The general masterplan for the 1.3 million square metre mixed-use mega project has been approved by Bahrain’s Higher Urban Planning Committee.
Located on the Soutwest Coast of Bahrain, the Bilaj Al Jazayer masterplan is set to transform the country’s tourism landscape. In collaboration with a number of investors and strategic partners, the masterplan will see the construction of a strong hotels, entertainment and leisure facilities, restaurants and retail and residential components. The project also includes a 3km stretch of beach, which will act as the cornerstore of the masterplan.
The beach area was reopened to the public in November of last year as part of the project’s BD 5M first phase. This first phase covered coastal reclamation, parking spaces, service facilities and a 1.2km walkway. Meanwhile, two of the important facilities have already been announced, the Avani and Tivoli hotels, which will be the first of the hospitality projects at the development will be opening in 2024.
Edamah’s CEO, Amin Al Arrayed said: “Edamah’s goal is to ensure that the Bilaj Al Jazayer general masterplan serves Bahrain’s economic and leisure interests, while at the same time minimizing the environmental impact. All future projects at Bilaj Al Jazayer will be developed in a holistic manner, with consideration to both cultural values and market demand. The public can expect a range of new project announcements in the coming months and years as we partner with local and international investors.”
