The project provides 789 apartments and features two-bedroom furnished units with a rental price of QR4,500 per month and QR4,000 for non-furnished; about 21 apartments consisting of 3-bedroom units with a monthly rental at QR6,000, about 80 apartments consisting of one-bedroom units with a monthly rental of QR4,000, and a 4-bedroom apartment unit with monthly rental of QR6,500.

The report also highlighted the smart real estate project Sharekna developed by the SAK Partnerships, as a solution for landlords of vacant land lots, enabling them to transform the lands into real estate projects that generate long-term gains. The project is suitable for developing residential or commercial complex, buildings or towers, as well as hospitals or schools. Sharekna offers feasibility studies and good planning by specialised engineers and experts, and secures funds for undertaking the project and construction in a record time at a prime cost, without calculating any profit margin for SAK Partnerships. This saves 40 percent of the total cost of the project for the landlord, in return for a stake equivalent to one third of the project for SAK.
