Hill International, a global leader in managing construction risk, said it has won a QR14.6-million ($4 million) contract to provide project management services for the first phase of the Central District development at Al Wa’ab City in Qatar.

One of the largest privately-held real estate projects being developed in the country, Al Wa’ab City is spread over a sprawling 1.25-million-sq-m area. 

The three-year contract will see Hill provide key services at the 400,000-sq-m Central District, which will consist of a 1.4-km walk-through spine with retail, residential buildings concentrated at the eastern and western ends, a commercial building at the southwest corner and a four-star hotel at its centre.
