\nQatar\u2019s Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC), the government body responsible for delivering the country\u2019s Fifa 2022 World Cup campaign, is to create a new waterfront district around its seventh proposed stadium in Ras Abu Aboud.The 40,000-seat venue will be on a 450,000-square metre site and includes 6,000-car parking spaces during the tournament, which will be reduced to 2,000 spaces afterwards. The stadium will be used for tournament group games and the quarter finals.
\nIt is being designed by Populous -a specialist in sports stadium and arena design that created London\u2019s 2012 Olympic Stadium and Arsenal FC\u2019s Emirates Stadium. Project management company Time Qatar \u2014 part of US-based Turner Construction \u2014 is overseeing the project. SC said the stadium is one of the first to be created with a \u2018design for legacy\u2019 concept with an ability for it to become part of a larger mixed-use neighbourhood as the tournament completes.
\nCompetition venues executive director Ghanim Al Kuwari said that the stadium, which will be visible from West Bay, will play an important role in the development of Doha\u2019s skyline and waterfront. He said: \u201cWith this project we want to achieve a successful conversion from a sports venue into an appealing non-sport legacy concept.\u201dChristopher Lee, senior principal at Populous, said: \u201cThe design for the venue at Ras Abu Aboud is going to be a game-changer. We are creating a whole new neighbourhood in a fantastic waterfront location overlooking West Bay and, at the same time, an incredible world-class stadium for 40,000 fans.\u201d
\nLast month, Qatar\u2019s finance minister Ali Shareef Al Emadi set a budget of 202.5 billion Qatari riyals (Dh204.3bn) for 2016, which was 7 per cent lower than the 218.4bn riyals set in 2015. In a statement issued via the official Qatar News Agency, he said that it planned to make efficiencies to plug the shortfall, especially in the running costs of government departments. He added that the budget had been created to ensure spending on government projects that are being implemented ahead of the 2022 World Cup would continue. The total cost of government projects underway is 261bn riyals, with 24bn riyals earmarked for the delivery of sports infrastructure, including the World Cup stadiums.
\nAccording to a study by building consultancy Arcadis, Doha is the most expensive market for construction in the Middle East. It is also the 12th most expensive market in which to build in the world.mfahy@thenational.aeFollow The National\u2019s Business section on Twitter
