Dubai-based Mourjan Marinas IGY has been chosen to design, build and manage all marinas in Lusail City, a new leisure marine development in Qatar. 

Situated on the coast just north of Doha, Lusail City is spread over 35sq km and will eventually be home to around 200,000 people. Mourjan was awarded the contract by Lusail Real Estate Development Company to take over every aspect of the maritime work — from marina master planning and design, to building, owning and managing the full marina portfolio, which is expected to hold more than 1,500 berths.

The phased development of the marina districts is expected to stretch over the next five years, says Mourjan. The first phase, which is estimated to be operational in January 2011, will include significant upland development such as waterfront dining outlets and a host of retail establishments. Following phases of the project will include yacht clubs and shipyards. The new marinas will introduce the yachting lifestyle to the local Qatari community as well as attract the regional and international yacht owners to visit and enjoy this exciting new development
