Marina Towers project is a residential complex in Beirut, Lebanon. It is located near the Beirut Marina and consists of a high-rise apartment building, Marina Tower, and two mid-rise apartment buildings, Marina Court and Marina Garden.
Designed by the renowned firm of architects Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, the Marina Towers project is built on over 7,000 sqm of land with the main tower reaching a staggering height of 150 metres.
The Marina Towers project is the biggest and most prestigious residential project on the Mediterranean sea and one that is a natural part of Beirut itself, boasting ultra luxurious simplex, duplex apartments and a penthouse with a private pool.
The project consists of three distinct elements, the Marina Tower, the Marina Garden; covering over 2000 sqm of land. Individually, each one is a testament to the progress of Beirut, yet when taken together as a whole, they provide the highest quality and most exclusive living environment Beirut has ever seen.

[edit] The Tower
The orientation of the Marina Tower is set on the radial axis of the harbor, emphasizing its vital link with the Beirut Western Marina.
A crescent shape has been used in the design of the structure to incorporate the naturally rounded forms of waterfront architecture and provide each of the apartments with dramatic panoramas to the sea, the mountains, the Beirut Central District Park and the Marina. The contemplative, clean-lined architecture consists of 26 floors that stretch 150m above sea level. The entire structure uses stone and glass with a combination of aluminum curtain walls and clear double-glazing that extends all the way to the top.
Residents with boats will benefit from the added convenience of a nearby floating slip that offers instant and spontaneous access to the high sea. In fact, with a mooring slip literally on ones doorstep, Marina Towers residents no longer have to travel even short distances to access international standard boating options.
[edit] The Garden
Directly adjacent to the Marina Tower is the refined Marina Garden, a tranquil area offering potential residents the choice of smaller, yet equally luxurious units that are set in an exclusive environment surrounded by the immediate lushness of over 3,000 sqm of gardens.
Here, views over the Beirut Western Marina and its waterfront epitomize affluent accommodation and yachting lifestyle virtually at the water's edge, all within a minute's walk of the bustling city centre.
[edit] The Court
As an alluring complement to the Tower and Garden, the Court offers a fresh and innovative space with smaller, more adaptable, modular surface areas that allow for a possible expansion by joining apartments.
Each apartment is stylishly designed, offering 3.4 meter high ceilings, glass walls, and trendy space management, intended to make the most of each square meter. The interior space and decorative finish of each apartment has been painstakingly designed to meet only the highest possible standards and only the best, quality-ensured materials have been used.
