CanalView in Dilmunia ... a health and wellness island.
SSH starts work on Bahrain waterfront project
01 December 2017
SSH, a leading masterplanning, building design, construction supervision and project management firm in the region, said it has started construction supervision for real estate group Naseej’s development CanalView in Dilmunia, a health and wellness island development off the northeastern coast of Muharraq in Bahrain.
This comes following the successful execution of lead design consultancy services by SSH.
CanalView is a mixed-use residential and retail project comprising four elegant residential towers with a two-level retail and food and beverages (F&B) podium, being developed over a 13,068-sq-m area.
Piling has now started on the project after a ground-breaking ceremony held late October.
According to SSH, the fundamental design approach is to create an urban environment that takes full advantage of the development’s prime waterfront location within Dilmunia Island. The CanalView residences are set in beautifully landscaped gardens next to a sweeping canal-side promenade.
The spectacular 1.6-km canal, with dual pedestrian access, provides ideal spaces for retail and F&B amenities. CanalView residents will have access to a breathtaking public park via the canal footbridge next to the property. Other iconic installations include the waterfall footpath and fountain system.
The two-storey, stone-clad podium provides residents and visitors with a double-level public promenade and provides an attractive architectural solution to the gradient difference across the site. The recessed terrace level design also reduces the overall mass of the podium and creates a sense of human scale to the development, said SSH.
