Service charges in The Pearl-Qatar slashed

United Development Company (UDC) yesterday announced plans to cut Master Community (MC) service charges in The Pearl-Qatar by approximately 33 percent starting from July 1 2012.

MC charges include services such as cleaning of common use facilities, security, landscaping, pest control, maintenance of all mechanical, engineering and plumbing equipment, utilities for all common use properties and waste management. These charges will be re-evaluated every six months by Madinainova, Master Community Managing Agent at The Pearl-Qatar. Part of Madinainova’s role is to deliver the best services for the best possible price.

“The increase of occupancy at The Pearl-Qatar has attracted more suppliers who are now able to provide the same standard and quality of services at lower costs,” UDC’s Chief Executive Officer Ebrahim Mubarak Al-Sulaiti (pictured) said. “The Pearl-Qatar residents are now reaping the cost advantages of UDC’s investment in expanding the scope and quality of services. The substantial cost reduction is a clear indication of the priority UDC places on providing residents with quality services at fair rates.”

Al-Sulaiti further underscored UDC’s relentless dedication to service excellence, through a series of surveys aiming to poll residents’ satisfaction and to build on improving the caliber of services offered. The recently announced partnership with Qtel, enabling residents to enjoy a range of advanced connectivity and entertainment services, is another example of how The Pearl-Qatar is targeting to increase efficiency levels.

UDC has been diligently working to revise the service charges without compromising quality levels. This has become possible now that The Pearl-Qatar is reaching its goal of completing projects like Qanat Quartier and Medina Centrale, which will increase usage levels of common facilities.

Qanat Quartier, the Venetian precinct, has already started welcoming residents since January this year and Medina Centrale, the buzzing town centre, will be ready for occupancy in August 2012, while new people move into Porto Arabia’s and Viva Bahriya’s newly completed properties.

UDC and The Pearl-Qatar have also been awarded “Best Mixed-Use Development” and “Best Residential Project” at this year’s Cityscape-Qatar in recognition of their commitment to innovation, sustainability and service excellence.
