Ariane launches new SK Holding chapter

Doha [Qatar], September 20: Ariane, one of Qatar's leading real estate companies, has embarked on a new corporate chapter in its journey, marked by a ceremony held last evening at the Rosewood Doha, in the presence of HE Sheikh Suhaim bin Khalid bin Hamad Al Thani, Chairman of SK Holding and Ariane, a number of Their Excellencies, representatives of regulatory authorities and government entities, CEOs of major real estate companies, as well as banking and investment leaders and strategic partners. The evening reflected the company's development and its aspirations for the next phase.
The ceremony represented an important milestone in Ariane's journey, bringing together a review of the company's achievements since its establishment in 2013 and the announcement of a new corporate phase built on the experience, projects and market presence it has accumulated over the years. This comes as the company moves under the umbrella of SK Holding, a transition aimed at unifying its vision, strengthening governance and enhancing alignment between planning and execution in line with the scale of its real estate portfolio and the nature of the Qatari market.
The ceremony was hosted by media personality Khalid Jassim, who led the evening's programme, including speeches, visual presentations and corporate launches, culminating in the official unveiling of the company's new identity and website.
The evening marked Ariane's transition into a new chapter that builds on, rather than separates from, its previous years and achievements. It reflects an institutional vision focused on enhancing performance, maximising value, strengthening investment capabilities and improving the efficiency of portfolio management, while preserving the values associated with the company's name and its established position in the market.
A New Corporate Chapter
The ceremony opened with a welcome address by HE Sheikh Jassim bin Jabr Al Thani, CEO of Ariane, who stressed that the evening was not merely a formal occasion, but an opportunity for direct dialogue away from meeting rooms, bringing together various stakeholders across the sector to strengthen professional trust and communication and facilitate an exchange of views on the current real estate market and its future prospects.
He emphasised that Ariane does not view itself simply as a real estate developer, but as an evolving experience in redefining the concept of urban development, based on a philosophy of turning vision into reality, translating ambition into tangible achievements on the ground and creating value that extends beyond the conventional real estate project.
He noted that the current phase requires greater clarity in decision-making and precise definition of responsibilities, achieving the necessary balance between ambition and execution capabilities while reinforcing the principles of seriousness, transparency and sustainable performance across all levels of the organisation.
HE Sheikh Jassim bin Jabr Al Thani explained that Ariane's move under the umbrella of SK Holding represents primarily an organisational transition aimed at unifying the company's execution vision in line with the scale of its portfolio and the nature of the market. It also seeks to develop working mechanisms that enhance monitoring and execution capabilities and connect strategic directions with measurable practical outcomes.
He said that the current management's approach is based on clear decision-making, close follow-up and stronger alignment between planning and execution. He stressed that executive responsibility at this stage is not limited to administrative functions, but represents a full professional commitment to establishing clear working foundations capable of translating the corporate vision into actual performance.
In this context, he affirmed that Qatar's real estate sector is built on an integrated equation and a delicate balance among developers, financiers, regulators and the market. Achieving genuine and sustainable progress requires an aware and responsible partnership among all these stakeholders, based on a clear understanding of the facts, mutual respect and well-defined roles.
He noted that the presence of executive leaders, representatives of official institutions and regulatory bodies, banking and investment sectors and strategic partners at the evening reflected the importance of this integration and demonstrated the commitment of different stakeholders to strengthening professional relationships that contribute to supporting and developing the sector.
Ariane in Numbers
During the evening, Ariane presented an overview of its journey and the scale of its real estate portfolio through a set of indicators reflecting the breadth of its operations, the diversity of its projects and its presence across several strategic locations in Qatar.
The company currently manages more than 23 projects across 13 strategic locations in the country, reflecting a carefully planned geographical presence across several urban areas and highlighting the diversity of its portfolio in terms of project types and real estate products.
Ariane's total development has exceeded 1 million square metres of built-up area, within a portfolio comprising more than 4,000 diverse residential units, including more than 550 villas and townhouses, more than 4,000 apartments and studios, in addition to more than 300 commercial units.
These indicators reflect the scale of Ariane's journey since its establishment, as well as the diversity of its real estate products and the breadth of its customer base, projects and locations. The presentation highlighted that these figures should not be viewed solely in quantitative terms, but also in terms of product diversity, geographical reach, customer base and the trust the company has built in the market through its ability to deliver projects according to established timelines and quality standards.
The presentation of these indicators comes at an important corporate moment for Ariane, as the company enters a new phase supported by a foundation of projects, assets and experience that provides the basis for continued growth, the development of working mechanisms and greater efficiency in portfolio management in the coming phase.
From 2013 to a New Chapter
The ceremony featured a film documenting Ariane's journey since its establishment in 2013, highlighting the company's key milestones, the development of its projects, its expanding geographical presence and its approach to innovation and sustainability, leading to the latest corporate transition under the umbrella of SK Holding.
The film presented a connected picture of a journey spanning the past years, showing how Ariane evolved from one stage to another alongside the growth of its portfolio and diversification of its projects, leading to the current phase in which the company seeks to build on its achievements and reorganise its operating framework in line with its scale and future aspirations.
The presentation also highlighted SK Holding's acquisition of Ariane as a strategic decision aimed at improving performance, maximising value, strengthening investment capabilities and enhancing the efficiency of real estate portfolio management, laying the foundations for greater integration between corporate vision and execution capabilities.
This transformation represents a turning point in the company's journey, not as a departure from its previous history, but as an extension of it within a new corporate framework that leverages the legacy Ariane has built and redeploys it in a phase requiring higher levels of organisation, clarity and the ability to respond to market developments.
Launch of the New Corporate Identity
One of the key highlights of the evening was the official unveiling of Ariane' new corporate identity, reflecting the company's evolution and readiness for the next phase, while visually and institutionally translating the transformation it is undergoing following years of growth and development.
The launch of the new identity formed part of Ariane's vision to strengthen its corporate presence and respond to the requirements of the next phase, while preserving the values and legacy that have contributed to establishing the company's position in the real estate market over the years.
The new identity is not an isolated visual change, but rather a reflection of Ariane' evolution, growth and expanding scale and presence, as well as its aspirations to further strengthen its position, develop its corporate presence and continue creating sustainable value for its customers, partners and the wider community.
During the ceremony, Mohammed Al Marri, Head of Marketing and Public Relations, presented the philosophy behind the new corporate identity, explaining that it was developed to reflect Ariane's evolution and readiness for a new phase of growth, while preserving the values associated with the company's name and the trust it has built with customers and partners over the years.
He affirmed that the new identity reflects the company's development and future aspirations, adding that Ariane continues to build on its established legacy and strengthen its position through a vision focused on growth, innovation and sustainable value creation. He noted that Ariane has a well-established legacy and a distinguished position in the market, and that the new identity being launched today expresses the company's evolution and growth while reflecting its vision and ambitions for the next phase.
The new identity was officially unveiled through a dedicated visual presentation outlining the story behind its development, its design philosophy and the meanings it conveys, reflecting the company's evolution and future vision. The new identity serves as an expression of the next chapter in Ariane's journey while maintaining its connection to the values and foundations upon which it has built its presence over the years.
The launch represents an extension of the company's corporate transformation, with the new identity complementing the realignment of its execution vision, the development of its corporate presence and the image Ariane presents to its customers, partners and the market.
A New Digital Platform
Coinciding with the launch of its corporate identity, the ceremony also witnessed the unveiling of Ariane's new website, developed to reflect the new identity and provide a modern digital experience characterised by greater ease of use and clarity.
The new website enables customers and partners to explore the company's projects, services and latest news through an integrated digital platform, in line with Ariane's focus on developing its corporate and digital presence and providing a clearer and easier way to access information about its projects and services.
The launch of the new digital platform comes within the same context as the corporate identity, as the company seeks to ensure that its development is comprehensive and not limited to a single aspect of its operations, but also extends to how it presents its projects and services and communicates with different stakeholders.
The ceremony therefore brought together the announcement of the corporate transformation, a review of the scale of the real estate portfolio, the launch of the new identity and the unveiling of the website, reflecting the interconnected components of the next phase and confirming that Ariane's current transformation represents an integrated path towards developing the company and strengthening its presence.
A Vision Built on Value and Sustainability
In his address to the attendees, HE Sheikh Jassim bin Jabr Al Thani affirmed that Ariane continues to build on its legacy and position in the market while looking ahead to a new phase centred on growth, innovation and sustainable value creation.
He explained that the success of the next phase will depend on the company's ability to achieve alignment between vision and execution, ensuring that corporate plans are supported by a genuine ability to deliver, responsibilities are clearly defined, monitoring mechanisms are precise and decisions are aligned with market realities and the scale of the portfolio.
In this context, the new phase reflects a move towards strengthening a corporate culture based on transparency, discipline and clarity, while maintaining direct dialogue with partners and stakeholders across the real estate sector.
HE Sheikh Jassim bin Jabr Al Thani concluded his remarks by emphasising the importance of continuing this dialogue and fostering a corporate culture that promotes transparency and discipline, calling for such gatherings to be used to reinforce professional values and build long-term partnerships.
This vision aligns with the nature of the gathering, which brought together regulatory authorities, government institutions, real estate companies, banking and investment leaders and strategic partners, reflecting the interconnected nature of the real estate sector and the need for cooperation and coordination among its various stakeholders.
A Presence Reflecting a Partnership
Ecosystem
Ariane's evening witnessed notable attendance from various institutions and sectors, reflecting the company's position within Qatar's real estate development landscape and highlighting the professional network connecting the real estate sector with regulatory authorities, financial and investment institutions and partners. During the evening, attendees exchanged views on the prospects of the real estate market, regulatory developments and future growth opportunities, against the backdrop of Qatar's economic stability, the continuation of major projects and the development of a regulatory environment supportive of investment.
The nature of the gathering also highlighted the importance of direct communication among the various stakeholders in the real estate ecosystem. This was a key point emphasised by the company's CEO, who noted that sector development is not the responsibility of a single party, but depends on a balanced relationship among developers, financiers, regulators and the market. From this perspective, the event was not limited to presenting Ariane and its new identity, but also provided an opportunity for professional networking among attendees, in line with the company's approach to building long-term relationships based on trust, clarity and an understanding of market needs.
Vision and Execution
The evening as a whole conveyed a series of interconnected messages reflecting the nature of the new phase in Ariane's journey.
At the forefront is the consolidation of the corporate transformation following the acquisition, and the emphasis that the company's move under the umbrella of SK Holding is linked to a phase characterised by clear decision-making, stronger governance, close monitoring and a unified execution vision.
The second message concerns the scale of Ariane and its real estate portfolio, reflected in the figures presented during the event, including the number of projects and locations, built-up area and diversity of residential and commercial units. These figures demonstrate the foundation from which the company is entering its new phase. The third message relates to the new corporate identity as an expression of the company's evolution rather than merely a visual change. The identity has been introduced to reflect Aryan's growth and future aspirations while preserving the values, legacy and trust it has built over the years.
This is complemented by the development of its digital presence through the new website, providing customers and partners with a clearer and easier channel to explore the company's projects, services and news.
The evening also highlighted the importance of partnership and direct dialogue among different stakeholders in the sector, recognising that sustainable real estate development cannot be achieved in isolation from the integration of developers, financiers, regulators and the market.
Together, these elements present Ariane's vision for the next phase as one in which vision meets execution, ambition meets capability, and growth meets responsibility, within a corporate framework focused on sustainable value creation.
The new phase follows a journey that began in 2013 and has seen Ariane grow its projects, geographical presence and real estate portfolio, making the current transformation an extension of an established path.
Towards Sustainable Value
At the conclusion of the ceremony, Ariane affirmed that the launch of its new corporate identity represents more than a visual change. It marks an advanced stage in the company's journey since its establishment in 2013 and embodies the evolution of its vision and ambitions, as well as the corporate transformation taking place under the umbrella of SK Holding.
The company explained that the next phase will continue to build on the achievements of previous years and leverage its accumulated experience and the scale and diversity of its real estate portfolio, while enhancing corporate efficiency, strengthening integration between planning and execution, and reinforcing an approach based on quality, innovation, sustainability and value creation.
Ariane also affirmed that its relationships with regulatory authorities, financial and investment institutions and strategic partners form an essential part of its journey, and that continued dialogue and cooperation among different stakeholders are important pillars in supporting the growth of the real estate market and enhancing its ability to meet Qatar's aspirations.
The ceremony, hosted by media personality Khalid Jassim, concluded with an evening bringing together Ariane's guests and partners in a celebratory atmosphere, featuring a formal dinner and live musical performances to mark this milestone in the company's journey and celebrate its aspirations for the years ahead.
Ariane affirmed that it is moving forward with a clear vision built on a legacy spanning more than thirteen years, seeking to strengthen its market presence, develop its portfolio and deliver urban projects and experiences that respond to customers' needs and keep pace with the evolution of Qatar's real estate sector.
As it enters this new phase under the umbrella of SK Holding, Ariane continues its journey on a foundation that combines accumulated experience with a renewed vision, and ambition with execution capability, strengthening its position and contributing to the creation of sustainable value for its customers, partners and the community.
