The Bahrain market has largely slowed this year following its civil protests earlier this year and a general slump in real estate in the wake of the financial crisis. The Sukoon Tower project in Juffrair in Manama, developed by Tashyeed Properties, has been on hold since March, sources onsite told CW.
