Construction has begun on Marina Bay City on Lombok’s southern coastline. Announcing the beginning of construction work at the site on 12 July, Marina Bay City said: “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.”
The first stage of construction commenced in May 2025, with road clearing, testing for water, scanning land and pegging having been previously completed.
The project is a coastal development which aims to establish a mixed-use community featuring residential, commercial and lifestyle facilities designed to support the area’s growing tourism and urban needs.
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. These factors are expected to support the development’s long-term sustainability.
Central to the estate is Marina Bay Resort & Villas, a beachfront precinct with a combination of private residences and resort-style accommodation. Buyers currently have access to pre-launch pricing with anticipated handovers set to begin as stages are completed.
The development’s design features sustainable building practices and smart infrastructure, alongside an internationally accessible marina for yachts and charter vessels. Amenities include retail centres, wellness and healthcare facilities, co-working spaces and international school.
Construction is supported by a partnership with WIKA Gedung (WEGE), an Indonesian public company known for its sustainable and innovative construction methods, including modular and precast technologies. WEGE is expected to contribute to international construction standards while advancing the project’s environmental objectives.
On the marketing side, Kinnara operates as a partner with a global platform across 76 digital channels in 44 countries to reach potential buyers worldwide, supporting international market engagement and property sales.
According to The Bali Sun, 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).
