Porta Reef was the first freehold property to be available to buyers on Bahrain’s Reef Island and continues to be a popular draw for home-seekers and investors alike.
 
The $1.25 billion man-made Reef Island, located between Seef and Manama, covers an area of just under 600,000sq/m, of which Porta Reef occupies just over 16,000sq/m.

Reef Island has also attracted GCC residents looking for a distinctive second home thanks to its impressive designs and range of amenities. Andreas Urban, an agent at Star Real Estate, said: “Where to start? This development has one of the highest specifications of any property location in Bahrain, from the doors to the floors, everything is of the best quality and mostly imported from Europe.

“Lately, we have had a lot of movement in Porta Reef with both purchases and rentals. It is particularly ideal for anyone working in the city or in the Seef area. The close proximity to work and shops is what makes this development stand out. The soon to be opened restaurants, only a short stroll away, will surely add to the attraction.

“The sale of the month and a real steal in my opinion, at only BD118,000, is a fully furnished one bedroom flat on one of the higher levels featuring great views. It is excellent to live in or for investment purposes.”

Porta Reef’s towers comprise of 51 two-bedroom, 93 three-bedroom deluxe apartments and six premium penthouse apartments. 

Amenities include a swimming pool with a sea view, a Jacuzzi and two gyms. There are plans for a private beach, restaurants, retail outlets and an exclusive yacht club within the development.

Porta Reef will also include a sea-front corniche, a playground for children and a courtyard between the three towers. There is parking to accommodate 330 vehicles with shaded spaces for residents and visitors.
