Overview

Welcome to Destination Qatar, a new frontier in the investment landscape and exploration into the emerging real estate market of Qatar.

Stepping into the global spotlight as the proud host of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Qatar invested over US$300 billion into its modern vision, transforming itself with state-of-the-art transport infrastructure, luxurious hotels, impressive office towers, thriving neighbourhood, an exceptional metro system, and a world-class international airport, all supported by one of the world's top-rated airlines.

Qatar's Rise to Prominence

Through significant investment in modern infrastructure, Qatar has become a leading commercial hub in the Gulf region. With a GDP per capita topping an impressive US$69,000, it's evident that Qatar has truly arrived on the global stage.

The residential sector has emerged as a major beneficiary from the influx of expatriate workers and the hosting of the World Cup, leading to a boom in the residential leasing market and an upsurge in rents. The change in home ownership rules in 2019 allowing international buyers to purchase real estate in Qatar has bolstered the growth of residential capital values.
