Al Massaleh Complex

The project is Apartment Hotel cum Retail Complex. The design challange for Al Massaleh Complex posed very complicated due to the introduction of two 30 story towers within an existing complex, which was required to be done flawlessly in order to preserve the powerful vision of the original design. Real Estate Solutions (RES) is assigned the Project Management services for Al Massaleh Project. RES successfully executed the design management ensuring that the design vision maintains the existing towers in their location. RES went through extensive geometric study for the project in order to make sure that the current views from the existing towers are not blocked by the new extension. This collaborative study resulted in the new towers deriving a ‘chiseled’ shape from the existing buildings and also preserved the views from all towers to Arabian Gulf with their 45 degree angle plan.

The new project extension will provide an additional 149 units to the existing 86 units bringing the total number to 235 units in addition to the podium shop area and additional parking spaces.

The new Hotel Apartment building, Tower A will have 90 units and the new Residential building Tower B will have 57 units. The complex will occupy the land in parallel and new development and renovation to the existing Massaleh complex. It is intended to be as a high quality Complex set with an idyllic gulf bay location with commanding views overlooking towards the city and the sea. The site offers a view into picturesque gulf ocean which contributes to the unique qualities of the area.

The project already passed the design phase and is approved by the client for tender and construction. The new design incorporates a mix of residential and commercial leisure use while retaining a relaxed and tranquil quality to the Complex. The design is a sensitive development that respects the local environment, traditions, materials and climate.
