Lusail Property Doha: Metro Extension Opens 2026
Lusail emerges as Doha's fastest-growing suburb with Red Line metro arriving December 2026. Explore new apartments and residential developments near Lusail Boulevard as infrastructure transforms the corridor.
How we reported this
The Red Line extension of Qatar Rail reached its final testing phase in Lusail this month, with full passenger service scheduled for December 2026.
Property demand along this corridor has risen sharply because the new links cut travel time from central Doha to under 25 minutes and tie directly into the Lusail City master plan that targets 450,000 residents by 2030.
Developers report strong interest in plots near Lusail Boulevard and the Ezdan Oasis compound, where groundworks for the next phase of residential towers began last quarter under the oversight of Lusail Real Estate Development Company.
Metro and highway upgrades reshape daily commutes
The new Lusail Central station will sit 400 metres from the marina promenade, while the parallel Lusail Expressway widening project added two lanes each direction between Al Khor Road and the North Gate interchange in May. These works form part of the same 2023-2027 transport package that already delivered the Al Bayt Stadium access roads and the Al Thakhira interchange.
Ministry of Transport figures show vehicle volumes on the corridor rose 31 percent year on year through June 2026, prompting the authority to fast-track an additional park-and-ride facility at the station.
Price trends and buyer profiles
Land registry data released last week recorded 184 off-plan sales in Lusail between January and June, up from 151 in the same period last year. Average prices for three-bedroom apartments reached QAR 1.85 million, while waterfront villas listed at QAR 5.2 million. Most transactions involved Qatari families and expatriate professionals tied to nearby energy and logistics firms.
Buyers considering entry now should review the remaining inventory at the Lusail Marina District through licensed agents and confirm connection timelines directly with Qatar Rail before signing reservation agreements.
