Financial Harbour CEO takes charge
MANAMA: Alex Craine has taken charge as the chief executive of Bahrain Financial Harbour, responsible for managing the Harbour Towers offices, Harbour Gate commercial and social hub and the Bahrain Financial Harbour district.
He is also the new chairman of EFS Facilities Services Bahrain.
Mr Craine is a 30-year veteran of the real estate industry, having spent the last 11 years in the Middle East after starting his career in the UK.
His broad range of experience includes work as a real estate consultant across the GCC at CBRE, running a 25,000 unit mixed portfolio at Dubai Asset Management and managing in-house corporate real estate at ADNOC, the UAE’s largest company.
“I am excited to join such a vibrant community and to drive our focus on quality services and customer experience. Harbour Towers is at the heart of business life in Bahrain with over 100 occupiers in 25 different industries ranging from the media and technology sector through to banking and finance,” commented Mr Craine.
He added that new enquiries for space are at a three-year high driven by significant investment in brand new fit-out of the office space enhancing the appeal of the efficient floor plates and world-class infrastructure.
With the delivery of 1,000 residential units, two hotels, and new food and beverage concepts due to open in the next 12 months, Bahrain Financial Harbour is also becoming a premier lifestyle destination, said Mr Craine.
