barwa city

Background

The new district of Barwa City is located just outside the heart of Doha, and comprises 128 apartment buildings with 6,000 apartments, and 1,024 studio units. The vision of Barwa City is to provide 25,000 families with a self-contained ‘city’ that includes schools, hospitals, mosques, parks, shopping complexes, education institutes, health facilities and all the required amenities. This large residential project is spread over 2.7 million square meters and has an estimated project value of QR

4.8 billion.

Scope

This flagship building project in Doha, Barwa City was completed in two phases – residential and then commercial. RAK Ceramics already had a proven track record of supplying high quality tiling solutions to other large building projects throughout the GCC region and was therefore selected by Bilfinger Berger Construction as the preferred supplier. Using a wide range of Gres Porcellanato and Ceramics, particularly chosen for their suitability in such a modern urban design, through our trade partners Nabina Ceramics, Doha we supplied the largest quantity of tiles ever for a single project in the Middle East.

Results

As the largest project ever undertaken by RAK Ceramics, requiring the highest quantity of tiles for a single project, Barwa City adds itself to the growing list of successes for RAK Ceramics.
