Construction of Qatar’s ‘greenest’ office building completed

After two years of construction, one of Qatar’s most environmentally-friendly office structures is finally open for business.

In a sign of the changing times, the QR120 million (US$32.95 million) redevelopment is not located in the downtown financial district, but in Bin Mahmoud.

There, an old cafeteria situated amid blocks of villas has been transformed into a new eye-catching office building.

The GATH building – named after its corporate owner, Ghanem Al-Thani Holdings – is located on Salwa Road, across from the Radisson Blu.

The office is part of a string of high-end developments along the road that also includes a nearly complete Westin hotel and apartments at Center Junction, near Megamart.

Speaking to Doha News, Edd Brookes, the general manager of DTZ Qatar, which is marketing the building to tenants, said: “It’s a new gateway to a changing neighborhood. It’s changing the commercial center of an older area of Doha.”
