MUSEUM CONSTRUCTION Benoy announces exciting Bahrain marina masterplan
Benoy, an international, award-winning architecture, master- planning, interior and graphic design firm, is thrilled to announce the first phase of the Bahrain Marina Development in Manama, Bahrain. The firm has just completed the concept masterplan for this
luxury scheme which will reinvent the current marina with a 150,000m² mixed-use design including the prestigious Bahrain Marina Yacht Club. State-of-the-art facilities across several sectors, comprising
residential, entertainment, leisure and hospitality will further develop this bustling capital city. With a 5 star hotel, serviced apartments, retail, a cinema and a wide variety of food and beverage options; the Benoy Masterplan creates a landmark community anchored by the Bahrain Marina Yacht Club situated at the heart of the project. Subtle aspects of the design, such as the wide promenade
which will encourage meandering through the retail area as visitors enjoy the beautiful water features accenting the vibrant atmosphere, along with more prominent amenities combine to create this new lifestyle icon which will completely transform the current waterside area of Manama into a premier destination reaching far beyond the Gulf Coast region. Working with the real estate investment arm and a wholly
owned subsidiary of Bahrain’s Social Insurance Organisation (SIO), Amlak, Benoy is proud to visualise its first project for them. Further commenting on the development, a spokesperson
from Amlak stated that: “This Masterplan not only meets our brief of driving further investment into the Kingdom, but
Benoy’s design brings a world-class development all residents and visitors can thoroughly enjoy. We are very keen to position the Bahrain Marina Development as a National Landmark.” Paul Priest, Benoy Director and Head of MENA Studios,
commented that: “The Bahrain Marina Masterplan has been inspired by the beautiful natural environment blended with the energy of the Capital. “With the support of Amlak on this stunning and diverse
project, we are sure it will quickly become an iconic develop- ment in the Benoy portfolio,” Paul added.
