Work is in full swing at Sa’ada, a premium waterfront project being developed by Bahrain Real Estate Investment Company (Edamah) in the Muharraq area of the kingdom, at an investment of BD45 million ($119 million).

With Phase One work finished in July, the project is on schedule for completion by the fourth quarter of 2019, said the Ministry of Works, Municipalities Affairs and Urban Planning.

Phase One will provide a dynamic, fully-accessible public waterfront with shaded terraces and parking, it stated.

“There will be seven buildings for lease with a mix of food and beverage, kiosks, a multi-storey car-park and other supporting facilities including a chandlery to support the marina berths which are now in place,” remarked Essam bin Abdulla Khalaf, Minister of Works, Municipalities Affairs and Urban Planning.

Mohammed Jalal Contracting Company is the main contractor on the project, while Gulf Engineering Company is the main consultant and Aecom is the consultant for the project infrastructure, said Khalaf.

The early works including site reclamation and construction of the quay wall was completed in February. The infrastructure works was due to commence last month following the land preparation and the building of the foundations.
