Mr Ahmed Habib, Head of Sales - Porta Reef also said, 'Porta Reef is the first project to offer free-hold ownership on Reef Island.

Such brands include: Roche Bobois Bahrain, Purity Bahrain, Velleory & Boch Bahrain as well as Pogen Pol Bahrain - all of which offer packages to Porta Reef unit owners.'

The exclusive Porta Reef, a USD 90 million project, includes a trio of luxurious residential 10-storey towers with 2 and 3 bedroom apartments, as well as six premium penthouse units.  Porta Reef is the first freehold property to be available to buyers on Bahrain's Reef Island.

The towers comprise of 126 two bedroom, 57 three bedroom deluxe apartments, and six premium penthouse apartments that truly represent the definition of luxury.  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 equipped with the most innovative exercise equipment. A fully furnished model unit was launched in June this year for potential buyers and investors to view.

Meeting the highest international architectural specifications, each of the 189 units is fitted with the most contemporary, high-end kitchen appliances, lighting and other fit-outs, and comes with a choice of marble or parquet floorings.  Dedicated parking space is provided with shade for residents and visitors, accommodating up to 330 vehicles. 

Porta Reef also has a sea-front boardwalk as an upscale alternative to the traditional Corniche, and its courtyard gardens and children's playground situated between the three towers provide clean, open space for family living.

Reef Island is a strategic joint venture between the government of Bahrain and the Mouawad Group for Real Estate Development Company. It aims to attract high-net worth property investors from Bahrain as well as GCC residents who are looking for a distinctive second home.  The USD 1.25 billion freehold development project covers an area of just under 600,000 square meters, of which Porta Reef occupies just over 16,000 square meters.

Strategically positioned between the capital's new business and commercial district and Bahrain's International Airport, but with the exclusive privacy of its Reef Island enclave, Porta Reef offers the best of urban living with a timeless style.
