The Tala Residence is a 346-unit housing project being developed for the employees of the Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC) under a Memorandum of Understanding signed in January 2010 between Mazaya Qatar Real Estate Development and the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development. There is a 10 year exclusive mandate to lease it from the date of conclusion, and the project was completed earlier this year.
The QNCC, inaugurated in the fourth quarter of 2011, is the first project of its kind to be built in conformity with the standards of the Gold Category Certification of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) issued by the US Green Building Council. It constitutes a set of options for conferences, exhibitions and major local and international events.
