Bahrain Bay to exhibit at MIPIM Asia
- United Arab Emirates: Tuesday, November 27 - 2007 at 12:10
- PRESS RELEASE
Bahrain Bay Development B.S.C.(c) announced today that it will exhibit at MIPIM Asia, the Asia Pacific region's biggest property exhibition.
MIPIM Asia 2007 is expected to see more than 400 property investors attending, 300 companies exhibiting and more than 3000 property sector professionals participating from more than 50 countries.
Bahrain Bay will use the opportunity of MIPIM Asia to market the $2.5bn landmark waterfront community to Asian property developers and investors. Bahrain Bay has successfully attracted significant investment from one of Asia's largest listed real estate companies, CapitaLand, to develop the $800m mixed-use "Raffles City" within Bahrain Bay.
CapitaLand will be drawing on its development expertise and track record gained from its presence in more than 100 cities in over 20 countries.
Bob Vincent, CEO of Bahrain Bay, said, "MIPIM Asia offers Bahrain Bay an excellent opportunity to market its vision of setting a new standard for urban living in the GCC region by creating a modern metropolis that will become the driving force for the re-development of Manama's city waterfront. With much of the leading thinking in real estate currently coming out of Asia, we're confident that Bahrain Bay's vision will find additional interest from forward-thinking Asian developers and investors, such as our current partners, CapitaLand."
Alongside Raffles City, Bahrain Bay will also host the new HQ building for Arcapita, the leading international investment firm and lead investor in the project, as well as the Kingdom's only Four Seasons Hotel.

About Bahrain Bay Development B.S.C.(c) (www.bahrainbay.com)Bahrain Bay is a new metropolis coming to life. A vibrant destination in the heart of Manama, Bahrain, this distinct community is a fusion between the calm of water and the vitality of an urban centre, the essence of Bahraini tradition. Positioned off the north-eastern shore of Manama, Bahrain Bay is a landmark $2.5 billion waterfront development designed around vibrant neighbourhoods of residential, commercial and retail spaces, all based upon the unique concept of an island connected by two bridges forming an inner harbour. Contemporary in design and modern in its sensibility, Bahrain Bay brings a new energy to Bahrain, uniquely combining its diverse components and contrasting elements into an authentic and welcoming destination.
The community is anchored by three key developments: the Kingdom's only Four Seasons Hotel; CapitaLand's first GCC development, Raffles City Bahrain; and the new HQ building for Arcapita, the leading international investment firm and lead investor in the project. Final completion for the entire project is expected in the next 5 - 7 years.
Bahrain Bay is committed to establishing and maintaining a new standard of urban centre. With an emphasis on social fabric and sense of place, Bahrain Bay will be created as a complete community filled with residents, businesses and visitors from all over the world. Bahrain Bay offers a range of high quality development opportunities for developers to participate in creating residential, commercial and retail offerings around the anchor developments. In addition to the anchor developments, Bahrain Bay has attracted a $150 million investment from an Indian based JV between the Ajmera Group and Mayfair Housing to acquire land and develop one of the tallest residential buildings within the project, and a number of other sites are under offer.
Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, a world leading architecture and urban design firm based in New York, the masterplan for Bahrain Bay has been designed to create a fusion of neighbourhoods, open spaces, entertainment, retail and commercial areas which, together as Bahrain Bay, will serve as symbol of Bahrain's promising future.
