United Development Company, the master developer of The Pearl and Gewan Islands, highlighted its diverse residential portfolio during Cityscape Qatar 2026, showcasing two distinct residential options that reflect the evolving needs of homeowners and investors: Perlita Gardens, the new villa residential community on The Pearl, and Crystal Residence, the completed residential project on Gewan Island, which provides flexible ownership options and a limited-time promotional offer.
The company’s pavilion (H3.A10) showcases two projects with various options for housing and ownership, as Crystal Residence on Gewan Island provides completed apartments ranging in number from one to four bedrooms, with flexible ownership options. As for the Perlita Gardens project on The Pearl Island, which the company recently launched, it offers a community of villas that combines spaciousness and privacy to meet the needs of family life.
The two projects highlight the diversity of the company’s residential portfolio and its ability to meet the needs of different segments of investors, whether looking for ready-made housing or an investment opportunity, or those wishing to benefit from flexible ownership options or a new property within an existing residential community.
The company’s approach is based on awareness of the increasing role of a destination’s components in determining the value of a residential property, in addition to the characteristics of the unit itself. Location, infrastructure, facilities, ease of access, lifestyle, and continued development of the destination are all key factors on which owners and investors base their decisions.
Mr. Yasser Salah Al Jaidah, CEO of United Development Company, said: “The Cityscape exhibition allows us to closely follow market developments, and showcase the residential options we are developing in response to those developments. What we are offering this year reflects the expansion of our role as a major developer, through a portfolio that brings together diverse projects and residential environments and multiple ownership options that meet the needs of different segments of buyers.”
For his part, Mr. Hussain Akbar Al Baker, Executive Director of Commercial and Real Estate Affairs at United Development Company, said: “Crystal Residences and Perlita Gardens represent two different options within this portfolio, united by one principle, which is to provide residential opportunities within destinations with a clear identity, existing infrastructure, and a long-term development vision. Whether the buyer is considering a completed apartment on Gewan Island or a new villa on Pearl Island, his decision includes the environment, services and experience surrounding the property.”
Perlita Gardens: independent villas
For family life on Pearl Island
In addition to the completed residential options on Gewan Island, the Perlita Gardens project expands United Development Company’s portfolio on The Pearl Island, as it is the most prominent of its anticipated residential additions, after it was officially revealed during the Cityscape Qatar exhibition.
The new residential community will include 150 independent villas distributed over seven models, each with six master bedrooms. Its design takes into account the privacy of families, the needs of extended families, and the requirements of receiving guests, with flexible family spaces that connect the indoor living areas to the outdoor spaces.
The United Development Company has opened the door for registering expressions of interest in the Perlita Gardens project and launched the limited offering for the first phase of sales during the Cityscape exhibition. The offering combines direct financing from the company, according to a flexible payment plan, and real estate financing from Commercial Bank and Dukhan Bank. This offering allows those wishing to own property the opportunity to benefit from the price advantage of off-plan sales, while the residential community development work is expected to be completed over a period of about three years.
The project addresses needs different from those met by Crystal Residence. While the latter allows owning a completed apartment in a destination that is witnessing continuous growth, Perlita Gardens provides an opportunity to own an off-plan villa on The Pearl Island, one of the integrated and well-established residential destinations in Qatar.
Crystal Residence: Completed apartments on the waterfront on Gewan Island
The Crystal Residence project is one of the most prominent projects presented by the company in Cityscape, and it is a completed residential project on Gewan Island that includes apartments with bedrooms ranging from one to four rooms.
The project’s location allows its residents easy access to the Crystal Promenade and the Marine Promenade, in addition to benefiting from growing shopping, dining, entertainment and hospitality options that keep pace with the increasing activity on Gewan Island as a leading marine destination.
With the completion of the project, buyers and investors can inspect the units and evaluate their quality and surroundings before ownership.
The United Development Company has offered two flexible options for owning Crystal Residence units, the first of which allows purchasing with a down payment of 7.7%, and paying the remaining amount in installments over six years without interest, with the possibility of renting the property and generating rental income from the beginning. The second option is a rent-to-own program after seven years, with a joining fee of 2%, with the possibility of subleasing.
Both options allow buyers to own a completed home in a way that suits their financial plans, investment goals, and purpose of using the property.
