Msheireb Properties partners with Cundall to decarbonise its entire portfolio
Sustainability Msheireb Properties partners with Cundall to decarbonise its entire portfolio By Each building has been assessed against Cundall's Seven Steps to Net Zero Carbon, with detailed action plans developed to reduce operational energy consumption Qatar-based developer Msheireb Properties has partnered with global multi-disciplinary consultancy Cundall to decarbonise its entire portfolio in Msheireb Downtown Doha. The initiative is said to be the first of its kind at this scale in Qatar, reinforcing Msheireb Properties position in sustainable urban development and supports the goals set out in the Qatar National Vision 2030. As part of the project, Cundall said that it conducted a detailed carbon footprint analysis across the full asset portfolio which includes over 100 buildings, 800+ residential units, and 300+ retail spaces. The decarbonisation strategy targets emissions reductions across all three GHG Protocol carbon accounting scopes (1, 2 and 3) and aligns with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a globally recognised benchmark for decarbonisation. 'This is more than a sustainability initiative – it's a pivotal step in redefining the future of urban living in Qatar,' said Fatima Mohamed Fawzy, Senior Manager – Education & Sustainability, Doha Design District, Msheireb Properties. 'By embedding science-based decarbonisation across our entire portfolio, we are not only setting a bold new benchmark for climate leadership in the region, but also demonstrating what is possible when innovation, transparency, and collaboration come together. This milestone reflects our long-term commitment to driving measurable climate action in the built environment and highlights the impact of working with forward-thinking partners like Cundall.' Gary Dodds, Partner and Country Director, Qatar added, 'We are proud to support Msheireb Properties on this pioneering journey. This is not just about upgrading buildings, it's about reshaping what sustainable development looks like in Qatar. By taking a portfolio-wide view, we're helping deliver meaningful change that aligns with both local goals and global expectations.' Mario Saab, Director of Sustainability MENA commented, 'By taking a data-led, science-aligned approach to portfolio decarbonisation, Msheireb Properties is setting a new standard for sustainable development in the region – one that others can learn from and follow.' Carbon accounting marks the first step in Msheireb Properties decarbonisation roadmap, that accounts for direct building and indirect emissions. Each building has been assessed against Cundall's Seven Steps to Net Zero Carbon, with detailed action plans developed to reduce operational energy consumption through priority upgrades to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems, Cundall explained. Comprehensive energy audits were conducted across all building typologies to evaluate current performance and identify high-impact, cost-effective energy-saving opportunities. The wider decarbonisation plan also addresses elements such as sustainable procurement, supply chain engagement, waste management, and policy enhancement. Each asset received a performance rating and had measures identified as part of their tailored pathway to Net Zero carbon. As part of its leadership in carbon transparency, Msheireb Properties will now be able to provide granular emissions data to tenants – supporting their own decarbonisation goals and enabling alignment with international sustainability frameworks.

Doha emerges as 5th most tax-friendly city in world
Doha: Doha has emerged as one of the world's most tax-friendly cities, according to the 2025 Tax-Friendly Cities Index by Multipolitan. Multipolitan is a product-driven global migration platform that streamlines the process of travelling, relocating, setting up businesses and managing assets. This inaugural index, which forms part of Multipolitan's Wealth Report 2025: The Taxed Generation, places Doha as the fifth most tax-friendly city in the world among the top global destinations for high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), professionals, and businesses seeking low-tax environments. This ranking highlights Doha's strategic economic initiatives, strong infrastructure, and stable governance, reinforcing its position as a hub for wealth preservation and opportunities in a swiftly changing financial environment. The index is, however, significant not only for the ultra-wealthy but also for professionals and entrepreneurs seeking to safeguard and expand their assets in a secure setting. The Tax Friendly Cities Index 2025 evaluated 164 jurisdictions based on a composite of statutory taxation metrics (personal income tax, capital gains, inheritance, and wealth tax), bilateral tax treaty coverage and governance indicators. Qatar's zero personal income tax, negligible property-related fees, and transparent legal frameworks, which offer certainty for investors and residents, propel Doha's high ranking. Unlike traditional tax havens, Doha combines fiscal advantages with a sophisticated economy and modern infrastructure. In addition to Qatar, three other cities within the GCC—Abu Dhabi (#1), Dubai (#2), and Manama (#4)—are included in the top five rankings. Singapore (#3) also appears on this prestigious list, benefiting from advantageous tax policies and a strong dedication to improving institutional depth and international connectivity. The GCC is home to seven of the top 20 tax-friendly cities, which include Kuwait City (#8), Riyadh (#12), and Muscat (#17). This highlights the region's increasing significance as a vital facilitator of wealth preservation. 'In a world where wealth mobility has become increasingly fluid, taxation remains one of the most powerful levers influencing where high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) and ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs) choose to live, invest, and preserve their wealth,' said Head of Insights at Multipolitan Gabrielle Reid. 'Recognising this complex and rapidly evolving landscape, Multipolitan has developed the Tax Friendly Cities Index 2025, a data-driven tool that identifies global metropolitan centres fostering favourable tax environments. This index serves as a valuable resource for families, advisors, and institutions navigating the complexities of wealth preservation,' she added. Qatar's economic strength has long positioned it among the world's richest nations. Data from the World Bank and International Monetary Fund highlight Qatar's GDP per capita as one of the highest globally, consistently ranking in the top ten. The Wealth Report 2025 emphasizes Qatar's diversification efforts under the Qatar National Vision 2030, which aims to transition from a hydrocarbon-based economy to a knowledge-driven one. Investments in education, technology, and infrastructure have bolstered Doha's appeal. © Dar Al Sharq Press, Printing and Distribution. All Rights Reserved. Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc. (
