Overall perspective of the project.
Durrat Al Bahrain heads for completion
01 December 2007
Durrat Al Bahrain, Bahrain’s largest planned luxury mixed-use residential, commercial and resort development, has made major progress and is well on its way to a rapid completion.
The $4 billion project includes a golf precinct, the Ernie Els designed 18-hole championship course community, and a 400 -berth marina as well as the Crescent,
The preliminary master plan for the golf course has now been completed, which envisions an Ernie Els designed 18-hole championship golf course, and 1,400 villas and apartments set against the green of the course and the azure blue of the surrounding sea and landscaped lakes and canal, said an official spokesman.
US consultants EDSA have been brought in to proceed with a detailed master plan and to advise upon the urban design vision of the golf community, with the aim of creating clusters of residential housing that will offer different types of lifestyle options.
These clusters will then be marketed to developers with completion scheduled from the end of 2009. Durrat Al Bahrain’s golf course community will also see a 200-room six-star hotel situated in 3.6 hectares, as well as a club house with a health facility that will offer sports halls, gyms, well-being facilities and retail outlets that will be available for the whole of the Durrat Al Bahrain community.
The Crescent will see a combination of commercial, retail and residential property, planned around waterfronts, open spaces and lakes where between 30,000 and 35,000 will live and work.
