Commercial Warehouse, Msida

Msida (or L-Imsida) is a harbor town in the north-east of Malta. Although relatively small, it is one of the most important towns in Malta. Today, Msida is now a bustling university town and development has in fact been centered around an ever-increasing student population at the University, as well as various new service industries that have sprung in this town in recent years. In the late 19th century, a floating British navy hydraulic dock was also planned at the central part of Msida close to where the Torpedo Depot used to stand. The plan was soon aborted but, in its stead, this area would in later years’ experience a booming yacht marina service, which has been growing ever since, thanks to new incentive policies issued by the central government.
