Construction Progress & Views (8 June)

(Above) The Marina apartments. Viewed from the Al Hamra Fort Hotel, buildings A-E (right to left) are visible. Hidden is building F (behind the left most building pictured). Building G, to complete the set of seven apartment buildings is at the early stages of foundations work.

(Above) View from the ground floor balcony in Building F. Note that the ground floor is on an elevated foundation allowing a sea-view in the distance. The open beach front stretches some 100-200 meters out. This will presumably be landscaped, with an access road running across it, but without any buildings that might otherwise obstruct views, except perhaps for a small beach cabana. Off to the left of the view shown, however, is to be built a villa for the sheikh who manages the development.

(Above) Looking from the balcony across the width of Building F on the ground floor. The outline of a studio unit can be seen to the corridor, and across outward through the opposite side of the structure. The bedroom/living and kitchen areas appear in the foreground.

(Above) Looking at the full floorplan of a ground-floor studio unit (G-06) toward the seaview. In the forground are the entrance (left) and bathroom (right), kitchen area, living/bedroom area and balcony.

(Above) View from the first floor balcony (one level above ground floor). Notice an exteneded sea view.

(Above) View to the right from the 1st floor of Building F at the foundation platform for building G. Notice the elevation and angle of the foundation, allowing for some sea views. Beyond Building G will be further construction of Phase 3 of Al Hamra resort including golf course lawns and villas.


(Above) View from the rear or parking lot side of Building F first floor , showing temporary workers' accommodations in the foreground, the bay and villas in the background.

(Above) Same view as above zoomed in on the villa development across the bay.
