United Development Company (UDC), the master developer of The Pearl and Gewan Islands, has confirmed that the works currently taking place at the Perlita Gardens site, located within The Pearl Island, form part of the planned redevelopment process following UDC’s strategic acquisition of the project, which was announced at the end of last year.
The acquisition, valued at QR625mn, reflects UDC’s ongoing strategy to enhance its investment portfolio and support sustainable growth through diversified revenue streams, while further diversifying The Pearl Island’s property offering. Since the beginning of the year, UDC has completed the initial demolition and enabling works at the Perlita Gardens site, paving the way for the next stages of development. The project is being advanced as a premium, low-density residential community that will further diversify The Pearl Island’s residential mix and respond to growing demand for upscale villa living within Doha.
Located in close proximity to Medina Centrale, Perlita Gardens is planned as a gated residential compound comprising approximately 150 Mediterranean-style villas. The development is expected to offer a private, spacious, and refined living environment, while benefiting from The Pearl Island’s established services, retail, hospitality, and lifestyle infrastructure.
In a press statement, Yasser Salah al-Jaidah, UDC president and CEO, said: “The redevelopment of Perlita Gardens is approached with careful planning to ensure that the final offering complements The Pearl Island’s existing urban fabric and responds to demand for premium, compound villa lifestyle. This project will allow us to introduce a new residential product that combines privacy, space, and exclusivity within a fully serviced island destination.”
UDC noted that further details on Perlita Gardens, including the project’s positioning, development progress, and residential offering, will be announced later this year. The company reaffirmed that the current site works are part of the planned redevelopment process and an important step toward bringing forward a high-quality residential community that supports The Pearl Island’s long-term appeal to families, residents, and investors.
