ECG was awarded the contract to compile the master plan as well as design and assume construction supervision responsibilities for the mega-project Marassi located on the North Coast of Egypt.

Overlooking the glorious view of Sidi AbdelRahman Bay, Marassi is a 6 km waterfront community that unfolds a year-round upscale residential, tourism, leisure, and commercial lifestyle development lining the Mediterranean Sea coast. Spread over a land area of 6.25 million sq m, the project features seven waterfront residential districts inspired by various architectural styles including that of Andalusian, Santa Barbara, Tuscan, Formal Italian, and Spanish Colonial.

Offering a built-up area of 1.85 million sq m, Marassi features an 18-hole golf course, a marina, spas, a town and commercial center, and a number of public services. Strong focus is devoted to the establishment of convention facilities and accommodation amenities via eight major hotel establishments.

Strategically positioned on the Alexandria/Marsa Matrouh international coastal highway, the project's accessibility network is reinforced through key tourist attractions such as the city of Alexandria and the historic town of ElAlamein. Burj ElArab and ElAlamein Airports also foster further links to the development.

Two world-class beach clubs offer the development's residents a string of recreational outlets including magnificently landscaped panoramas. ECG is acting as the local architectural consultant for one of those beach clubs: the 20,000 sq m Moroccan-style Marassi Beach Club House Project. With a built-up area of approximately 9,000 sq m, the beach club calls for the accommodation of indoor/outdoor lounges; a 240-person restaurant with large terraces; a children's playground; an outdoor barbeque area; outdoor swimming pools for adults and children; lockers and changing rooms; fitness center and gymnasium; beach shops; and a multi-purpose room for celebrations and sales events.
