Housing and Urban Planning Minister Amna bint Ahmed Al Rumaihi has announced the launch of the second phase of the Advanced Generation Residential Buildings Project in Madinat Salman, marking another milestone in Bahrain’s ongoing housing development efforts.

The new phase will add 432 ownership apartments to the city’s housing supply, following the successful completion of the first phase, which delivered 1,382 units.

Speaking during the announcement, Al Rumaihi said the ministry remains committed to implementing housing initiatives aligned with the Government Programme (2023–2026). The plan, she explained, is supported by His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and directed by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, with the aim of expanding housing options and accelerating the delivery process for Bahraini citizens.

Construction work on the new phase has already begun, with 72% of the foundation work completed, according to the minister. She said that modern construction technologies are being utilised to ensure efficiency and durability. The buildings, she added, are based on contemporary architectural designs used in the previous phase, with additional amenities such as commercial services, parking facilities, and landscaped green spaces.

Al Rumaihi also highlighted the project’s focus on sustainability, noting that it integrates energy- and water-efficient systems, as well as the use of eco-friendly materials. “The project incorporates sustainability standards through energy- and water-efficient systems, eco-friendly materials, and modern Bahraini architectural façades,” she said.

She further revealed that beneficiary feedback from the first phase had been considered in the design of the new units, ensuring that the apartments are more suited to the needs of Bahraini families. “Feedback from beneficiaries has been integrated into the new designs to better meet family needs,” Al Rumaihi said.

Confirming steady progress, the minister assured that the project remains on schedule and that all apartments will be allocated to citizens in a timely manner once construction is complete.
