Retail spaces offered at Lusail Tram stations

Qatar Rail is offering retailers an opportunity to open new stores at Doha Metro’s Lusail Tram stations. At least five retail spaces – Marina, Marina Promenade, Yacht Club, Esplanade, and Energy City South – are currently available for leasing. Units start at QR3,000 monthly, according to an advertisement issued by Qatar Rail Monday.

The Lusail Tram network is comprised of four lines and 25 stations aboveground and underground, and connects it to the Doha Metro via two interchange stations: Lusail and Legtaifiya.

Retailers who avail of this offer at Lusail Tram stations can also get 12 months of licence fee for free and flexible agreement duration of three years or five years. Water and electricity costs will be included in the licence fee.

The Lusail Tram’s total route is approximately 19km long and around 1,500sq m of retail space is spread across 43 retail outlets.

Qatar Rail noted that trams, compared to petrol-powered vehicles such as buses, provide efficient and environment-friendly transport services for commuters.

“Trams are greener and cope better with traffic than buses. They are also much more efficient in terms of road usage as one train replaces about 40 cars which take up a far larger area of road space,” Qatar Rail
