Global real estate advisor CBRE has been exclusively appointed by Bahrain’s Future Generation Reserve Fund (FGF) as the Future Generation Reserve Tower’s property manager and leasing consultant.
Strategically located on the waterfront, overlooking Bahrain Financial Harbour and Bahrain Bay, the Future Generation Reserve Tower is a 38-floor mixed-use high-specification development with a gross built area of approximately 63,000 square metres on a plot area of 12,000 square metres. The under-construction property will provide office space, F&B outlets, dedicated car parking and other modern facilities. The tower is set to become a new financial icon for Bahrain as the headquarters of the Future Generation Reserve Fund. It will lead the way in sustainability as a registered project for LEED certification. As well as accommodating key government entities, the remainder of the prime office space will be available to private entities for lease.
H.E. Yusuf Abdulla Alhumood, FGF Board Deputy Chairman & Financial Affairs Undersecretary at Bahrain’s Ministry of Finance and National Economy and Richard Botham, Senior Director & General Manager of CBRE Bahrain, signed the property and facilities management agreement agreement. The signing ceremony was also attended by H.E. Shaikh Ali Salman Alkhalifa, CEO of Future Generation Reserve; Ahmed Abdulaziz Alhamar, Director of Future Generation Reserve; Ciaran Lynch, Director of CBRE Bahrain and Heather Longden, Director of CBRE Bahrain.
Richard Botham said: “CBRE is honoured to work with the Future Generation Reserve Fund and Bahrain’s Ministry of Finance and National Economy on the new Future Generation Reserve Tower. The property will become a new landmark in Bahrain Bay and open up significant prospects for the Kingdom’s real estate sector. The office space and experience offered to prospective occupiers are set to raise the bar regarding quality and service levels. It is fascinating that the project is registered to be LEED-certified, as ESG has become an essential consideration for corporates when selecting their office accommodation. We look forward to managing the property by international standards and best practices reflecting the aspirations for this market-leading project in Bahrain.”
