Porta Reef Real Estate Development Company has completed a show model unit for investors and unit owners to view.

It is located on the first floor of the 3rd Tower of the Porta Reef, the three-tower project on Reef Island.

Fawaz Ali Al Jowder, chairman - Porta Reef, said: '"We are delighted to see that the project is ahead of schedule and progress is significant."

The model unit wlll allow future residents and owners to visualise and plan what they can do with their own units.

Ahmed Habib, head of sales, added that the model unit has been furnished in association with Roche Bobois, the well-known international brand in luxury living and will feature a variety of options for layout and kitchens as well as other facilities available in the apartment.

Porta Reef, a $90 million project, includes a trio of residential 10-storey towers with two and three bedroom apartments, as well as six premium penthouse units. Porta Reef is the first freehold property to be available to buyers on the development.

The towers comprise of 126 two bedroom, 57 three bedroom deluxe apartments and six premium penthouse apartments that aim to represent the 'definition of luxury', according to the developers. Each unit also has a balcony and residents will have access to a sea-view swimming pool and Jacuzzi, as well as separate gym facilities for men and women.

Each of the 189 units will be fitted with contemporary, high-end kitchen appliances, lighting and other fittings and will come with a choice of marble or parquet floorings. Dedicated, shaded parking spaces will be provided for residents and visitors, accommodating up to 330 vehicles.

Porta Reef also has a sea-front board walk as an alternative to the traditional Corniche, and will boast courtyard gardens and a children's playground situated between the three towers providing clean, open space for families.

Reef Island is a joint venture between the government of Bahrain and the Mouawad Group for Real Estate Development Company. It aims to attract property investors from Bahrain as well as GCC residents who are looking for a distinctive second home.

The $1.25 billion freehold development project covers an area of just under 600,000 square metres, of which Porta Reef occupies just over 16,000 square metres.

Strategically positioned between the capital's new business and commercial district and Bahrain International Airport, the privacy of the Reef Island enclave, Porta Reef should offer the 'best of urban living with a timeless style', say the developers.
