East Sitra City

East Sitra City () is a proposed public housing mega-project under construction in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Proposed in 2014 by the Bahraini Ministry of Housing, the project involves land reclamation of 253 to 540 hectares (5.8 million square metres) off the eastern coast of Sitra island. Once completed, the reclaimed islands are estimated to consist of 4,000 housing units.
The project is part of a concurrent series of 245 million BHD ($649 million) public housing projects launched in the country in the 2010s, such as the Northern City and East Hidd City.

The project plans for six separate man-made islands to be reclaimed from the sea, off the east coast of Sitra. It is estimated that up to 600 hectares of land were reclaimed. AECOM are the chief planners of the project. Nature Environmental Studies and Consultations served as environmental consultants, WS Atkins & Partners Overseas are the architects, and Masterplan and Infrastructure served as design consultant.
An estimated 25 million cubic metres of dredged sand were required to reclaim land. In addition to serving as a housing project, the city will host facilities for Bahrain's oil sector and other government use.
