Bahrain’s Municipalities and Agriculture Ministry has issued a Letter of Intent (LoI) to Bokhowa Contracting for the BD3 million ($7.9 million) project to revitalise the Manama suq area.
Set to begin within a month, and expected to be completed in 18 months, the project will include demolition of some of the existing buildings and the creation of a public square with facilities such as coffee shops on Bab Al Bahrain Avenue.
It will also include developing the facades of the buildings on Bab Al Bahrain and Al Mutanabi roads, all the way to the Traders Road.
The renovation will cover a total area of 250,000 sq m, stretching from Bab Al Bahrain to Shaikh Abdulla Avenue, and from Shaikh Isa Avenue to the Manama Municipal Council building.
