Construction has begun on Marina Bay City on Lombok’s southern coastline. In a project update published on 4 July, Marina Bay City stated: “Initial building activity includes early-stage works on villa foundations, underground services and retaining structures. It’s the first time vertical progress will begin appearing on-site, turning outlines into reality.”
Early preparatory works began in May 2025 with road clearing, followed by geoelectric scanning, site surveys and drilling throughout June, ahead of the commencement of foundational construction works in early July.
Marina Bay City is a multi-district coastal development that includes residential and commercial precincts. The development also features a future international school, a canal and marina precinct, a flagship tower, health and wellness facilities, and a town centre with retail, dining and hospitality amenities.
Located 40 minutes from the Mandalika Special Economic Zone, Marina Bay City is positioned within a government-backed growth corridor benefiting from new infrastructure and improved airport access.
A previous version of this article stated, based on a report from The Bali Sun, that “the project is being led by Australian developers Jamie McIntyre and Adrian Campbell, CEO of Kinnara, who have confirmed investment plans in the region estimated at over $6 billion AUD ($3.9bn USD).” This claim was disputed by an official statement from PT Marina Bay Group & Kinnara Capital issued on 10 December 2025.
