Doha, Qatar: Msheireb Properties, Qatar’s leading sustainable property developer, has clinched the Commercial Sector Award for its Msheireb Properties Headquarters and the Hospitality Sector Award for the Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-som given by the Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation (Kahramaa) at the Tarsheed Energy and Water Efficiency Forum.

The Tarsheed Awards celebrate achievements in energy conservation and environmental stewardship. They are an integral part of Kahramaa’s National Programme for Conservation and Energy, designed to encourage developers to adopt conservation-focused building practices and implement energy-efficient strategies. Msheireb Properties’ recognition underscores its leadership in sustainable urban development and its mission to create a new standard for environmentally responsible living spaces.

Accepting the Commercial Sector Award for Msheireb Properties Headquarters, Eng. Faisal Al Malki, Chief Operations Officer at Msheireb Properties, said: “We are extremely pleased that our flagship developments, Msheireb Downtown Doha and the Zulal Wellness Resort, are being recognised as models of sustainable urban design. Msheireb Downtown Doha exemplifies our mission to develop sustainable, modern communities that challenge traditional perspectives on urban living and set new benchmarks for eco-friendly urban development in Qatar, while the Zulal Wellness Resort revitalises ancient wellness practices in a serene, sustainably built and maintained environment. This recognition affirms our ongoing dedication to the principles of Qatar National Vision 2030.”

The entire Msheireb Downtown Doha is designed to consume fewer resources, generate less waste, lower costs, and achieve a reduced carbon footprint making it the world’s largest certified sustainable community. All buildings meet the LEED Gold standard for environmental performance, with some buildings securing the highest LEED Platinum rating.

LEED-certified buildings reduce stress on the environment and are more energy and resource-efficient. Being LEED-certified means these buildings generate less waste and lower the use of energy, water, and other resources, in addition to their ability to store and collect recyclables, reduce indoor water use, and implement renewable energy use.
