Katara Hospitality is on track with its plans to develop the Katara Towers in Lusail Marina District, Doha, Qatar. The company has issued a tender for the substructure and basement works. The project covers the construction of a mixed use development covering a built-up area of 50,000 sq m, spread over a land area of 90,000 sq m. The arched towers will host a five-star hotel to cater to business travellers, a six-star hotel to meet the needs of those seeking a sophisticated luxury accommodation and branded apartments to become home to permanent residents. The property will make available a total of 614 rooms. State-of-the-art entertainment and recreational facilities, including specialist boutiques, VIP movie theatres, signature restaurants and a private Cigar Lounge are to be complemented by exquisite banqueting and conference spaces, as well as office dedicated areas. The project has been recently enhanced with additional facilities, thanks to plans for a spectacular man-made satellite beach-front island. This will be home to an incredible mix of leisure and water sports facilities, food and beverage outlets as well as world-class water parks within a stunning, sun-protected garden environment. Linked to the iconic towers' promenade by bridges, this spectacular feature will pin this property as a reference landmark within the global hospitality landscape. Kling Consult is the lead design and construction supervision consultant. SCOPE OF WORK
