Lusail development, Qatar
|
 |
The new land development is located along the shoreline north of Doha.
It will cover an area of about 21 km2 which is about the same size as the entire Midtown and Lower Manhattan in New York.

The project will transform the present shoreline through dredging and reclamation, creating new islands, access channels and beaches. The fully developed new neighbouring will include low and high rise residential housing for about 200,000 inhabitants. Further, the development will include business, corporate and mixed use areas, as well as quality beaches with top class hotels, two golf courses, and an entertainment district.
COWI has from August 2004 to January 2006 completed planning and design activities of the marine and earthworks for Lusail Development as sub-consultant to Bechtel Overseas Corporation. In February 2006, the owner entered a 2½ year contract with the Chinese contractor Sinohydro for construction of the marine works.
