To be fully compeleted early 2013, the three office towers are to be situated along the northeastern coast including a impressive sky garden located in each tower, to give the surrounding area the essence of nature.
The retail builings will be located on the northern area of the site extending along the western and eastern sides of the side, creating an intricate connection between the office towers and office building lobbies.
Regarding the residential buildings, Lusail will postion them along the southern side of the site providing breath-taking views of the Persian Gulf.

Such a project provides many facilities for it's inhabitants. The facades for this project were inspired by the traditional Mashribiya patterns. The retail builings contain skylights at their entrance, to mimic the brightness of light found at the Arabic Souqs. Finally, the residential buildings contain a variety of stone, steel and glass to maximise the views of the watr from within.

This project is particulary unique, because it offers a variety of different buildings each suited for it's use. Whether it's for a business place, or a home for a family, Lusail has got it all.
