The much-awaited Avenues, located on the northern shores of the capital, is set to open next February, officials stated.

The BD45 million project will boast of a 1.5 kilometre seafront and 75,000 square metre of greeneries, landscapes and public parks.

The project will be established on a 270,000 square metre space and would accommodate 1,400 vehicles. 

It will also include spacious playgrounds, walking and jogging tracks, a gym, restaurants, coffee shops and cinemas.

The move was recently announced by the Works, Municipalities Affairs and Urban Planning Ministry’s Joint Municipal Services Undersecretary Raed Al Salah during his visit to the project’s site on King Faisal Highway, near Bahrain Bay.

Al Salah said the mall would serve the country’s family tourism schemes and is considered among the leading developmental projects in the Kingdom.

During the inspection visit to the site, the Undersecretarty recalled the laying of the foundation stone by Deputy Prime Minister Shaikh Khalid bin Abdulla Al Khalifa last September, adding that the project is supervised by King Faisal Corniche Development Company.

During his visit, Al Salah met the concerned parties and discussed the technical sides of the project and the difficulties that could deter the progress of the work.
