As Qetaifan Projects celebrates its three-year anniversary, the company fully owned by Katara Hospitality and the exclusive real estate developer of Qetaifan Island North, it has been witnessing rapid development and progress. It is worth noting that despite the pandemic, Qetaifan Projects succeeded in adapting to difficulties and transforming challenges into opportunities last year. Neither did Qetaifan Island North deviate from its schedule nor witness any delays in its operations. Instead, Qetaifan Projects formed a committee headed by His Excellency Sheikh Nasser bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani, Managing Director of Qetaifan Projects, to manage the crisis and overcome it without affecting the company’s operation, with more than 6000 workers working round the clock on-site under the supervision of five main contractors.
His Excellency Sheikh Nasser bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani, Managing Director of Qetaifan Projects said, “Reaching the summit is difficult, but maintaining it is much more difficult. This requires everyone to not only work as one team, but more than that, to work on establishing the team spirit as a principle and consider it as a starting point for understanding strengths and investing in them in the correct and timely manner, identifying weaknesses to avoid them, exploiting strengths to minimise the impact of weaknesses, and working in harmony and unity, each in his specialisation as ‘one body’ in the face of the crisis.”
It is worth mentioning that Qetaifan Projects concluded several global partnerships during 2020 and was awarded a range of international awards including ‘The Best Real Estate Development Company in Qatar 2020’ awarded by Global Business Outlook. In this context, His Excellency Sheikh Nasser bin Abdul Rahman Al-Thani said, “I believe our efforts have paid off by obtaining this award. Qetaifan Projects looks for more than just development, the company offers a win-win situation to all its stakeholders, establishing trust and transparency. Qetaifan Island North is a well-thought project that would serve the nation & fulfil the needs of the end-user beyond 2022. It is a development that intertwined luxury with entertainment, striking the balance between living & playing. This project faced all the foreseen & unforeseen challenges possible from tight deadline, resources & budget, topped with blockade & the Covid-19 pandemic. It is a victory well deserved, and we are happy to be recognised by Global Business Outlook.”
