Apart from 27 buildings, the masterplan has two hotels on the northern and southern tips, along with 13 separate residential buildings on the east side of the development, and 12 buildings clustered into four groups.
While three buildings are joined into one group on the west side of the masterplan, all 27 buildings will share a one level podium.
