Qatari Diar employees, senior management and HE Kamal at an anniversary function

Qatari Diar Real Estate Investment Company has marked its sixth anniversary with a celebration that brought together all the company employees, senior management, and executive board chairman and Minister of Economy and Finance HE Yousef Hussein Kamal.
In an opening speech, Group chief executive officer Mohamed bin Ali al-Hedfa said: “As we look back at these remarkable six years, I would like to take this opportunity to give due recognition and thanks to the people who have made Qatari Diar what it is today. The region’s most influential real estate company and a major player in the world’s key property markets.”
Emphasising his commitment to keeping the communication channel open with employees, HE Kamal said the company is entering a new and important phase of development.
Simon Cunningham, chief, marketing and sales, subsequently led the formal introduction and launch of Qatari Diar’s new corporate identity “The Art of Real Estate.”
The company’s new positioning reflects its intuitive approach to creating world-class real estate developments that are both commercially and creatively-driven.
HE Kamal later presented awards to long serving employees who have been with Qatari Diar for five years or more.
“I am glad to see our bigger team coming together to celebrate their own achievements over the past six years. Such events allow us to appreciate the hard work our colleagues put into their daily jobs and help us realise how senior management appreciates it all. We are very keen to hold similar events on a regular basis, because they provide a unique opportunity for bringing together the members of Qatari Diar’s family and hence enable us to better perform as a team,” said Khalifa al-Hajri, director, corporate communications.
As Qatari Diar marks its sixth anniversary, the company also celebrated considerable progress being made in its local and international portfolio, including new projects, sales launches and expansion in key markets internationally.
Infrastructure works at Lusail City, the company’s 38sqkm development to the north of Doha, are progressing ahead of schedule. 
Beyond Qatar’s borders, Qatari Diar has recently marked a number of milestones in its projects across Europe and the Middle East, most notably in France, Switzerland, the UK, Tajikistan, Egypt and Sudan. 
Of the company’s signature projects in Europe, the redeveloped Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris reopened its doors in October 2010, while the legendary Hotel Schweizerhof Bern celebrated its reopening in June 2011. 
In the UK, home to a number of Qatari Diar’s most strategic and sophisticated projects, the company has put two of its three residential buildings within the Grosvenor Waterside complex in Belgravia on the market: Bramah House and Caro Point.
Through joint ventures with Delancey and Canary Wharf Group, Qatari Diar is actively involved in legacy projects of London Olympic Village and Shell Centre respectively.
