The towers will feature a range of modern amenities and high-quality services, including a comprehensive health center, an infinity pool, specialized fitness facilities, a spa, and exquisite dining and relaxation options. Furthermore, residents will have exclusive access to the Water Garden City Marina and its accompanying beach, along with a lounge area offering fresh juices and healthy snacks.

"Onyx Water Garden" will include diverse facilities catering to the needs of all family members, such as co-working spaces, indoor and outdoor play areas for children, a children's pool, barbecue areas, a cinema, multi-purpose rooms, and entertainment zones. This project embodies modern luxury, benefiting from its strategic location near essential amenities and services in Seef District, providing easy access to everything one could desire in a refined and comfortable style.

On this occasion, Eng.

Regarding the agreements signed during the exhibition, Mr. Al Kooheji expressed his satisfaction in securing collaborations with the Mohamed Salahuddin Consulting Engineering Bureau, Bahrain Islamic Bank, and Al Salam Bank, all leaders in their respective sectors of engineering consultancy, banking, and financing. He emphasized that these agreements would enhance the project's appeal, establishing it as a premier destination for luxury living in the Kingdom.

Mr. Al Kooheji further stated: "Cityscape Bahrain provided an ideal opportunity for our company to showcase our latest projects, as it is the largest real estate exhibition in the Kingdom and one of the most renowned real estate events in the Middle East. This enabled us to promote the “Onyx Water Garden” project to a vast audience interested in acquiring luxury residential units for living or investment, which will significantly impact the sales rates of this project. We look forward to increasing our participation in various real estate events, both locally and regionally."

The project benefits from a strategic location, just 10 minutes from Bahrain International Airport and 25 minutes from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia via the King Fahd Causeway, making it an ideal residential destination for businesspeople in the region and beyond.
