The towers of The Pearl’s Abraj district

The UDC (left) and 121 (right) Towers were strategically positioned to mark the entrance of the artificial archipelago The Pearl to Doha, the capital of Qatar. The 42-storey UDC Tower houses the headquarters of the United Development Company, the developer of the Pearl-Qatar real estate transaction. It is the first of the seven towers in the Abraj district to obtain the “GSAS” Gold certification, a sustainable development label of the Gulf countries that rewards the efforts of construction and operation to minimize carbon emissions and the energy footprint of buildings. The UDC Tower houses offices, a health club, restaurants, an eight-storey car park and benefits from the district’s urban cooling technology, which has led to significant energy savings.
