  "account": "United Development Company (UDC), the master developer behind The Pearl and Gewan Islands, reported strong interest in its new residential projects at Cityscape Qatar 2026. The Pearl Island's Perlita Gardens and Gewan Island's Crystal Residence both drew significant attention from prospective homeowners, investors, brokers and industry stakeholders during the three-day exhibition that concluded on October 29.\n\nPerlita Gardens, a fresh residential development on The Pearl Island, consists of 150 standalone villas across seven different typologies. The villas cater to various family and lifestyle needs, including privacy, entertaining, multigenerational living and indoor-outdoor living. UDC officially introduced the project during the exhibition, initiating a limited release of Phase One sales and offering buyers a flexible in-house payment plan along with mortgage financing options via Commercial Bank and Dukhan Bank. Construction of Perlita Gardens is expected to span 36 months from its commencement.\n\nMeanwhile, Crystal Residence, located on Gewan Island, showcases completed one- to four-bedroom apartments. The development is conveniently situated near the Crystal Walkway, seaside promenade, and the island's burgeoning retail, dining, leisure, and hospitality facilities. UDC introduced flexible ownership options for Crystal Residence, featuring a 7.7% down payment followed by interest-free installments over six years. Buyers can also rent out their properties from the start, or choose a seven-year Lease-to-Own programme with a 2% buy-in fee and subleasing capabilities. A limited-time promotional offer on available Crystal Residence apartments during Cityscape Qatar further attracted potential buyers.\n\nUDC President and Chief Executive Officer Yasser Salah Al Jaidah highlighted the exhibition's role in engaging with buyers, investors, and brokers to understand their preferences and evolving needs. He noted the strong turnout and interest from prospective buyers, emphasizing the resilience of real estate as an asset class and its contribution to shaping communities and lifestyles. Al Jaidah also explained that Perlita Gardens and Crystal Residence represent two distinct residential offerings—Perlita Gardens expanding The Pearl Island's established residential community and Crystal Residence providing completed homes with flexible ownership options on Gewan Island.\n\nFollowing the exhibition, inquiries and expressions of interest for Perlita Gardens and sales enquiries for Crystal Residence will remain open, pending availability.
