Qatar-based United Development Company (UDC) has launched a new 400,000-sq-m luxury project, Gewan Island, which will feature residential units, entertainment facilities, retail outlets, restaurants and cafes within a vibrant, modern and integrated community.

The island, which is located adjacent to The Pearl-Qatar, a man-made island developed by UDC in Doha,  will be completed in 2021, said the company.

The Qatari developer recently signed a letter of intent with the country’s major bank QNB to work on providing future financing required for the development of Gewan Island project.

The island boasts a theme park, an air-conditioned outdoor ‘Crystal’ boardwalk, a green park, a waterfront retail esplanade and entertainment facilities.
