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.
