With the Kingdom of Bahrain being one of the frontrunners in terms of the economic growth in the Middle East, BFH was the natural route for us to enter Bahrain. Considering that our business is that of providing high-quality office space for businesses which need it, we could not have chosen a more high-profile building with a dynamic business environment, than the one which BFH has to offer. Our choice stands vindicated by the strong global response that BFH has elicited.
