense of belonging within the cultural context of Qatar.
Iconic spaces like the Baraha Msheireb were reimagined into charming open-air experiences – such as the Baraha Movie Nights organised with Doha Film Institute that transported visitors to the golden age of cinema over 50 years ago when films were first screened publicly in the Msheireb area.
Msheireb Museums served as a global platform for dialogue, hosting the first-ever United Nations Local Youth Conference from the U.S. Embassy and Georgetown University in Qatar’s annual Global Energy Cultures Forum. The four heritage houses also provided an engaging space to nurture creative talents and bring Qatar’s history to life for thousands of visitors through educational workshops and exhibitions focused on arts, heritage, and architecture – establishing themselves as a cultural pillar within Qatar.
Partnership with Microsoft to Establish Future Cities
Msheireb Downtown Doha understands that technology serves as a catalyst for sustainable progress. The district is pioneering future city innovations through its newly announced partnership with Microsoft to develop cutting-edge smart solutions leveraging cloud computing, AI, and big data.
With the Microsoft collaboration set to roll out in the coming months, harnessing the power of technology to uplift communities, Msheireb Downtown Doha continues to serve as a living blueprint for the next generation of human-centric urban spaces – garnering international acclaim for its progressive outlook while staying rooted in Qatari cultural values.
Showcasing Innovation in Sustainable Urban Living
Msheireb Properties announced a landmark collaboration with Expo 2023 Doha around showcasing innovations in sustainable urban communities - representing a major milestone aligned with Qatar's National Vision 2030.
The transformative Msheireb Downtown Doha district earned various international honours in 2023, including being named "Most Innovative Company in Design & Architecture" in the Middle East by Fast Company and winning “Best Mixed-Use Development” at the prestigious Asia Property Awards – affirming its global appeal.
Additionally, the project garnered more accolades locally across multiple dimensions including being recognised for "Best Smart Solutions Development" and "Best Cultural Experiences" by Qatar Tourism's leading awards.
Vision for an Enriching 2024 and Beyond
"Driven by the expertise, creativity, and dedication of the Msheireb Properties team – I am confident that 2024 will see us continue setting benchmarks when it comes to smart innovation and sustainability internationally," said Eng. Ali Mohammed Al Kuwari, CEO. "We welcome more partners to join us in experiencing this new model for progressive urban living rooted in Qatari cultural values."
