    INVESTING in BAHRAIN Property Tax & Market Insight

    INVESTING IN BAHRAIN Property tax & market insight Autumn 2017 Investing in Bahrain – Property tax & market insight Contents 3 Introduction 4 Bahrain residential property market snapshot 5 Bahrain commercial property market snapshot 6 Considerations for investing in Bahrain Introduction Cluttons has partnered with Trowers & Hamlins to produce a guide to investing in the property market in Bahrain. This has been a cross team effort, working with Trowers & Hamlins in Bahrain to simplify the obligations for those investing in the Kingdom’s residential and commercial markets. The document also includes an update on the residential and office markets in Bahrain and aims to provide a quick and easily digestible resource for all investors and purchasers. Undoubtedly, as we enter the fourth year since the shock collapse in oil values, Bahrain is still working its way through a challenging period, with positive Government intervention programmes being rolled out across the Kingdom. The benefits of this intervention are being dampened somewhat by a slight widening in the country’s GDP-to-debt ratio, however there are some encouraging signs emerging. The Government is putting the pieces of its vision for Bahrain into place and we are already seeing this in many segments of the economy. For instance, with the aid of the GCC Support Fund, the non-oil sector has remained buoyant, growing by 3.7% last year, lifted by wide-ranging infrastructure and construction projects around Bahrain (Oxford Economics). In fact, in early August, the Economic Development Board (EDB) announced that some USD 80 billion worth of construction and infrastructure projects are currently underway or planned for Bahrain, which is expected to help underpin economic growth over the short to medium term.

    Steering Committee Meetings

    Aga Khan Award for Architecture 2019 W INNING P ROJECTS Revitalisation of Muharraq Muharraq, Bahrain Patron: Sheikha Mai Bint Mohammed Al Khalifa, Manama, Bahrain Project director: Noura Al Sayeh, Manama, Bahrain Project description The pearling industry was historically crucial to Bahrain’s economy, with the former capital Muharraq as its global centre. Following the development of cultured pearls in the 1930s, the town went into decline and Manama rose to become capital through oil wealth. Muharraq’s indigenous population was largely replaced by migrant workers, mostly single males sharing rented accommodation. Initiated as a series of restoration and adaptive reuse of a number of edifices under the Sheikh Ebrahim Centre for Culture and Research, the project evolved into a comprehensive programme entitled Pearling Path, Testimony of an Island Economy involving various architects, planners and researchers. The project both highlights the town’s pearling history and aims to re-balance its demographic makeup, enticing local families back through improvements to the environment and provision of community and cultural venues. Facilitated by private–public partnerships, it involves the preservation of a number of sites and numerous buildings, from humble divers’ houses to prestigious courtyard residences to commercial warehouses; plus the upgrading of other façades, and the construction of four new buildings. All of these are connected through a visitor pathway, with vacant plots left by demolitions landscaped as public spaces. The preservation/restoration of the traditional buildings included reinstating lost wind towers for natural climate control. The materials employed match the originals – notably coral stone reused from demolished structures, and wood. Terrazzo, which became popular in the area in the 1940s for flooring, is utilised extensively for street furniture, and contains flecks of oyster shell.
