What looks like investment today becomes enforcement tomorrow.
A glossy brochure labeled “Qatar City, Arizona, USA” has begun circulating online. It shows a 6,000-acre state land auction and a massive proposed development project strategically placed near Arizona’s TSMC high-tech zone. The name? Qatar City. The plan? Unclear. The funding? Opaque. The timing? Disturbing.
The proposal was submitted under the name Khaled A. Shair, listing a contact email at kshair@lasaintl.com and a Nevada phone number. At first glance, it looks like a standard development pitch. But peel back even one layer, and the warning signs multiply.
There is no public record of where Khaled A. Shair is actually from. Court documents list him as a resident of Illinois, but there is no traceable birthplace, no confirmed nationality, and no digital history to back the public-facing identity. What we do know is this: he has past ties to both Saudi business circles and Qatar’s state-controlled Islamic banking sector.
Shair appears in older U.S.–Saudi business directories as President & CEO of Lasa International LLC, a company that is now permanently closed, with no website, no active business registration, and no operational record in any state database. Its domain, lasaintl.com, is dead. Its entire digital footprint? Ghosted.
Yet somehow, this is the corporate name attached to a 6,000-acre state land proposal to build a foreign-branded megacity in Arizona.
The proposal was “prepared by” Lee & Associates, a legitimate commercial real estate brokerage. But their official listings show no public record of this project, and no known broker affiliation with Shair. It’s unclear whether their name was officially attached or simply used as a template.
So what do we actually have?
- A multi-billion-dollar land proposal with zero corporate transparency.
- A foreign-named project tied to a now-defunct LLC with no real-world business trail.
- And a broker name that appears more as a prop than a partner.
