Cityscape Qatar 2025, a major event in the Gulf region's property sector, yesterday got off to a glittering start at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre (DECC), bringing together more than 70 leading developers.
This year's edition, inaugurated by HE the Minister of Municipality Abdullah bin Hamad bin Abdullah al-Attiya in the presence of Majed bin Abdullah al-Hogail and Khalid bin Ahmad al-Obaidli, president of the Real Estate Regulatory Authority - Aqarat, is expected to see more than QR400mn in transactions.
The 13th edition also saw unveiling of the ‘Cityscape Real Estate Investor Programme 2025’, a gateway connecting VIP and high-net-worth investors directly with Qatar's top-tier developers and government decision-makers. It is supported by Visit Qatar.
As many as 13 investors, representing nine countries and a combined $2.5bn in assets under management, will gain curated access to deal flows and new investment horizons.
The three-day Cityscape Qatar is being held in conjunction with the third Qatar Real Estate Forum (QREF).
HE the Minister of Municipality led the ribbon-cutting ceremony, followed by a tour of the exhibition as they explored key exhibitors and learned about Qatar's latest development projects and real estate offerings.
Cityscape Qatar features an extensive exhibition floor, showcasing a diverse range of residential, commercial, and hospitality projects from both local and international developers.
The government Pavilion showcased the strength of Qatar’s real estate sector and the diverse range of investment opportunities available. One of the most transformative initiatives has been Qatar’s groundbreaking property ownership reforms, which grant non-Qataris the eligibility to own property and invest in the real estate sector.
These initiatives offer an array of benefits, such as permanent residency and the ability to invest in selected commercial activities.
Leading financial institutions in Qatar had their stalls, outlining the attractive mortgage loans with competitive rates and flexible terms, further enhancing the appeal to investors and homebuyers. The growing diversity of property offerings, coupled with the country’s high quality of life, makes Qatar an ideal destination for real estate investments.
Qatar had seen a robust 114% year-on-year increase in residential transactions in the second quarter (Q2), indicating growing confidence among investors on resilient performance across the country’s real estate sector, according to Knight Frank, a global property consultancy.
The event allows visitors the chance to explore innovative architectural designs, discover lucrative investment opportunities, and gain valuable insights into the market's future trajectory.
