RIFFA Views Signature Estates this week held a ground-breaking ceremony to announce the beginning of construction on the second of its Signature Estates, The Lagoons.
The contract was awarded to GPZ-Sembawang, a joint venture between local contractor GPZ and Singaporean engineering and construction giant Sembawang.
The Lagoons Estate will comprise 258 two and three bedroom townhouses along with four and five bedroom luxury villas, which will be completed by mid-2009.
Construction on the first of Riffa Views Estates, The Oasis, began in March, and with The Lagoons now under construction, more than two thirds of the residences within Bahrain’s residential golf development are under way for completion.
Riffa Views Signature Estates CEO Richard Browning said: “Today’s milestone represents a great achievement in the overall progress of Riffa Views.
“We selected GPZ-Sembawang based on their local knowledge combined with international expertise, to ensure world-class quality and on time completion and delivery to our residents. With The Lagoons and The Oasis Estates both under construction, the countdown has begun for residents to enjoy the Riffa Views lifestyle.”
In comparison with The Oasis Estate, which combines the splendour of the tranquil desert with the calming cool of shaded and green areas, the contemporary architectural style of The Lagoons’ homes is completely unique for Bahrain, since the Estate is set within a tropical landscape. The Lagoons is located between The Park and The Oasis Estates, and incorporates tumbling rock falls, meandering lakes and stunning water features.
