Aamal Company (Aamal), one of the region's largest and most diversified companies, is on Tuesday announced that through its subsidiary, Aamal Real Estate (ARE), it has entered into an agreement to purchase the Golden (Aamal) Tower located in Onaiza, Doha, for a total price of QR478.4 million.
The purchase price was determined based on an independent valuation conducted by Cushman & Wakefield Qatar, an independent valuation firm accredited by the relevant regulatory authorities.
The property is currently owned by Al Jazi Real Estate which is a related party.
The Golden (Aamal) Tower is a prominent mixed-use property with a total of 32 floors comprising 33 commercial office units across 15 floors and 72 residential apartments from floors 16 to 32, with three basement levels providing parking for 341 vehicles. Strategically positioned in the high-demand Onaiza area, the property boasts an 88 percent occupancy rate reflecting its position as a preferred choice among tenants.
The purchase aligns with Aamal's strategic vision to expand its recurring income portfolio. Based on current occupancy levels, the property is expected to generate approximately QR 20 million in annual rental income, with projected growth of 3 percent to 5 percent per annum. The purchase will be fully financed through a bank facility under Aamal Company.
This investment is expected to yield multiple synergies for Aamal, particularly by centralising several group subsidiaries under one roof, reducing third-party rental dependence, and creating long-term cost efficiencies. Moreover, the company anticipates significant capital appreciation, supported by Qatar's strong economy.
On this occasion, Aamal Company CEO Rashid bin Ali Al Mansoori said, 'This purchase reflects our strategy to expand our real estate portfolio with profitable and high-quality assets in terms of location and asset type, which includes a mix of commercial and residential. The Golden (Aamal) Tower is not only a high-quality asset in a prime location, but it also offers long-term value through strong rental returns and operational efficiencies. By consolidating several of our group companies into one property, we are reinforcing our commitment to sustainable growth, cost optimisation, and value creation for our shareholders.'
This purchase underscores Aamal's commitment to enhancing shareholder value through sound, income-generating investments and prudent financial strategy.
