Three Architecture firms have been chosen to design the major tourism development underway in Nausori.

The Master Developers - Executive Development Properties Fiji Limited's Managing Director Neale Slack said a Melbourne based firm, a Californian firm and a well known Australian architect will be designing the project.

Slack said the project known as Haven will be the first comprehensive mixed use tourism development of its kind, which will consist of a hotel, house serviced apartments, retail and commercial centre, a water theme park and a cinema complex.

He said the Haven will see all buildings sold as freehold.
