Doha, Qatar – 12 October 2024: United Development Company (UDC), master developer of The Pearl and Gewan Islands, is showcasing its most anticipated project, Crystal Residence, as the centerpiece of its participation in Cityscape. Situated at the heart of Gewan Island, Crystal Residence exemplifies luxury, lifestyle, and sustainability, and stands as one of the most significant additions to UDC's growing portfolio of premium developments.

A New Era of Urban Living

Crystal Residence offers a unique blend of opulence and modern convenience. Designed to cater to the discerning needs of its residents, the development includes a variety of luxurious units ranging from one to three-bedroom apartments and spacious four-bedroom duplexes. The residences boast spectacular sea or city views, with meticulously designed interiors that reflect UDC's commitment to brilliance in every detail.

Each unit is fitted with state-of-the-art appliances, premium materials, and energy-efficient systems that cater to a high standard of living. The rooftops of these low-rise buildings are transformed into luxurious oases, offering exclusive amenities such as swimming pools, gyms, and leisure areas, ensuring residents can enjoy an elevated living experience, surrounded by lush landscapes and beautifully crafted spaces.

Amenities Designed for a Modern Lifestyle

Residents of Crystal Residence will have access to an array of amenities that support both convenience and leisure. From the expansive rooftop pools and state-of-the-art fitness centers to shaded walkways and the climatized commercial district “Crystal Walkway” offering a selection of premium dining and shopping options within walking distance. Additionally, the nearby Corinthia Hotel, Solymar Beach Club, and Gewan Golf Club provide further leisure and hospitality options for residents and visitors alike.

With 15 buildings and a total of 586 residential units, Crystal Residence offers an exclusive family-friendly community designed for comfort, privacy, and a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living. Residents and guests will also benefit from a smart underground parking facility, ensuring convenience and ease of access.

Flexible Financing and Investment Opportunities

One of the key highlights of Crystal Residence is its range of attractive financing plans, which make it easier than ever to invest in one of Qatar’s most prestigious addresses. In addition to competitive in-house financing options as well as mortgage loans through Commercial Bank, buyers of Crystal Residence units are eligible for Qatari residency, along with a range of benefits that make the development a highly attractive investment for both residents and international investors. UDC has already achieved 46% sales of the residential units, underscoring the strong demand for luxury living at Gewan Island.

Sustainability at the Core

UDC continues its leadership in sustainable development with Gewan Island, incorporating eco-friendly technologies and resource conservation practices throughout the island. From energy-efficient LED lighting to smart ventilation systems, sustainability considerations are woven into the very fabric of Crystal Residence.

Crystal Residence’s underground parking, covering an area of 71,000 square meters and with a capacity of 1,442 parking spaces for residents, visitors and retail, is equipped with advanced technology, including CCTV surveillance, intercom systems, and environmentally friendly lighting. The underground parking also includes provision for future electric vehicle charging stations, as part of UDC's vision to promote sustainable living.

In addition to green building design, UDC has prioritized the conservation of the marine environment surrounding Gewan Island. By working closely with Qatar's Ministry of Municipality and Environment, UDC has taken measures to ensure the construction activities protect, and even enhance, the marine ecosystem. This has resulted in new habitats for marine life and a significant increase in biodiversity in the waters around the island.

Progress and Milestones

The development of Crystal Residence has achieved major milestones, with significant construction works now finalized and handover scheduled to begin next month. The island’s infrastructure is fully in place, including operational substations and advanced outdoor cooling systems, ensuring seamless and efficient living for residents. Additionally, all utility services for Gewan Island are fully completed, elevating the overall living experience.

Retail leasing at Crystal Walkway has experienced exceptional demand, with 84% of the retail space already leased. Fit-out works are well underway, setting the stage for the island’s upcoming inauguration.
