Eagle Hills Diyar has broken ground on Marassi Galleria, its 200,000sqm shopping and entertainment destination located within the Marassi Al Bahrain mega project. The mall will offer a range of entertainment options and is expected to bring several new brands to the country for the first time.
The ground-breaking ceremony took place in the presence of Shaikh Salman bin Abdulla Al Khalifa, the head of Survey and Land Registration Bureau, Mohamed Alabbar, the chairman of Eagle Hills, Abdulhakeem Al Khayyat, the vice chairman of Eagle Hills Diyar and Dr Maher Al Shaer, the MD of Eagle Hills Diyar.
“Today’s ceremony marks the beginning of the construction of this major project which is at the heart of Marassi Al Bahrain. We are proud to be here today to mark the commencement of the works on the highly-anticipated Marassi Galleria, the 200,000-sq-m gateway to the region’s leading shopping and entertainment experience, a key anchor within the Marassi Al Bahrain masterplan,” said Alabbar.
According to a statement, Marassi Galleria will host five interconnected lifestyle urban districts, each with a theme tailored to suit a variety of tastes: the High Street, Family Plaza, Waterfront Dining Promenade, an Animated Rooftop and the Luxury Courtyard. The project will also house a multi-screen cinema, an ice rink and aquarium – the developer says the mall will provide ‘customers of all ages with an experience like no other’.
Dr Al Shaer added, “As the first waterfront mall, Marassi Galleria is set to become one of the leading tourism, hospitality and shopping destinations within the Kingdom. We are confident that upon its completion, it will fulfil an untapped demand for unique leisure offerings, as it will be a world-class shopping and entertainment destination located in the centre of Marassi Al Bahrain.”
