A new residential project in Oman has been voted Best International Architecture at the CNBC International Residential Property Awards. The Wave, Muscat in the Gulf Sultanate of Oman is the region’s first major integrated resort and residential project with some 4000 homes, a marina, golf course, hotels and a mall. Currently about 900 homes have been completed and work on the golf course, designed by Greg Norman, is about to commence. Opinions are divided regarding the construction of The Wave. Fishermen in Oman are calling for the government to limit real estate and road construction along the coast, which is hindering access to their boats and forcing them to relocate. With fewer oil and natural gas resources than its Gulf neighbors such as Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and Qatar, Oman has worked on diversifying its economy towards industry, real estate and tourism. Industrial development has targeted metal manufacturing, petrochemicals, and international shipment.
