What a tower, this is what we need. Looks to me around 200 m, somewhere in that region. Am wonderin where will this one be built in central Manama, somewhere near government avenue would be great, but I think maybe it'll be next to LuLu mall/behind the Regency area cause there is space there will on gov avenue, it's just about full. Hey nontheless, finally the skyline is gettin a real facelift.

Am wonderin, where did you get the article, didn't see it anywhere? A UAE newspaper online or website?

MBLD have recently been awarded the exterior lighting contract of the new Blue Pearl Tower in Bahrain. With a built-up area of 54,352 m2, the program incorporates 32 levels of prime office space. The Architects Cassia and Partners, see the tower embodying the dynamic atmosphere of Bahrain’s ongoing development with the intent to create an immediately recognizable visual icon for the city’s skyline.

I would like to see this one..... on the pearl island next to BFH and the City Center mall

I think it will be around ... 200-230 meters

I'll doubt that this will be on Lulu Island because I've seen the plan and they had another tower there, very nice one actually. I think this would be perfect somewhere near Gov Avenue but I don't think it'll be there, probably behind the Regency or somewhere there. It isn't clear from the render where it'll be located.

Bahraini Spirt,
You should post a thread of all the u/c and approved projects in Bahrain..

SKyFan, I've actually thought about it and Dubai-Lover brought it up before. I think let's wait till the summer when I'll be back home and I can get proper pics of these projects, so that overall the thread will be better and more informative. I think that'll be best. Thanks for the idea though
