Bahrain Bay has appointed a new CEO, Robert Lee, pictured right, to lead the management and development team through the next phase in the project’s progress.
He joins Bahrain Bay with 25 years of real estate investment experience including development, investment, sales and marketing, asset management and advisory. His portfolio of past projects includes green-field city planning, large-scale mixed-use development, institutional/infrastructure, leisure and hospitality, and retail & entertainment.
Since arriving in the Gulf in early 2000, Mr Lee has held senior executive positions at leading real estate companies in the Middle East, where he was instrumental in bringing iconic projects, such as Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah, to their successful fruition. His challenge now is to help deliver the kingdom’s latest waterfront community project.
“I’m proud to have this opportunity to continue to establish Bahrain Bay as the premier real estate project in the country,” he said. “I plan to unite all stakeholders under a common vision and continue to deliver the top-level results Bahrain Bay is renowned for, within the time-budget-quality constraints. All the excellent progress achieved until now will serve as a perfect foundation for the exciting future the project has lined up for this year and beyond.”
Welcoming Lee to the development, deputy CEO Abdulla Al Doseri said: “Mr Lee joins us at an important time in Bahrain Bay’s progress with the project moving into its next chapter of delivery. With four third party developers already on site, and more due in 2012, Mr Lee’s expertise will be invaluable to the ongoing success of the development.”
Lee replaces former Bahrain Bay CEO Bob Vincent, who will continue to work closely with Bahrain Bay in his new role with Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay.
