The Lusail downtown area is expected to emerge as a financial district in the near future due to the upcoming relocation projects. The oil and gas sector fuelled the expansion and relocation activity in 2022, which resulted in three office deals over 3,000 square meters that have been confirmed in West Bay and The Pearl Qatar.
In addition, Msheireb Downtown Doha is also gaining traction as a commercial destination. Msheireb Properties has secured several commercial office lettings in the first quarter of 2023 with international companies from the oil and gas and financial services sectors. Additionally, there are upcoming transactions in the pipeline that are expected to be completed during Q2 2023.
