This project was aimed to set the precedent for future commercial and mixed-use developments in Doha’s accelerating economy.
North Gate, located on a 200,000m2 plot, is positioned to benefit from development in Doha's strong northern population growth corridor, and represents one of the only commercial developments within the area.
It offers close to 100,000m2 of leasable space for retail and a further 45,000m2 for offices.
Northgate is a landmark commercial, retail and leisure destination with 400 meters of prime frontage to the busy North Road, 10km north of Doha city Centre. The development hosts over two hundred shops, five anchor stores, an eight screen Cineplex, supermarket, family and fine dining and four thousand basement parking spaces. The exterior landscape interlocks with the architecture fusing traditional Arabic detailing and modernist architectural forms, creating an almost exclusively pedestrianized landscape. Animated water features cool the air during the hottest hours of the day and at night bring these vibrant spaces to life.
