“In the first nine months of 2021, UDC achieved a sustainable performance by balancing development activities across The Pearl-Qatar and Gewan Island with a continued focus on sales and leasing activities. This strategy, coupled with our rich portfolio of projects, has enabled UDC to sustain a diversified revenue stream," said Turki bin Mohamed al-Khater, UDC chairman.
UDC has consistently offered premium experiences and lifestyle opportunities across market segments; and its properties continue to be highly sought-after by local and foreign investors, who contribute in UDC maintaining a sustainable financial performance, he said.
“Looking ahead to the remainder of the year, UDC will continue building on its success in real estate developments at The Pearl-Qatar and Gewan Island, which are aligned with established plans and timetables and which reflect our commitment to preserving shareholders’ and investors’ values,” al-Khater said.
Ibrahim Jassim al-Othman, UDC president and chief executive and member of The board, said the third-quarter results are in line with UDC’s strategy to focus on delivering projects that are currently under development and as per the target completion schedules.
"UDC is also maintaining demand as its unique properties continue to attract local demand and draw greater interest from international investors looking to settle in the Qatar amid the positive economic prospects in the medium and long term, and the incentives provided by the freehold ownership law for residents and foreigners," he said.
In the third quarter, UDC launched ‘Giardino Gardens’, The Pearl-Qatar’s first villa compound for residential leasing, as a unique offering that demonstrates UDC’s commitment to diversifying its property portfolio.
In the same neighbourhood, UDC continues to develop United School International and Giardino Mall for an enhanced sense of community.

In Porto Arabia, Corinthia Yacht Club is under progress offering The Pearl-Qatar residents and visitors the ideal location for casual gatherings and enjoyment as well as a prized addition to the Island’s distinctive facilities and innovative concepts that serve tourism and hospitality.
