The complex will be surrounded by a beautiful garden decorated with waterfront art, sculptures and fountains. The area offers public spaces for outdoor relaxation and social activities, and will include a central plaza as "town center" supported by stores and cafes located around the development. A picturesque promenade encircles not only the Marasy residential compound but the entire Bateen cove.
