In our rapidly evolving world, the concept of "redefining living standards” holds more significance than ever before. Real estate development is not just about constructing buildings; it's about reshaping and redefining how we live, work, and interact within our communities. It has the power to elevate living standards, enhance well-being, and contribute to a brighter future for all. Qetaifan Island North (QIN), a key element of Lusail’s expansion project, has a comprehensive master plan development centered around a state-of-the-art Waterpark with leisure attractions, a luxurious hotel, unrivaled accommodation, and world-class facilities that make it a modern, globally competitive community with a unique design inspired by the region's rich culture and nature. A Vision of Quality Living Qetaifan Projects' overarching objective of its master plan is to create a vibrant community where residents and visitors benefit from the latest advances in sustainable design and construction applied to buildings, infrastructure, and the public realm, making it a public destination with world-class hospitality and entertainment zones. A tailored environment for all its residents and visitors. It will become a global-scale public attraction all in one location, the regional hub for Rixos Premium Qetaifan Island North Doha Hotel and Azure Beach Club with the key features of Meryal, a world-class water park attraction, to its diversified waterfronts, distinct neighborhoods, Trove West & Trove East (retail and F&B) plazas, pedestrian and bicycle-friendly streets, the Majra Alsail living gardens, and sustainable and intelligent infrastructure. This thriving waterfront hub represents a thrilling new way of life and a symbol of vision, insight, and aspiration to develop into an internationally recognised landmark location and Qatar’s future iconic destination. Innovative Design and Sustainability In support of Qatar’s ambitions for Sustainable Development are presented in the Qatar National Vision (QNV) 2030, which outlines the long-term goals of ‘transforming Qatar into an advanced country by 2030, capable of sustaining its development and providing for a high standard of living for all of its people, for generations to come’. QIN was designed as a globally competitive community based on the nation's vision of four pillars of sustainability: human, social, economic, and environmental development with a unique master plan design that received a 2-star GSAS certification inspired by the rich culture and nature of the region. The residential development in QIN aims to create a highly marketable and valuable community that seamlessly blends the unique cultural traditions of Qatar with a contemporary urban aesthetic. The visual identity of the island is truly one-of-a-kind, featuring bold architectural designs and lush green spaces that captivate the senses. At the heart of the island is a linear park called Majra Alsail that has been thoughtfully designed to be safe and attractive for both pedestrians and cyclists, encouraging active transportation and healthy lifestyles. Residents and visitors alike will be able to enjoy a wealth of amenities and experiences that cater to their physical, mental, and spiritual well-being - from facilities to immersive entertainment and adventure activities. The transportation strategy for the island prioritizes permeability and connectivity, making it easy and convenient for people to move around on foot or by bicycle, further promoting an active, environmentally conscious community. Careful consideration has also been given to mitigating the local climate through sustainable design and infrastructure, ensuring comfort and energy efficiency year-round. With its unparalleled blend of cultural heritage, contemporary urban design, and wellness-focused amenities, this island development is poised to become a highly desirable residential destination that offers an exceptional quality of life. Community-Centric Developments QIN was designed to offer a rich and varied experience for both residents and visitors, with three (3) major zones; the Attraction, Residential & Town Center that are seamlessly connected through an extensive network of green and water-based recreational corridors of Majra Alsail. Leisure and entertainment components define the core of the attraction zone with Meryal Waterpark as the primary entertainment destination on the island, adjoining it is Rixos Premium Hotel which offers an ultimate multi-inclusive vacation destination, and Azure Beach Doha is an all-day lifestyle destination with extensive fun facilities including a private beach, pools, dining options, private cabanas and many more. The town center is the heart of the community, anchored by a unique Mosque Twenty-Seven, an upcoming state-of-the-art K-12 school, and a comprehensive medical center. A vibrant hub is surrounded by retail and dining options at the Trove West and Trove East zones, the retail and dining destinations will provide a diverse range of indoor and outdoor experiences, all of which are readily accessible within a 10-minute walk for the majority of the residential areas. Beyond the town center, each of the island's distinct residential precincts features its neighborhood park, retail offerings, and F&B establishments, forming an integral part of the community's leisure and entertainment fabric. Across the island, from the lively South Marina Promenade. A series of smaller neighborhood and convenience retail hubs are strategically placed throughout the residential areas, ensuring that daily needs and amenities are never more than a short walk away, especially in the high-density South and West waterfront apartment clusters. Preserving Cultural Heritage Qatar's deep and abiding connection to the sea is woven throughout the country's landscape and cultural identity. The nation's expansive coastline, pristine beaches, and vibrant inland waterways are truly unique assets that have profoundly shaped both the natural and built environments. The marine life thriving in Qatar's waters is remarkably rich and bountiful, providing nourishment and sustenance to the Qatari people for generations. This profound relationship with the sea is a central theme that permeates the overall design and aesthetic of the country, from public spaces to private developments. The undulating forms, flowing lines, and organic patterns found in the landscape architecture and urban design are all direct references to the natural marine world - from the rhythmic crashing of waves to the graceful movements of aquatic creatures. Even the intricate mashrabiyah latticework, a traditional Qatari architectural element, evokes the dappled, filtered light. In mangrove forests and other coastal ecosystems thoroughly integrating these marine-inspired motifs, Qatar has crafted a built environment that seamlessly celebrates its cultural heritage and deep ties to the surrounding waters. This purposeful fusion of nature and tradition results in a truly distinctive aesthetic that is unmistakably Qatari in character. Economic Growth and Job Creation The development of QIN has been a contributor to economic growth and job creation in Qatar. Beyond the direct employment opportunities it provides, this major infrastructure project has had a far-reaching, catalytic impact on the local economy. During the construction phase alone, the project has supported thousands of jobs - not only with the four (4) main contractor companies overseeing the build but also the 20+ subcontractor firms of around 100+ workers each and suppliers that have been brought on to handle various specialized aspects of the build. This influx of construction jobs and spending has had a powerful ripple effect, stimulating local businesses and services that cater to the needs of these workers. Restaurants, retailers, housing providers, and a host of other enterprises have all benefited from the surge in economic activity. Now that the assets at QIN are open it continues to be a major source of long-term, stable employment, with positions required for the ongoing operations and maintenance of Rixos Premium QIN Hotel, the Meryal Waterpark and Azure Beach Club already employed approximately 1,123 staff. This economic foundation helps elevate living standards in the surrounding communities, providing residents with greater job security, income, and opportunities to support local shops, entertainment, and community resources. Overall, the development of QIN has been transformative, serving as a key catalyst for widespread economic growth and improved quality of life that will be felt for years to come. Sustainable Future "Qetaifan Island North" represents a bold and visionary approach to real estate development, one that goes far beyond the mere construction of buildings and instead seeks to redefine the very essence of modern living. At its core, this ambitious project is a testament to the power of thoughtful, sustainable planning and a steadfast commitment to elevating the human experience This holistic approach to urban planning is a clear departure from the conventional real estate model, one that recognizes the fundamental human need for a deeper connection to our surroundings and too one another. Qetaifan Island North, then, is not just a development project, but a bold vision for the future – a promise of a brighter, more comfortable, and more connected way of life that will undoubtedly redefine the very meaning of "home and leisure" for generations to come.
