KEO International Consultants has been awarded the design contract for Diyar Al Kuwait’s mixed-use development in Lusail, Qatar.
The waterfront project, valued at around US $800 million (QR2.9 billion), will offer 160,000m² of commercial space, 130,000m² of office space and 30,000m² for retail.
A residential area covers a further 87,000m² and comprises 640 apartments as well as 27, four-bedroom townhouses.
Diyar Al Kuwait’s planned schedule for the project is “aggressive but do-able” according to Dherar Al Nisf, project manager at the developer, with work set to begin on site in late 2010.
The conceptual architectural design has been approved and the development is now going into the detailed design phase.
KEO is also providing project management services to the development, which is yet to be named.
When contacted by ConstructionWeekOnline.com, KEO declined to reveal the value of the design contract.
The project is located in the southeastern corner of the Lusail Development’s Marina District, roughly 20km north of the planned Doha International Airport.
