Construction work on Phase 1 of the Deerat Al Oyoun project, an ambitious housing project, kicked off today (Aug 14) at Diyar Al Muharraq, a unique master planned city in Bahrain.

Deerat Al Oyoun project is spearheaded by the Ministry of Housing in support of the government’s efforts to alleviate the housing needs of the kingdom.

Top officials from Diyar Al Muharraq, one of the leading urban developers in Bahrain, joined key management representatives from the Ministry of Housing, to witness the start of work.

Diyar Al Muharraq is responsible for undertaking the financing and construction works on 3,100 units, its associated primary and secondary infrastructure and community centres.

Dr Maher Al Shaer, chief executive officer of Diyar Al Muharraq, stated: “Commencing construction on ‘Deerat Al Oyoun’ marks a significant milestone for both Diyar and the Ministry of Housing. Work on the project is now in full swing and we are determined to meet the construction schedule and agreed targets.

“We are also committed to implementing the highest construction standards to deliver a high quality project as per the Ministry’s mandate. Deerat Al Oyoun is one of the largest housing developments currently taking shape in the kingdom and we are proud to be part of this ambitious initiative that will ultimately serve to benefit our fellow citizens and enhance the quality of life,” said Dr Al Shaer.

Located in the heart of Diyar Al Muharraq, the Deerat Al Oyoun community will span across 1.2 million sq m and will comprise an ideal residential community with integrated community service centres and green park spaces. Its strategic location also places it in close proximity to schools, shopping malls, public beaches, recreational facilities, mosques, medical facilities, and a modern transportation network.

The residences of Deerat Al Oyoun will be constructed to the highest specifications to include thermal insulation, large living areas to allow the flow of natural light, parking space for two cars and provisions for future expansions. The overall design of the project has been inspired by the Bahraini neighbourhood, and aims to establish a close-knit community. The project also offers diverse styles of villas ranging from traditional, modern, Spanish, and Mediterranean, designed to maintain the expected level of privacy. - TradeArabia News Service
