Project Overview


Background

Bahrain based Diyar Al Muharraq and Abu Dhabi based Eagle Hills has formed a partnership to build a residential development called “Marassi Al Bahrain” that will be located along the south-western corner of the Diyar al Muharraq mega-development in Muharraq, Bahrain.

The current project "Marassi Shores Residences" is a U-shaped property with superior amenities, surrounding a private leisure complex and directly adjacent to the retail promenade and beach. It has a waterfront location with a direct access to the 2-km-long Marassi beach, and will offer high quality residences in Bahrain. 

The U-shaped building surrounds a podium with stunning sea views, housing a collection of 287 studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments, along with penthouses, across 11-storeys.


Scope of Work

The 36,079 sq m Marassi Shores Residences will offer around 287 studio, one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments in mid-rise complexes, along with penthouses, clubbed across 11-storeys, with waterfront views. Residents will also have access to a private landscaped area within the residential towers and amenities such as health clubs, swimming pool, kids play area etc.


Finance

Diyar Al Muharraq is responsible for financing the development with the assistance of local banks. 

In September 2016, Bahrain based Al Salam Bank has signed a partnership agreement to form a real estate development escrow account model for the urban waterfront project. The arrangement is made in accordance with new legislation under which developers are required to establish an escrow account with a local bank for each real estate development project intended to be sold-off plan. This will ensure protection for stakeholders, especially end-buyers, by utilizing funds only for the development they have invested in.


Additional Notes

Upon completion, Marassi Al Bahrain will be home to 15,000 residents with a total of 4,500 residences and a total retail space of 250,000 sqm.

The residences will offer buyers a smart option with the beach and premier facilities right on their doorstep, making it a home people will be truly proud to own.
