Diyar Al Muharraq, one of the leading urban developers in Bahrain, welcomed on-site a delegation from the UK-based Prince’s Foundation for Building Community.

The delegation was invited by the Ministry of Housing to inspect the high standards of local development projects in Bahrain.  

David Toman, the CEO of the Prince’s Foundation for Building Community, and the rest of the visiting representatives arrived on-site escorted by officials from the Ministry of Housing, and were received by Hisham Almoayed, general manager of Diyar Homes at the Diyar Al Muharraq sales office.

The delegation was taken on a tour and given an overview of the Diyar Al Muharraq history, vision and projects. They also had the opportunity to view first-hand the ‘show’ villas set up for Diyar Homes and Deerat Al Oyoun.

Diyar Homes and the Deerat Al Oyoun projects are embodiments of Diyar Al Muharraq’s vision to offer high quality housing solutions that are affordable for the modern Bahraini family and cater to all their needs in terms of facilities, services and connectivity via a modern transportation network, the statement said.
 
Diyar Homes is located close to the entrance of Diyar Al Muharraq and Phase 1 of the project comprises 400 housing units, the majority of which have already been handed over to their respective owners. Deerat Al Oyoun is located in the heart of Diyar Al Muharraq on a land area of 1.2 million sq m with housing provisions for Bahrainis who are part of the Ministry of Housing’s Mazaya programme.
   
The Prince’s Foundation is an organization established by HRH The Prince of Wales over 25 years ago, with the purpose of teaching and demonstrating sustainable development through engagement, education and empowerment. Its purpose is to create healthy and prosperous communities for the future that can withstand the global challenges of urbanisation and climate change. To-date the Prince’s Foundation has successfully undertaken projects spanning Asia, Europe, Africa and the Americas.

Dr Maher Al Shaer, chief executive officer of Diyar Al Muharraq, said: “It gives us great pleasure to host members of such a reputed international organisation with over two decades of accomplishments in the field of sustainable development. Their interest in Diyar Al Muharraq endorses our commitment to creating a sustainable city to meet the future needs of Bahrain’s society. Since its inception, Diyar has sought to create enduring and thriving communities that enhance peoples’ quality of life; all our projects are guided by a sustainable development framework that runs through from designs, to construction and environmental responsibility.” - TradeArabia News Service
