Barwa Financial District is developed by the Barwa Real Estate, the largest semi-public property group in Qatar.
The contract includes the construction of nine 18- to 52-storey office towers, a five star hotel, a shopping centre, a mosque as well as parking facilities and utilities. Construction time for the project will be around three and a half years.
“This fast track project will involve 6000 people at peak times and considerable plant resources, notably 17 tower cranes,” says a statement from Bouygues.
“The work will also take place in a particularly challenging environment due to the cramped site.”Bouygues will carry out the works in collaboration with two Qatari companies – Midmac Contracting Company and Al Jaber Engineering.
