Waterfront Mixed Use Development Masterplan
The development aspires to complete one of Middle East's prime waterfront sites. The brief was carefully conceived to complement and support the existing neighbourhood by creating a contemporary waterfront destination. The project comprises outdoor F&B, retail, luxury residential with a boutique hotel, and an exclusive island resort of around 170,000sqm GFA.
The development is designed to connect with the urban scale boardwalk of the marina, presenting an integrated beach front environment. The boardwalk and beach promenade converge in a waterfront space that is designed as a flexible entertainment plaza capable of staging sports events, open markets, and cultural events. Large interactive screens broadcast live events, providing a focal point particularly for sporting events.
A series of floating platforms create an exclusive lido within the marina. During the day, this will be an exclusive poolside and lounge retreat with multiple pools, decks, lounge areas, and casual dining facilities. At night, rooftop bars and restaurants provide vantage points to view the city skyline.
A boutique hotel wraps around a series of courtyards that step back from the public beach. The hotel rooms offer panoramic views over the beach and surrounding water.
Views from the residential units are optimised with a mix of residential typologies including boutique penthouses, rooftop simplexes and duplexes, and higher level garden apartments. These are accessed through a lush landscaped courtyard, creating an exclusive and tranquil environment for residents.
