A trip into the Sahara Desert, trick-or-treat for kids at a Halloween Party and a Christmas Party in a Piazza – many would struggle to grasp the connection between these events, but not the first 150 tenants to live within the luxurious surroundings of Palm City, Mediterranean Investments Holding plc’s landmark project in Janzour, Libya.
With over 100 units already occupied by incoming expatriates, Palm City is truly living up to its promise of delivering a unique lifestyle to those living within its boundaries and these events are just a taste of what is in store for its residents.
Three and a half years since the first stone was laid, over half the units in Palm City have already been handed over to the Palm City team which now also boasts a Customer Services Executive, Head Housekeeper, Food & Beverage Manager, an Executive Chef and a fully-staffed security operation.
Whilst constantly focusing on new arrivals averaging five families a week, the Palm City team is gearing up for the opening of public area facilities which will complement the stunning fully-furnished residences. Many of the sports facilities are already available with 4 tennis courts and a football pitch already being utilised and the introduction of a Palm City “Soccer School” as from January 2010. The indoor swimming pool, squash court, Sauna/Jacuzzi area and gymnasium will be opened during the first quarter of 2010.
The Christmas party which took place on 12th December was the perfect occasion for Palm City to introduce the culinary concepts on offer inside the village. Led by Kurt Micallef and supported by Executive Chef Christopher Bonnici, the Food & Beverage team will be running two restaurants, “Movida” & “Slush” whilst monitoring a third outlet leased to a third-party operator.
“Movida” and “Slush” will be the heart and soul of Palm City once these are up and running in within the next few weeks. Located right on Palm City’s superbly landscaped outdoor pool and private sandy beach, “Movida” will offer a mixture of Mediterranean and Arabic dishes whilst “Slush” will introduce an adventurous “build your own” concept where the diners will be able to build their own dish from ingredients on the menu. The third restaurant, “Lamma”, an all-day diner inside the main Piazza will for the early risers at breakfast and serve a variety of dishes until evening.
Large multi-nationals have chosen to house their employees at Palm City and with the project rapidly reaching completion, the indications are that they will be joined by many others in 2010.
