Costing $1.5 billion and covering an area of 380,000 square metres, the two main Harbour Towers were officially opened in May 2007.

The majority of the project, like the nearby Bahrain Bay, is being constructed on reclaimed land on the former site of the Manama pier.

However, construction of the rest of the project including the Bahrain Performance Centre, residential Diamond Tower and Villamar apartment buildings was delayed largely due to the Great Recession.

The towers are 54, 43 and 52 storeys high and boast 437 apartments, 52 villas, and 17 penthouses in addition to a health club and restaurants.

In 2016, Gulf Finance House Financial Group announced that work on the towers would recommence in the same year.
