Benoy, the international, award-winning Architecture, Masterplanning, 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 150,000sqm 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 offers, a cinema and a wide variety of food and beverage options, the Benoy Masterplan will create 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 encouraging visitors to meander through the retail area and enjoy the water features which will accent the vibrant atmosphere, along with other prominent amenities, combine to create this new lifestyle icon. The development will completely transform the current waterside area of Manama into a premier destination reaching far beyond the Gulf Coast region.

Working with Amlak, the real estate investment arm and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bahrain’s Social Insurance Organisation (SIO), Benoy is proud to visualise its first project for the company.

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 development in the Benoy portfolio,” Paul added.
