Doha: President of the Public Works Authority (Ashghal) Dr. Eng. Saad bin Ahmed Al Mohannadi has paid an inspection visit to the Qatar Schools Development Project (Package 1) in Rawdat Al Hamama area.
During the visit, the President of Ashghal, accompanied by CEO of Barwa Real Estate Group Abdullah bin Jubara Al Rumaihi, toured the project. He was briefed on the schools’ components and facilities, including outdoor spaces, sports fields and service buildings.
Dr. Al Mohannadi was given a presentation by the project’s officials on the educational facilities of the schools, including the laboratories of science, languages, information technology, and halls of sports, arts, activities, as well as libraries.
A number of officials from Ashghal also participated in the visit.
The Qatar Schools Development Project (Package 1) is a milestone that mirrors Barwa’s level of real estate experience and competitiveness, as the group won the project.
It is the first-ever project to be offered by the State under the public-private partnership (PPP) system.
The project was offered in a public tender in which the majority of local developers as well as other developers from outside Qatar took part. The group managed to get the project during 2020.
The importance of the project is that it adds positive diversification to the real estate portfolio and achieves guaranteed revenue over the 25-year span of the contract.
The Qatar Schools Development Project aims to develop eight public schools in different residential areas within Qatar and to provide them with maintenance services for a period of 25 years.
The completion rate of the project has reached advanced stages. The commissioning of the project is scheduled for the beginning of the 2022-2023 academic year.
