MANAMA, BAHRAIN – 22 July 2014 – Dilmuina at Bahrain earned the Best Visual Identity award at the 2014 Transform MENA Awards in recognition of its strategic and creative visual brand positioning. Dilmunia is a project of master developer Ithmaar Development Company (IDC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ithmaar Bank, a Bahrain-based Islamic retail bank.
Dilmunia is a mixed-use project built on a man-made island off the coast of Muharraq. With a unique Health and Wellness anchor, Dilmunia will include residences, hotels, leisure and shopping districts, and provide residents and visitors with state-of-the-art wellness facilities and spas in a resort-type environment. Infrastructure works for the USD 1.6 billion development commenced in early 2013, and the three residential projects launched within Dilmunia since have reported exceptionally positive sales. Dilmunia’s commitment to excellence has made it a sought after location for Bahrainis and expats alike.
