Tender issued for Qatar's pincer-shaped Katara Towers

Katara Hospitality has issued a tender for the substructure and basement of Katara Towers, a pair of pincer-shaped towers in Doha, Qatar.

These towers are to host five- and six- star hotels, as well as apartments, with a total of 614 rooms on the property. Permanent residents will have branded rooms, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat reports.

Leisure and water sports facilities and dining options will be located on a man-made satellite island extending off of the property's beachfront area.
