Aswaq Al Heli Company has won the bid to build the first major supermarket in Madinat Salman. The project, backed by Eskan Bank, is valued at around BD1.004 million and will occupy a plot measuring approximately 1,540 square metres. The development comes amid a noticeable lack of commercial shops across the city.

Demand

The supermarket is intended to meet rising demand for basic retail services among both residents and citizens.

Construction follows a sharp rise in activity across Madinat Salman since the start of the year.

Twenty-eight new shops are to be built in Complexes 583 and 580, according to plans already in motion.

Space has also been set aside for five tourism ventures on the city’s waterfront, along with areas marked for car repair garages.

Separate to these commercial schemes, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning has rolled out a large-scale housing project in the city
