Bahrain Bay Masterplan

Cundall was responsible for the masterplanning of the exclusive seafront of the Bahrain Bay Development, an ambitious mixeduse masterplan that will redefine the north Manama coastline.

The primary objective of the project was to provide a revised masterplan with a strong concept, focussing on the connectivity and links of the seafront plots while making use of their prime location. This included strategic reviews of existing traffic and utility distribution and redesign of all infrastructure.

The revised masterplan needed to work inside the existing ground floor area, consider the traffic impact assessment (TIA) and stay within the planned utility allocations for the areas, while maintaining the existing street layout.

The existing sellable plots were divided into smaller plots with the look and feel of both areas being a mixed-use urban district. It is also intended to serve as a model for future development throughout the region.
