DOHA: Al Wa'ab City recently embarked on a major facelift of its showrooms and offices along Salwa Road to upgrade the properties to give them a consistent external appearance along the entire parade which incorporates five newly constructed showrooms and office buildings.
The new showroom and office buildings, extending to approximately 16,500 square meters, are currently available for rent. Lining Doha's main commercial artery, Salwa Road, the showrooms and offices will offer to tenants the highest quality of commercial accommodation as well as amenities catering to the various needs of corporations seeking landmark locations to launch their operations in Doha.
Featuring unique, smart capabilities, Al Wa'ab City's showrooms and offices incorporate a range of distinctive, low-rise buildings designed to international specifications. Internally the accommodation has been designed ergonomically to maximise flexibility, facilitating the provision of a range of office sizes.
These high-street style showrooms and office buildings represent the first phase of Al Wa'ab City in a prime location that provides direct access to one of the major arterial routes into the city with the added benefit of secure and ample parking.
The buildings are also located in proximity to the Barahat Al Wa'ab, the main Piazza of Al Wa'ab City, which promises to become the most premium retail, entertainment and lifestyle destination in Qatar.
"The Qatari Government has announced plans for Salwa Road, a prime highway connecting Doha to Saudi Arabia, to be upgraded to increase traffic flow. This, by itself, boosts the commercial and operational value of the area and its surroundings by providing unique opportunities for companies that aspire to be part of Qatar's growing economy. We have enhanced the exterior look of our existing showrooms in line with this plan. Our showrooms and offices are considered top investment options for local, regional and international businesses and add tremendous value to this new image of Salwa road," said Carla Issa, Vice-President of Marketing & Sales of Al Wa'ab City.
"Our Facilities Managers are aligning all their processes in a similar direction with a 10-year contract that will ensure long-term quality sustainability. We have spaces available for rent in what promises to be a great investment opportunity to be part of a destination in the making on various levels.
The facelift of the existing showrooms will be completed by October this year whereas the buildings' construction plans are moving ahead on schedule with 80 percent completion so far," added Issa.
