Retail Complex at Riffa Views in Full Swing

Riffa Views, Bahrain’s premium golf residential development, is delighted to announce that the groundbreaking for the development’s retail center, Riffa Palms, was held today 15 February by the management of Riffa Views and Riffa Views International School Students.

The groundbreaking of Riffa Palms – which is being developed by private investment – marks another step in Riffa Views’ drive to create a unique lifestyle for its residents. The 1,500 sq m retail complex will be located at the entrance of the Oasis Estate and will house 13 outlets including food and beverage outlets, a gourmet supermarket, a bank, pharmacy and launderette amongst others. Surrounding Riffa Palms will be 900 sq m of beautifully landscaped public space complete with outdoor seating, large grassed areas suitable for small scale events and a car park able to accommodate over 60 cars.

Speaking on the groundbreaking, Yasser Abdulrahman Al-Raee, Managing Director of Riffa Views said: “The addition of Riffa Palms not only demonstrates our continued efforts to deliver on our promise to provide a complete lifestyle for our residents, but it also adds value to the overall community and creates a social hub where residents can get together with friends and family. Together with the Royal Golf Club, the existing food and beverage outlets, the Country Club, tennis courts and Riffa Views International School, Riffa Palms provides residents with the desirable and necessary facilities and amenities that they may require on a daily basis.”

“A retail center within the development will certainly make a wonderful addition as it will make life a bit more convenient, especially with the inclusion of a supermarket and bank. It will also be nice to be able to meet up with friends and neighbours and have a coffee without having to leave the development. The complex will really add to the overall community feel,” commented a resident of Riffa Views.

A family orientated modern-style retail center, the complex will serve the local community and visitors to the development. Designed by local architects Masthan Architects and Civil Engineers, the outer shell of the building is expected to be completed by the end of August with interior work beginning shortly thereafter.
