Al Khaliji Commercial Bank (al khaliji) has shifted its headquarters to Lusail, Qatar’s city of the future. The move comes under al khaliji’s ambitious plans to have its central operations at the heart of Qatar’s vision for a sustainable, interconnected and smart future.
Al khaliji Chairman Sheikh Hamad bin Faisal bin Thani al Thani, said, “The future of our customers and our nation forms the driving force behind our evolution and investments. Today, this force is leading our centre of excellence to the next chapter in our nation’s legacy: Lusail, the beacon of our Qatar’s sustainable development and multi-cultural fabric.”
He said it was not too ambitious to say that Lusail would play a central role in transforming Qatar’s economic landscape under the Qatar National Vision 2030.
“As our role in this visionary transformation evolves, we are confident in that this move will unlock limitless growth for al khaliji’s next-generation promise in Qatar. We are excited to unfold the opportunities that it will bring for our group, our operations and our partners as our nation gears up for 2022 and beyond,” he added.
Al khaliji Group GCEO Fahad al Khalifa said, “Our journey begins and evolves with our commitment to serve our current and future customers wherever they are, and to always deliver on our uncompromising product and service excellence. We continue to ramp up our operations, scale up our infrastructure and build up our human and technological capital to meet and exceed the evolving needs of our customers, the ambitions of our shareholders and the rapid progress of our market; nowhere more evidently than in this landmark move to the centre of Qatar’s sustainable, tech-powered city of the future.”
Lusail will not only draw in droves of SMEs, visitors and residents, but will also create a wealth of jobs in the real estate, hospitality, tourism and entertainment sectors, among others, he said.
“For us, this makeup translates into ample opportunity for our group’s portfolio diversification and customer base growth.”
The new al khaliji Tower headquarters is located at 69 Al Add Al Sharqi Street in Lusail. Al khaliji is among the first banks to be shifting its headquarters to Lusail, with many governmental and private sector entities planning to follow suit.
The vision for Lusail city was first conceived in 2005 and is today one of Qatar’s largest undertakings. The smart, green sustainable city stretches across more than 38 square kilometres in one of the country’s most vital locations. Lusail city is expected to be home to a population of over 450,000 – 200,000 residents and more than 80,000 visitors –in four exclusive islands, and 19 residential, mixed-use districts.
