In the second quarter of 2026, Qatar's commercial office sector saw a clear distinction between high-end and lower-tier properties, with Lusail leading growth at 4.5% year-on-year. In contrast, secondary markets like Al Sadd and Bin Mahmoud saw a 1.7% drop. A total of 4,650 square metres of new office space was added, raising the country's GLA to 7.6 million.
Prime office properties in Doha saw a 1.6% rental increase, while Grade B rents declined by 2.1% quarter-on-quarter. The ValuStrat Office Rental Index fell to 96.2 points, indicating overall softness in commercial leasing. Despite this, asset quality played a significant role in determining performance across submarkets.
