United Development Company (UDC), a leading Qatari public shareholding company and the master developer of The Pearl-Qatar, yesterday signed an agreement with Q-Post, to operate mail service for UDC-owned residential towers at The Pearl-Qatar.

The five-year renewable agreement was signed by Ebrahim al-Mubarak al-Sulaiti, chief executive officer, UDC, and Abdul Rahman bin Ali al-Aqaily, acting chairman, Q-Post.

As per the agreement, Q-Post will install individual post boxes in properties at The Pearl-Qatar including towers, townhouses and villas, so that residents can send and receive local mail and parcels within the Island and all around Qatar. This is the first time that such a service is being made available to a private residential development in Qatar.

Under the terms of the agreement, Q-Post will handle all incoming and outgoing mail traffic to and from residential and commercial units at The Pearl-Qatar on a daily basis, ensuring a speedy and secure delivery to the recipients’ post box numbers.

A special mail distribution vehicle will be used to pick up and deliver mailing material on a daily basis including letters, invoices, postcards, prints, small packages and bank statements.

“This agreement highlights UDC’s efforts to upgrade the level of exclusive services at the Pearl-Qatar, enabling the island’s residents and retailers to access postal services easily and conveniently,” al-Sulaiti said.

The UDC CEO said that the signing of the agreement shows the company’s commitment to introducing quality services on the island, which in turn promotes The Pearl-Qatar’s five-star branded lifestyle.

Abdul Rahman bin Ali al-Aqaily said: “Our partnership with a high-calibre establishment such as UDC and a community of the magnitude of The Pearl-Qatar considered to be at present the largest urban development project in Qatar, will indeed bring many benefits to all parties. But most importantly, it will add value to the Island’s residents and visitors. To this end, Q-Post is keen on providing the finest and most elaborate mix of services at The Pearl-Qatar.”

Al-Aqaily added that Q-Post is looking forward to expanding the scope and scale of its co-operation with UDC in the near future to provide a full spectrum of postal services at The Pearl-Qatar through the opening of a full-fledged Q-Post office on the Island.
