First Bahrain has broken ground on its 716,000 sq ft logistics and warehousing project at the Bahrain Investment Wharf (BIW) in Hidd, Bahrain.

Contractor Abdullah H Al Darazi and Sons is pursuing an aggressive schedule to complete the work by the end of this year with the entire $45 million project due for completion in 18 months.
The BIW is aimed at alleviating a shortage of quality warehousing space for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) in Bahrain. It is funded in part through debt secured from Kuwait Finance House.
First Bahrain general manager Amin Al Arrayed and other officials were present for the groundbreaking ceremony.
