Kooheji Development has consistently demonstrated its dedication to delivering top-tier real estate projects. By adhering to strict quality standards and embracing innovative design and construction practices, the company ensures that each development reflects its mission of elevating the real estate sector in Bahrain. 

Onyx Rotana and Residences are prime examples of how Kooheji Development integrates luxury, functionality and sustainability to set new benchmarks in the industry.

How do you ensure that every project aligns with its mission to elevate the real estate sector in Bahrain and set new standards for quality and innovation?
The company employs a meticulous approach to project planning and execution, incorporating advanced technologies and sustainable practices. By fostering collaborations with top-tier architects, designers and contractors, Kooheji Development ensures that every aspect of our projects meets our high standards. Regular audits, quality checks and feedback loops further guarantee that each project not only meets but exceeds client and market expectations.

Why was Rotana chosen as the operator for Onyx Rotana and Residences and what qualities make it an ideal partner?
Rotana was chosen as the brand for Onyx Rotana and Residences due to its status as one of the top and most successful hotel operators in the region. Their deep understanding of the local culture and values aligns seamlessly with the vision of Onyx Rotana and Residences. Rotana’s proven track record in the hospitality industry, marked by a tailored approach and the successful operation of numerous hotels across the region, makes them an ideal partner for this prestigious development.

This prime location enhances the appeal of Onyx Rotana, providing residents and guests with unparalleled access to the best that Bahrain has to offer.

How has the presence of both residential and hotel towers influenced the design and operational aspects of the project?
Integrating residential and hotel towers within the same development required a thoughtful approach to both design and operations. Shared facilities and amenities, such as fitness centres, pools and concierge services, are designed to cater to the needs of both residents and hotel guests. This dual-functionality necessitates efficient space planning and seamless service management to maintain high standards for all occupants.
