About This Company

Our company is a new player in the booming Qatari market positioned for success in the leasing and property management industry. We are a Western-managed company under the ownership of two Qatari investors from major business families, who themselves have lived for many years in the West and are eager to bring a fresh and professional look to the marketplace. We are positioned to take advantage of the current building oversupply by offering property management services to Qatari property owners with empty units, and leasing the units focusing on the Western / professional / white-collar expatriate workforce entering the country. Qatar is currently the world’s richest country per capita, its GDP is growing at an 18% rate, the government has allocated USD $100-Billion in spending until World Cup 2022, and yet the market is underserved in terms of professional service providers focusing on strategic sectors. Our company fills this market gap and we are recruiting a team of energetic, creative, and delivery-oriented professionals to join our growing team.
