Qatar’s real estate market has developed at a remarkable pace in the last 2 decades. Nowadays
tenants enjoy the privilege of having a wide array of choices at hand. With recent rates adjustments
even relocation has become a trend in the residential sector.

If you are looking for a new place to live, you have arrived in the best moment!

Despite the benefits of a vast selection, unfortunately while browsing online for available properties
you may only acquire basic data such as location, size, rate and some Visuals of the property
advertised. Furthermore, While engaging With agents, real estate companies and friends, additional
information is collected and your selection criteria starts to shape up.

Nevertheless, the most important information is not always available unless you specifically ask for
it; this refer to the quality of life in the properties shortlisted. In Doha, tenants expect basics
handouts according to the brand reputation of the Real Estate portfolio, however professional
Facilities & Property Management services are becoming an exclusive commodity of selected
properties only. It is fundamental to enquire the extent of the services you will receive as well as
what is included Within your potential contractual rate. There are several details that Will impact in
your overall stay such as maintenance responsiveness among others.

Similarly, environmental friendly practices and community activities within a property, are not
permanently Visible. If you value this approach and would like your family or company to grow
within this environment, always ask if the property offers it.

For example, aligned with Qatar 2030 Vision, Les Roses compounds have developed a range of
sustainable free trainings and workshops for children including an exclusive Sustainable Animal
Welfare Program to educate them on how to deal with house pets, stray animals, etc. In this
direction, I strongly recommend that potential tenants ask questions such as pets and stray animals
handling methods on the compound. This would really make a difference in fulfilling your
expectations in the future. Whether you are or not an animal lover, you would like to know if TNR
(Trap Neuter and Return) programs are implemented, how often it happens and how it is financed.
The difference on the approach to this subject in the market is immense and obviously as well its
outcome.

Here is where we excel at: Increasing standards of Community Life plus a wide growth for
Sustainable practices. At Les Roses, we pioneered on engineering an exclusive Sports, fitness 81
sustainable activities program that we offer free of charge to our tenants only.

All members of the family are thought of while we tailor each activity. These ranges from
Taekwondo, Zumba, swimming, Lego and other classes.

Moreover we have created our own Les Roses Color Run completion plus a series of tournaments
along the year bringing the community closer. So if you are a sport enthusiast, our Basketball,
Football, Tennis and Squash tournaments are awaiting! As expats, who live away from our home
countries, communities are even more valuable. This atmosphere is where neighbors turn into
friends and a house becomes a home.

This assessment similarly applies to the commercial market. LEED, GSAS certified commercial
properties are available in the market enabling companies that are committed to sustainability to
fulfill the CSR goals. We proudly own the first LEED Gold certified building in Energy City, Lusail
which constituted today a flagship of sustainability in Qatar, maximizing energy efficiency while
reducing negative environmental impact and carbon footprint.

Taking all of the above into accounts, I highly recommend house and office hunters to get ready
with these set of questions while Visiting their pre—selected properties; it may help to take their
ultimate decision based on the real value that fits each individual’s priorities.

Our children of today, are the champions of tomorrow. Let’s build sustainable communities now
that promote healthy living and social responsibility. The future lays in our choices, always ask what
these are.

Taking all of the above into account when deciding where to live or work is highly important.  

Sustainable communities that promote healthy living and champion social responsibility should be a top priority to enjoy the highest quality of life.
