Layan Verde, a residential development currently under construction in the Layan area is being developed by Layan Best View Company, which says its focus is on delivering the project in accordance with approved permits and environmental requirements, while coordinating with relevant agencies on infrastructure elements directly connected to the site.
According to the developer, the project’s approach centres on integrating new construction with existing systems, rather than expanding responsibility beyond its approved scope.
“Responsible development means complying with the law, working transparently with authorities, and ensuring that our project integrates properly with existing infrastructure,” said Paul Crosio, Director of Layan Best View Company.
Environmental Measures and Community Activities
Project representatives say environmental management forms part of daily site operations. Alongside construction works, Layan Verde staff and partners have taken part in periodic beach clean-up activities at Layan Beach, together with local residents and volunteers.
The developer also supported improvements to a beach access area where informal parking and a deteriorated road surface had caused congestion. With the agreement of relevant stakeholders, a designated parking area was organised and basic road repairs were carried out to improve access for beach users.
Waste separation practices are also in place at the construction site and project office, with plans to provide information and facilities for future residents aimed at promoting responsible waste management.
According to the developer, Layan Verde is being implemented using green-building principles and is subject to ongoing assessment under the international EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) standard, according to the developer. Monitoring of energy use, water consumption and material efficiency is conducted on a regular basis.
Layan Best View Company is part of the VillaCarte Group, which previously applied similar standards at Layan Green Park, a separate project in the area that now operates as La Green Hotel.
“Sustainable development depends on engineering discipline, measurable standards and continuous monitoring,” said Vadym Bukhkalov, representing the developer.
Infrastructure Connections
Rapid growth in Layan in recent years has placed pressure on drainage systems, utilities and access roads, issues that affect both new and long-established developments.
A local community representative noted that private investment, when coordinated with public authorities, has played an increasing role in addressing infrastructure capacity as the area develops.
Within this context, Layan Best View Company states that it has funded engineering works related to the project’s connection to public systems, in line with approved technical specifications and in coordination with relevant authorities. The developer emphasised that each project in the area operates independently, under its own ownership, permits, engineering teams and environmental approvals.
Among the works associated with the project is the installation of a large-diameter collector designed to interface with existing stormwater and wastewater systems serving nearby properties. The installation involved drilling beneath an active municipal road using a steel pipe with a diameter of 1.9 metres, a method intended to minimise surface disruption and support drainage performance during the rainy season.
The developer has also secured agreements for connection to the central water supply, with capacity of up to 1,800 cubic metres per day, and has obtained technical specifications from the Provincial Electrical Authority for the required electrical capacity, including planned upgrades to elements of the local high-voltage network.
To reduce impacts during construction, access roads are maintained in cooperation with local authorities, dust-suppression measures are applied, and nearby residents are informed in advance about construction schedules and activities.
Environmental protection measures within the project include a stormwater drainage system and a retention pond designed to manage runoff from the site and reduce the risk of contamination of local water resources, in accordance with approved designs.
The Layan Verde project also includes an underground parking facility with around 700 spaces, which the developer says is intended to ease pressure on surrounding roads and improve traffic organisation.
As Layan continues to change, infrastructure and environmental decisions remain closely watched by residents and regulators alike. Despite the natural beauty and proximity to popular beaches, the area lacked basic infrastructure, including proper roads and organized public spaces. Layan Verde is created as a full-fledged ecosystem: two five-star hotels, 65 infrastructure facilities for locals and tourists, and more than 400 permanent jobs in the hotel segment alone. The project will attract a stable flow of investments and tourists with check above average, which will allow to boost the economy of the area through tax revenues, development of small businesses, and increase the income of local families.
Developers say that careful coordination, regulatory compliance, and clearly defined project responsibilities are key to balancing growth with environmental and community considerations.
