The Physical Planning Directorate has finalised the master plan of Al Amwaj Islands, a real-estate project at the northeastern tip of Muharraq Island, paving the way for investors to start the construction of the diverse projects.

"The final plan includes zones for 5-20 storey investment towers and 3-storey waterfront villas. Other zones include hotels, shopping centres, a special area for restaurants and cafs and other touristic activities. The Tala Island will have villas, chalets and apartments of varied floor areas," said the acting head of the directorate, Khalid Ahmed Al Ansari.

The project is designed and patterned after residential marina projects conceptualised and constructed by world famous architect Bernard Spoerry, son of naval architect Francois Spoerry, founder and builder of Port Grimmaud, renowned marina neighbourhood located near St. Tropaz, France.
