Alistair McMillan, Managing Partner at BSBG, expressed pride in being entrusted with the project, stating that the firm aims to deliver an architectural vision that embodies innovation, connectivity and design excellence, while setting a new benchmark for smart and sustainable urban development in the region. 

Development of the wider Digital City project is progressing actively, with efforts underway to secure end-users and tenants for the third ring of Trio Park, completing Phase 1 of the development. The design vision emphasises the benefits of business clustering to enable connectivity, shared services and innovation, while delivering a world-class workplace environment.

Digital City Bahrain represents a forward-looking approach to urban development, moving beyond traditional real estate models to create a purpose-built technology and innovation ecosystem. The development is designed to drive ICT sector growth in Bahrain and aligns closely with national digital transformation and economic diversification objectives, supported by advanced smart infrastructure and strong environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles.

The development of Trio Park will anchor the Digital City ecosystem and establish the architectural and experiential benchmark for a community that blends intelligent design, sustainability and innovation, redefining the future of work and living in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
