All of the countries have been touched positively in one way or another because of the housing boom that has gone on in the Persian Gulf and of course when housing booms occur, many property development companies reap the benefits of those booms along with individual investors.
One case in point in the Bahrain situation is the First Bahrain Real Estate Development Company. They currently possess a paid up capital of over $100 million and they are now expanding their services by opening offices in both Bahrain and Kuwait.
These openings are on the back of an announced $450 million project that the company has invested in within the borders of Bahrain. This mixed-used development will get a lot of play in the country's housing market and once completed it will catapult the company to bigger projects in the future.
They are not the only ones to benefit from the Bahrain boom however, with other companies such as Asteco also seeing some very impressive gains. Their principle project, the Suskoon Tower, has attracted major interest from international buyers, with a fifth of the apartments being sold in one single 24-hour period. Suskoon is located in the heart of Bahrain along with many of the other prime real estate ventures and it is for this reason that the building has garnered a lot of interest.
However, property development companies have not been the only winners from the boom in Bahrain. Property investors on an individual basis have also done very well in the country, with many of them discovering the country only after taking a look at the rest of the Middle East. Bahrain’s property market has been kind to overseas investors and it is expected to remain kind to them for quite some time to come.
The bottom line is if you are interested in investing in the Bahrain property market, now is definitely the time to do it.
