PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The master plan for the 2,500 acre new city off the coast of Bahrain is anchored by two urban cores.  The North Core was primarily residential in character organized around a pedestrian Corniche, harbor and mixed use promenade.

The second core, Town Center, was more commercial in character with a sizable office component and a Lifestyle Retail Center at its heart, including:

• Retail        800,000 SF

• Residential     1,200 DU

• Office        1.2 MM SF

Steve Kellenberg’s design team developed both urban design plans, landscape concepting and detailed design guidelines.  

The project is currently under construction.
