š Major Changes Under New Ownership
Marina Bay City Rebranded as Nesara Bay City, Lombok
A new chapter has officially begun on Lombokās southern coastline following the acquisition of Marina Bay City by Lux Property.
Under new ownership and management, the project is undergoing a complete transformation ā starting with a new name, a new master plan, and a fundamentally different vision.
The development will now be known as Nesara Bay City, marking a decisive break from the past and a shift toward a grounded, environmentally integrated coastal mini-city designed specifically for Lombok.
šļø Out With the Old: Mega-City Ambitions Scrapped
Under previous management, Marina Bay City was marketed as a Dubai-style coastal metropolis, featuring dense urban zoning and proposed 30-storey towers.
That vision has now been formally abandoned.
Lux Property has confirmed that:
ā High-rise towers have been removed from the master plan
ā 30-storey buildings will not proceed
ā Large-scale, artificial āmega-cityā concepts are no longer part of the project
šæ In With the New: A Nature-Integrated Mini-City
Nesara Bay City is being re-envisioned as a low-rise, low-density coastal mini-city that blends naturally into Lombokās landscape rather than dominating it.
The new direction prioritises:
š± Architecture that follows the land ā not flattens it
šļø Village-style precincts instead of tower blocks
š³ Extensive green corridors and open space
š¶ Walkability and human-scale design
š A strong connection to Indonesian culture and coastal ecology
Rather than replicating Middle Eastern mega-developments, Nesara is designed to feel authentically Lombok.
š A Clean Reset Under New Ownership
Lux Property has made it clear that Nesara Bay City is a reset ā not a continuation.
Removed from the new vision:
š« Dubai-inspired skyline concepts
š« Oversized commercial zones
š« High-density residential towers
š« Urban planning misaligned with Lombokās infrastructure and environment
In their place is a long-term, sustainable master plan focused on:
ā
Livability
ā
Environmental balance
ā
Responsible, staged development

As part of the rebrand, all official communications and project updates will now be issued under a new digital identity.

š§ The Road Ahead
With new ownership, a new name, and a completely redefined master plan, Nesara Bay City represents a significant shift in Lombokās development narrative.
By rejecting unsuitable high-rise urbanism and embracing a nature-first, human-scale approach, Lux Property is positioning Nesara as a future-proof coastal mini-city ā one aligned with:
š“ Lombokās environment
š Local culture
š Long-term regional growth
