1. The Pearl Qatar

The Pearl Qatar is a multibillion dollar manmade island project spanning 985 acres (400 hectares) of reclaimed land. The development is the country's first international urban development venture, its largest urban development and the first to offer freehold ownership to foreign nationals.

The Pearl Qatar is a 13-island mixed-use development comprising 10 themed districts to be developed over five years housing beachfront villas, single-family homes, luxury apartments, exclusive penthouses, 5-star hotels, marinas, schools and retail and restaurant offerings.

Once completed The Pearl will create over 32 kilometers of new coastline, for use as a residential estate with an expected 15,000 dwellings by 2010. The name "The Pearl" was chosen because the island will be built on one of Qatar's historical pearl diving sites.

One of UDC's primary objectives is to incorporate a diversity of living environments-from high-end luxurious villa living with private sandy beaches to fashionable apartment-style accommodation with ocean views.
