Groundbreaking Held for New US Embassy in Doha, Qatar

Highlighting the deepening ties of friendship between the United States and Qatar, the Overseas Buildings Operations, the U.S. Mission in Doha and other U.S. and local officials recently broke ground for a new U.S. Embassy in Qatar’s capital city.

Located on a 12.3-acre site in a new diplomatic zone in Doha’s Wadi al Banat district, the new U.S. Embassy will support the continued expansion of U.S.–Qatari diplomatic, security and commercial relations.

Richärd Kennedy Architects is the design architect, American International Contractors Inc. (Special Projects) is the Design-Build contractor and KCCT is the architect of record. An estimated $110 million will be invested in the local economy and approximately 1,200 third-country nationals will be employed during construction.

The new embassy is scheduled for completion in 2026 and will provide a future-forward, resilient platform for diplomacy in Doha.
