Leading real estate consulting firm CBRE has been appointed by Cooperation Investment House as the exclusive leasing agent for the United Tower, a key project in Bahrain Bay, a master-planned project in the heart of Bahrain's capital.

Located on the waterfront, the landmark development has been designed as a twisting structure rising from an octagonal floor plate, rotating counterclockwise and offers uninterrupted 360-degree views of the bay corniche and downtown Manama, said a statement.

Upon completion in the first quarter of next year, the 50-storey tower will house the Wyndham Grand Collection Manama, it said.

In addition to international hospitality, the property will also offer 20 floors of mixed-use development combining modern commercial office space and retail space.

Steve Mayes, director, sales and agency of CBRE Bahrain, said: “United Tower is a landmark development in the kingdom and with its prime location at the Bahrain Bay waterfront community, and superior build quality, it is sure to attract high-profile occupiers. We look forward to working closely with the team to support and develop its long-term strategies for the project.”

Ahmed Al Qaed, managing director, Cooperation Investment House, said: “United Tower will offer tenants an exceptional work environment, ideal for businesses requiring a presence in the kingdom. With this mixed-use development, we aim to cater to the growing demand for commercial space among global and local companies.

“We are confident that with our strong management coupled with CBRE’s strong local and international experience we will be able to deliver strong results for this asset.” - TradeArabia News Service
