Bahrain-based property and facility management company Royal Ambassador has announced plans to develop an all-new outdoor lifestyle and entertainment destination ‘Juffair Square’ in the capital Manama.

Strategically located off Juffair’s main road, the $35-million Juffair Square is being developed by Kooheji Contractors, and is likely to open in the first quarter of 2019.

The development is set to introduce innovative concepts in food and beverage, showcase leading fashion brands and feature several entertainment and wellness outlets as well as green landscapes, entertainment zones and car-parking spaces for more than 200 vehicles.

With a leasing space of over 10,000 sq m, Juffair Square will feature 40 new retail outlets.

“Juffair Square is a first for Bahrain and will solidify the kingdom’s position as an attractive destination,” remarked Eman Al Mannai, the general manager sales and business development at property management firm Royal Ambassador.

“The development, which will be unique in its design and laid-back vibe, is set to open in first quarter of 2019, and will be a home to many local and internationally recognised retailers,” Al Mannai added.
