The “Katara Plaza” is Doha’s new luxury commercial hub. Located in the central area of the Katara site, which extends for more than 2 million square meters between the business center of West Bay and the new luxury residential district The Pearl, north of Doha. The mall is in fact part of a vast real estate project launched in 2010, which includes an immense “cultural village” built in recent years, with mosques, an open-air amphitheater, an Italian-style opera house, a theater dramatic art, a concert hall. The Katara plaza bets on technological and architectural innovation. Gonzato Contract for this work of architecture in Victorian style has supplied all the external curtain systems, the parapets and all the external planters.
