Marketing Features
There are 10 Apartment blocks and 1 serviced apartment
block in this development. The Serviced Apartments are
connected to the Hotel for central servicing and shared
use of club facilities. The apartments have direct views
towards the waterfront and new marina bay.
The Hotel and Serviced Apartments are located on the
nothern segment of the site separated by the new marina
bay to differentiate it from the rest of the development.
This allows for better security of its premises.
The Apartments are located at the waterfront edge and
command the best views in the development.
The Apartments benefit from a close relationship to
the office towers and retail shopping mall.
Each apartment block has a separate
car drop-off to the main lobby and are directly accessible
from the basement carparking underneath.
Apartments Concept
These are located on the side of the development facing
the creek. Nearly all apartments in this development overlook
of the waterfront. This is achieved by bringing water
into the site for the new marina bays, which increases
the waterfront considerably.
The apartments blocks are linear in nature. This encourage
cross ventilation through the apartments. The units are
accessed from single loaded corridors overlooking landscaped
courtyards (between 2 blocks of apartments). Duplex unit
layout provides for greater variety of space and more
access to facade with views by requiring only one access
corridor every 2 floors..
The ends of the apartment blocks cantilevers over the
waterfront edge. They house common facilities such as
the gymnasium, coffee house and function rooms on the
lower floors and special penthouse units on the upper
floors. These spaces are given special elevational treatment
to appear as beacons at night.
To maintain a relatively column-free space on the waterfront
promenade level, the internal apartment columns are supported
by a vierendeel trusses at the base of the apartment blocks,
on level 5. All plumbing services from the apartments
are diverted to service cores on this level.

Marketing Features
The Offices are located on the East side of the development
to take advantage of the road frontage. It is essential
that these offices are very visible from the surrounding
streets.
The office blocks sit above the retail
podium.
Each office block has a separate car
drop-off on the Lower Ground (promenade) level and are
directly accessible from the basement carparking underneath.
Office Concept
The offices are located above the retail podium. The
offices have their entrance and car drop-off lobbies
on the Lower Ground floor of the podium.
The lift cores are located on either
ends of the office building giving uninterrupted office
space for its tenants. The rectangular floor plan with
minimal columns allows maximum flexibility for the interior
partitioning of the floors. The elongated plan provides
for maximum natural lighting into the interior spaces.
High level links between office buildings
enable one to access the next block without having to
return to the ground floor lobby. This also facilitates
amalgamation of office spaces between blocks for office
expansion.

Marketing Features
The retail shopping centre directly faces Baniyas Road
and has its main entrances off the street level.
The roof of the shopping centre is landscaped with shopping
pavillions. They command panoramic views over the marina
and creek.
The carparking is located underneath the mall and are
directly accessible via escalators and lifts.
Retail Concept
The Retail Shopping Mall is designed to take advantage
of its waterfront location and to cater to the development
population mix of residents, tourists, marina users and
office workers.
The Shopping Mall will be anchored by a departmental store
and will contain a supermarket, an international food
court, speciality boating shops by the marina, outdoor
and indoor cafes/restaurants, souvenier shops, fashion
boutiques and other speciality shops.
The site for the mall was determined to be the optimum
location within the development because of the opportunity
for visual exposure on three sides and good vehicular
access. The mall is positioned between Baniyas Road and
the waterfront area to act as a visual and noise buffer.
Retail Strategy
The shopping mall has several porte cochere off the main
access road running parallel to Baniyas Road, facilitating
auto drop-off for shoppers. The mall has a striking facade
with a porous external skin, revealing in portions circulation
ramps, skycourts and the interiors of the shopping mall.
The facade suggests a hive of activities within the mall,
and draws visual interest and curiosity into the mall
from the main road.
The mall is linked to the surrounding apartments, offices
and hotel component of the development via a network of
landscaped pedestrian routes. These circulation networks
contribute to excellent access and exposure for retailers
from shoppers living or working within the complex.
Cars are brought into the shopping mall carpark on the
Lower Ground Floor and Basement 1 via wide car ramps on
each end of the shopping complex, and one at the center.
Once on the carpark level, shoppers drive along a lush
landscaped 'boulevard' with views to the waterfront to
their designated carparking areas. The entries to vertical
circulation escalators leading to the shopping level is
marked by large light wells. These light wells also function
as wind towers, drawing fresh air from the podium roof
level and extracting air from the basement.
The internal circulation within the shopping mall is organised
in a loop confiruration along the longitudinal axis of
the mall. A three-level departmental store, supermarket
and food court is located at one end of the loop while
speciality shops line the circulation loop. A central
skylit atrium provides the mall with a central focus and
gives the speciality retail shops visibility from every
floor. Special retail spaces leading to landscape mounds
on each floor are reserved for restaurant and cafes with
outdoor seating overlooking the marina.
Carparking
The carparking for this development is located on the
lower ground and basement levels due to space limitations
and height restrictions. Very little ground level parking
is provided and wher this is provided it is with dropping
VIP's, women and families in mind.
The top level of the carparking (lower ground floor) is
the drop off level for the offices. This level is semi
submerged and receives natural light and ventilatation.
It is served by a wide and spacious 'boulevard' road which
has views of the water.
