BD 3.5 million Hamad Town traditional market gets going

Designs of the BD 3.5 million Hamad Town traditional market project, planned on land leased for 35 years, has been completed, the Works Ministry said. The project, which faced cancellation and re-tendering at least twice since 2010, is being handled by Bahrain-based The Malls Real Estate Development company. Works Ministry will receive an annual benefit for leasing the site, which earlier reports said was a plot in Block 1212 on Shaikh Hamad Avenue. The Mall Real Estate Development Company is solely responsible for establishing and operating the market, Essam Khalaf, the Minister of Works, Municipalities and Urban Planning, said The ministry, he said, is pursuing the same strategy they adopted for the development of the Muharraq Central Market. Hamad Town market with a built area of 12,303 square meters, the minister said, will serve the needs of the people in the western and northern regions of the country. The project calls for building a central market section, three main sections, a section for vegetable, another for selling fish and meat, and shopping spaces. The design, the minister said, took into account the traditional aspects of the markets in the Kingdom, but with a modern touch taking cues from the Muharraq
