MSHEIREB Properties has appointed Interface Engineering and Green Building Services as site-wide Leed (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) consultant for its signature project Msheireb (formerly Dohaland) in downtown Doha.

The world’s first sustainable downtown regeneration project, Msheireb uses an original Qatari architectural language and aims to achieve one of the highest concentrations of Leed-certified buildings in the world. 

More than 100 buildings within the Msheireb project will aim for an average Leed Gold rating, with several buildings targeting Leed Platinum. The masterplan of the entire mixed-use site will be certified as a sustainable community.

The Msheireb project will transform a 31-hectare site at the centre of Qatar’s capital city, recreating a way of living that is rooted in Qatari culture, attracting residents back to the city centre.

Interface Global and Green Building Services has been appointed to develop a site-wide framework and to implement individual building strategies with architects for all buildings to achieve Leed certification.
