Work begins on Bahrain Marina development

01 January 2024

The BD200-million ($530.9 million) Bahrain Marina project celebrated its official ground-breaking recently, marking the launch of the prestigious development on the capital’s eastern coast along the arterial road Al Fateh Highway. Comprising the Bahrain Marina Residence, a luxurious hotel, and a pristine beach resort, the iconic development aims to offer a unique blend of living, shopping, scenic beaches and diverse water sports activities.

Spread over a 256,425-sq-m area, the Bahrain Marina project will boast a total of 274 freehold residential units; 192 retail outlets including international shops, luxurious restaurants, renowned cafes and a prestigious commercial complex hosting 33 stores; as well as hotel facilities spread over 68,637 sq m offering 304 rooms.

The development will have 1,769 underground parking spaces; 162 berths for yachts and boats; and a 3,200-sq-m marina clubhouse that will offer entertainment activities and marine programmes.

“The ambiance of Bahrain Marina seamlessly encapsulates the heritage and essence of Bahrain, strategically situated in the heart of the Arabian Gulf. This core concept guided the design of key elements such as the Marina Club building, the scenic corniche, an array of shops and restaurants, and the picturesque sea promenade,” says a spokesman for Bahrain Marina Development Company.

The developer has signed up Nass Contracting, a subsidiary of Nass Corporation, as the principal contractor while Mohamed Salahuddin Engineers & Architects (MSCEB) will oversee the construction of the inaugural phase of the project valued at BD92 million.

The project has received outstanding response according to Bahrain Marina Development Company which late last month announced that all the apartments offered in the project's first launch phase – 20 per cent of total number – have been fully booked in record time.

Exceeding all expectations, the success achieved during this period showcases the remarkable demand for the quality standards and features of the residences, particularly its unique sea views, says Bahrain Marina Development Company.

With its exceptional location on the eastern coastal strip of the capital, Bahrain Marina provides a unique tourist and living destination overlooking the sparkling waters of the Arabian Gulf.

The waterfront residences offer a range of options, including spacious studios, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments that are designed with meticulous attention to detail and boast contemporary interiors, high-end finishes, and breathtaking views of the marina and the azure waters beyond. The project will provide world-class amenities, including a marina club, shopping district and entertainment centres.

Among the many amenities are a multi-purpose hall, which serves as a versatile event and banquet venue and various recreational areas, including a gaming area and a kids play area, and an aerobic studio.

According to the developer, the project adheres to the highest global standards in achieving social sustainability by using environment-friendly materials, incorporating extensive green spaces, and providing dedicated areas for sports, especially water sports, to ensure that residents of the development enjoy an active lifestyle that enhances their quality of life.
