17. Option 1 (Total Area = 2993 m² ). Option 2 ( Total Area = 2609.76 m² ).
Ras Bufontas Location Option 1 – Plot PA-SH-02-01 (now Service Hub subdivided plot, former plot PO-MO- 02).
Ras Bufontas Location Option 2 - Plot PA-WH-19-01.
STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES OPPORTUNITIES THREATS Option A (Total Area = 2993m²) 1. Parcel A central location, part of Service Hub / community services zoned lands. - 1. Given the location within the Service Hub plot, there is opportunity for the customs building to be converted into a community facility building once the customs facility is no longer required at this location. - 2. Relatively level site with small level differences across the site. - 2. Opportunity to extend development on the adjacent open space area in order to accommodate any potential building extension / additional parking requirements. - 3.Larger overall plot size which can amply accommodate space for all required activities within the site and even potential expansion should it be required. . - - Option B (Total Area = 2609.76 m²) 1. Relatively level site with small level differences across the site. 1. Remote location at Southern end of Parcel A. 1. Opportunity to extend development on the adjacent open space area in order to accommodate any potential building extension / additional parking requirements. 1. A customs building developed on this site may not be suitable for conversion to accommodate future use / needs of potential investors once the customs facility will no longer be required at this location. 2. Site located within IT / Technology cluster, therefore proposed facility use is compatible with the land use zoning. - - -.

C 3 PoP Buildings SWOT. Space Cost Time Risk Option 1 Using PoP buildings only North building + 3 floors South building + 2 floors Height of the north building at 24 meters approximately would exceed the 15-meter limit by 9 meters. Complicated structure, limited size and geometry for uses. Total Estimated Cost QAR 12.8M Extension of two to three floors on existing structure will require more complex design, planning and construction procedures Estimated development program 12 months Complex construction process. Limited space and layout options. Unfavorable vertical circulation. + +++ + + Option 2 Using north PoP building with adjacent public plot Adjacent plot together with existing PoP building would allow for a GFA of approximately 1500m2 which would suit the required optimized space program of 1413m2. Reduced works due to use of existing structure Total Estimated Cost QAR 13.5M New built section can be designed to match schedule. Existing Pop-up structure should be designed for minor adjustments only. Overall reduced construction scope. Estimated development program 14 months Scope creep could put strain on limited available BUA +++ ++ +++ ++ Option 3 Using south PoP building with part of adjacent utilities plot Adjacent plot together with existing PoP building would allow for a GFA of approximately 1500m2 which would suit the required optimized space program of 1413m2. Also, parking could be accommodated on the adjacent plot. Reduced works due to use of existing structure Cost of land. Utility plot could equally be converted to investor plot instead of use for CCC. Total Estimated Cost QAR 13.2M New built section can be designed to match schedule. Existing Pop-up structure should be designed for minor adjustments only. Overall reduced construction scope. Estimated development program 14 months +++ ++ +++ +++ Option 4 Custom design on new plot A plot of 1500 m2 would be required. Cost of land, loss of revenue, possible demolition costs once CCC moves to UAH Total Estimated Cost QAR 14M Design and construction methodology can be chosen to reduce time. Estimated development program 18 months Use of building once command control center moves to UAH. ++ + ++ ++ Option 5 Qatar national broadband network (QNBN) (Maintain 50% use and expansion on public open space Not considered since use of Pop-ups by themselves without QNBN is already a challenge in terms of areas and height restrictions..
SWOT Conclusion. The recommended option is number 3; the South PoP building and the adjacent utility plots. Option 3 provides a better compromise making use of the existing Pop building and the previously allocated plots for utilities next to it. In addition, it removes any uncertainty around land limitations with the potential HIA Bridge or Ashghal Utility access associated with the North PoP Building. Moreover, it is neighboring the proposed General Authority of Customs (GAC) permanent offices/inspection sites and will have a more accessible network of roads based on proposed masterplan. Lastly, while the growth potential is protected by choosing the South PoP building, this land could equally be freed up and allocated to investors if utility use is no longer required.
