Doha, Qatar: Knight Frank Middle East has expanded its presence in the Middle East with the opening of a new office in Doha, Qatar.

The new office in the Qatari capital, Doha will provide tailored consultancy advice and transactional services to investors, developers, owners and users of commercial property across key sectors.

With the much-anticipated FIFA World Cup 2022 fast approaching this November, this is an extremely exciting time in Qatar’s history and an exciting time for Knight Frank to enter the Qatari market, with recent huge investment into infrastructure developments in the country and renewed confidence in further strong economic growth for the country over the next decade, due to its government’s spending pledge, as part of Qatar’s 2030 vision.

Knight Frank’s operations in Qatar will be led by Adam Stewart, Partner – Head of Qatar, who has over 15 years of real estate experience.

Having begun his career in the UK, Adam relocated to Qatar in 2014. With a background in valuation and advisory, Adam boasts an expansive client network including government entities, banks, listed companies, private companies and private investors.

Speaking on his appointment, Adam commented: “I am delighted to be joining a real estate business with the global breadth and depth of Knight Frank. Knight Frank’s expansion across the Middle East over the last 13 years shows their commitment to the region and I am thrilled to be part of the team.

“I look forward to combining my local market knowledge with the global expertise of the Knight Frank business to provide Qatar with unrivalled real estate advisory and transactional services across both the residential and commercial sectors of the market”.

Partner and MEA Managing Director James Lewis said “For 13 years Knight Frank has been helping clients across the Middle East through the provision of real estate advisory and transactional services.
