Khartoum: Qatari Diar Real Estate Investment Company, an international leader in sustainable development, has delivered the first of eight high-end residential towers in its prestigious Mushaireb mixed-use community development, located in the heart of downtown Khartoum.  The delivery of the Al Bidaa building sets a new benchmark for the property market in Khartoum, with the Mushaireb project promising to be one of the city's most distinguished developments.

"The opening of our first building marks an important step in bringing the Mushaireb project to life.  We extend a heartfelt welcome to our first residents as they make their home in Mushaireb, where they will enjoy a sophisticated urban lifestyle in a unique living environment that joins the best of contemporary and Islamic architecture and design with all the luxuries of the modern age,"said Hamad Al Marri, Project Management Office Director-Africa for Qatari Diar.  

"We are very much looking forward to living by the Nile and enjoying this beautiful flat finished to Qatari Diar's standards," said a member of one of the first families to receive keys to their new Mushaireb residence.

The first residential tower in the Mushaireb development, named Al Bidaa building, was delivered to investors in August and includes 49 units. Residents of Al Bidaa have begun moving in to their new homes, where they have access to a range of amenities designed to ensure a comfortable and secure living environment, including private underground parking and fully-integrated safety systems.  The redevelopment of the corniche adjacent to Al Bidaa building is expected to be completed in December this year, as construction on three additional residential towers and the rest of the development's extensive corniche is well underway.

The Mushaireb development stretches over 206,000sqm at the convergence of the Blue and White Nile rivers. A total of 483 residential units and around 6,000sqm of retail space will be available at the development, which expects to welcome around 20,000 residents and visitors upon completion.

Mushaireb incorporates the highest international standards of quality and design.  The master plan has been carefully designed to maximise waterfront views and access, provide open and green public spaces, and allow pedestrians safe and comfortable walking routes.
