by  — 9 March 2015

Katara Plaza will also offer recreational experiences including concerts and fashion shows, in line with culture and entertainment ethos of Katara. The plaza’s children's mall will display innovative architectural design of two huge big gifts wrapped in red and gold. The project will also offer a complementary and integrated experience, rich and vibrant, beginning with its landscapes and sandstone buildings, and ending up with its interlocking passages, arches and walkways.

Qatar’s Ali Bin Ali Group has unveiled its plans to build the Katara Plaza project at Katara, which is scheduled to open doors next year. With its construction underway on an area of more than 38,000 square metres, Katara Plaza will feature Galeries Lafayette – a French department store known for its collection of fashion, luxury goods, accessories, perfumes, cosmetics, leisure, gastronomy and home interiors. Work on Galeries Lafayette has already commenced with architect Bruno Moinard taking on the design and creation of the store. Another key tenant in Katara Plaza is the French natural mineral water brand Evian that will welcome its exclusive Evian Spa, promising “a unique Alpine experience”.

Katara Plaza project, which is one of the planned projects included in an agreement jointly inked by Ali Bin Ali Group with Katara, will provide a unique and distinct experience as it blends a classical architectural experience with traditional heritage, reflecting the vision and objectives of the Cultural Village Foundation.
