Bahrain-based real estate development company Manara has issued tenders to develop the infrastructure systems for its ‘Investment Gateway-Bahrain’ project.

Dr Hasan Al Bastaki, managing director of Manara Developments, explained that the scope of infrastructure works will include the internal transportation network, sewage system, electrical wiring, and the communication network in order to develop a modern and progressive infrastructure with potential for future developments and improvements.

The construction work is scheduled to start in the third quarter of this year and is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2016.

“We have planned the infrastructure of the ‘Investment Gateway Bahrain’ project to provide the owners of the plots with an integrated suite of services to suit their current and future needs that may arise in the future thus ensuring that the infrastructure arrangements are in line with our ambitions to develop the area into an ultimate logistics and light industry hub offering complete solutions for both display and storage requirements while allowing for progressive improvements to the basic services provided,” said Dr Al Bastaki.

Dr Al Bastaki added that the infrastructure construction tender was issued among the best and largest specialised contractors in the Kingdom on the spectrum to submit bids for the completion of the required works with the highest degree of efficiency, accuracy and commitment to the date of completion.

The infrastructure for the ‘Investment Gateway – Bahrain’ project was designed by UK-based specialised international company URS.

Prior to this tender, another one had been issued in April for the consultancy and design services for electricity sub-station of 66KV for the ‘Investment Gateway – Bahrain’ project .

It is the first project dedicated to light industry and commercial activities in the Muharraq Governorate enabling the investor to obtain ownership of the land and is therefore not subject to a limited lease period.

A number of companies, such as Ebrahim Khalil Kanoo, Yousif Khalil Al Moayyed Sons, Montreal Motors, Trafco Group, Ceramica Delmon and Bahrain Limo, in addition to Ramez Group, UCO Marine Constructing, Mohammed Ali Zainal Co. (Maza), have made ‘Investment Gateway – Bahrain’ as their operating base to expand the company’s businesses.
