KEO has designed a 40 storey Commercial Tower in the main commercial area in Kuwait. The site is located in a very prominent commercial area on Fahad Al Salem Street. The Design reflects the ongoing economic and commercial development
of the country. At the same time the design provides successful resolutions of adaptive design strategies related to the environmental, urban, cultural and functional aspects. Ground Floor and Mezzanine provide retail-shopping areas. Office space is provided in upper 34 floors.

The total built up area is around 17,000m2. Parking is provided in the basement. Some of the benefits of the design include floors without the obtrusive pillar engineering design, which allows for duplex office areas.

amazing design...do you guys think this will be over 200m ?

there was no official release regarding this tower , but from the render i could hit the 200M mark easley ;)

poor alraia and alawady :) althoug these 2 towers are built on massive areas .. so many small toweres are going to be higher than them

it seems they are finishing with on the top ;)
thanx, i like the second pic

that street need massive reconstruction, most of the buildings there are so old and ugly that they compeletly wreck the mood ...and are visually upsetting ..towers like this one and rakan tower are good steps towards reshaping the landscape of the city.

we need more original designes though..

you guys look at this link, a tower proposal at some russian city and be amazed..

http://www.gazprom-city.info/opros

yeah i wish the gov. put a fund to reshape the capital !!

put money buy the old and uglies and then sell to real estate companies !! that would be a good step forward
