Place Vendôme, a project by Qatar-based United Developers under way in Lusail City, has implemented Yardi Voyager 7S, a browser-independent and mobile-enabled real estate software as a service platform.

A QR5-billion ($1.37 billion) mixed-use development, Place Vendôme, will host two five-star luxury hotels, serviced apartments, a mall featuring more than 400 different retail outlets and a central entertainment amphitheatre. It is slated for opening in 2018.

“Implementing the right real estate management solution was a key component in helping us deliver best-in-class retailer relationships and stakeholders’ engagement,” remarked Sean Kelly, the project director at United Developers.

“Voyager not only provides us with a platform for highly efficient property management, it helps us when working on retail operation strategy,” he added.

Place Vendôme has also adopted Yardi Commercial LeasingPad, an automated, fully mobile solution that shortens leasing cycles by combining contact and prospect management with portfolio health analytics.

Neal Gemassmer, vice president of international for Yardi, said: "Yardi is pleased to provide United Developers with a platform that allows management of a large-scale commercial retail project with a single software solution, along with the option to provide additional solutions to meet emerging business needs."-TradeArabia News Service
