ORA Developers appoints AtkinsRéalis to master plan waterfront project BAYN

Global real estate company ORA Developers has announced engineering and design firm AtkinsRéalis as its choice to masterplan the upcoming waterfront community Y Views at BAYN, a new development in the UAE’s Ghantoot. 

The Canada-headquartered consultancy will oversee the master planning, infrastructure, and public realm design services for the project.  

Bayn, part of the 4.8 million square meter luxury community, has previously announced the addition of a 204-berth marina. It features a 1.2 km private beach waterfront, a five-star resort, and a dining promenade. The community is set to offer residential and commercial spaces.

BAYN is located in the UAE’s Ghantoot community, situated between Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

“BAYN reflects ORA’s ambition to create a waterfront destination shaped by a clear and considered approach to how people experience the spaces they’re in. From the outset, our priority is to carry the clarity of our long-term vision into precise, efficient, and high-quality design, that feels grounded, connected to its natural setting, and responsive to everyday life,” said Amr Abdel Moneim, Chief Technical Officer at ORA Developers. 

“Projects such as BAYN reflect the direction in which waterfront communities across the region are evolving, shaped around how people live, move, and connect over time. Conceived as a coherent coastal destination, BAYN brings together landscape, infrastructure, and community life within a single long‑term vision,” added Matthew Tribe, Senior Vice President – Buildings and Places, AtkinsRéalis Middle East and Africa.
