"We have had a surge of inquiries from members of the expatriate community in addition to the interest we are receiving from Bahraini nationals and GCC citizens. We know that many expatriates currently living in the country would like to make Bahrain their home, and we are delighted that this is now possible,"
said Riffa Views Managing Director, Mr Yasser A. Abdulla.
"We have also been approached by former expatriates who would like to extend the positive experience they enjoyed while living in the Kingdom, and who have been eagerly awaiting an opportunity to own a home in the sun, along with the entitlement to live in Bahrain," Mr Abdulla added.
Riffa Views plans to build a gated community featuring 900 top quality designed and built homes woven around a planned new PGA championship golf course designed by internationally famed Arthur Hills/Steve Forrest & Associates. Three neighbourhoods will be laced together with extensive landscaping, combining oasis scenes with emerald parklands and lagoons with all homes enjoying open views of the golf fairways or green landscaping.
The Freehold legislation is part of a commitment to ensure that the real estate development is established as a multinational community on par with the most stringent international standards and expectations.
The first release of properties offered off plan currently include 81 villas with mortgage finance options in place, enabling eligible buyers of any nationality in any country in the world to secure a property in the development. On site work begins in June 2006, with the first phase being completed by the last quarter of 2007.
A variety of different villa designs will architecturally fuse contemporary Middle Eastern and Mediterranean themes, using materials that reflect environmental concern for Bahrain's climate and cultural heritage.
