Drawing inspiration from the low-rise Art Deco architecture of Miami, the design aims to bring a modern yet elements of the local culture and environment
Foster + Partners has announced a masterplan for a new sustainable city located along Bahrain’s southwest coast. The Bilaj Al Jayazer Beach project will span 3.5km of beachfront and is designed to create a vibrant, walkable community that blends residential, commercial, and leisure spaces with a strong focus on sustainability.
Drawing inspiration from the low-rise Art Deco architecture of Miami, the design aims to bring a modern yet elements of the local culture and environment. The masterplan is organised around three primary axes, said a statement.
The first is Beach Drive, which runs the entire length of the beachfront, offering views of the coastline and serving as a central route for residents and visitors. Parallel to it is the Main Boulevard, which acts as a key link connecting different parts of the development and serving as a direct connector between the beachfront and Main Boulevard, ensuring smooth traffic flow throughout the site.
Hotels and residential buildings will be located at the end of the sites, which serve as key landmarks and focal points for the development. The overall plan aims to establish a dynamic mixed-use district that includes new homes, hotels, retail outlets, and public green spaces, creating a balanced urban environment that promotes quality of life.
The project is being developed for Edamah, the real estate arm of Bahrain Mumtalakat Holding Company, and is expected to become a major hub for both residents and tourists.
Bahrain-based construction firm Cebarco’s first phase of infrastructure works includes the installation of services such as electricity, drinking water, sewage systems, storm drainage, telecommunications, and roadways. These initial infrastructure works are expected to take around a year to complete, setting the stage for further development of the area. |
