whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuz :eek:

this one is great

in the som brochure i got from cityscape conference they have proposed it for dubai
hope it will come up in one of these 2 places

this is a huge building, but i don't know where on fahad alsalem street it's going to be located, that street doesn't have a huge lot for that building to be built on... :dunno:

this is a huge building, but i don't know where on fahad alsalem street it's going to be located, that street doesn't have a huge lot for that building to be built on... :dunno:

If I am not mistaken, it will be somewhere between the Sheraton R/A and next traffic light (Muthana Complex), on the side of the sea, about 100 meters from the Salhia shopping centre.

i will try to post a picture of the proposed location soon :)

Powerful name for a powerful design. This is one of my faves in Kuwait. It reminds me a bit of that proposed one for Dubai which never got approved. United Tower.

amazing looks like the one proposed for Dubai, i guess it is exactly the same one by SOM but the render is better..

Honestly I don't like that render (looks weird :? ). I prefer this one :

^^ No these are the old renders for Capital Complex :)

thanx god... i hop dubliner that they dont cahange the dsine :D

dubliner are you sure coz i found this pics in the net but i`m not sure

project is canceled or on HOLD thats what I read on alqabas few weeks ago

dubliner are you sure coz i found this pics in the net but i`m not sure

Yeah because I talked about these pictures beforehand which I found on TR Hamzah and Yeang's website and it was written in the website under the pics that these are for the Capital Complex. Skoulikimou confirmed that and he added that these are the old designs of the tower complex :)

dubliner are you sure coz i found this pics in the net but i`m not sure
this was one of the proposed designs for Al Asima project.
the design is made by TR Hamzah & Yeang (http://www.trhamzahyeang.com/)

it was 70floors+++. before

project is canceled or on HOLD thats what I read on alqabas few weeks ago

Yeah I read that too. What they said was that this tower most probably will not be built but Salhiya Real Estate company has not given it's final word on that. The guy who said that also added that should the company change it's mind and decide to build this tower then they will have no problems in financing it.

This decision was made due to the fact that the company already has two projects to complete (Capital Complex and Al Raya Office Tower). The site of this tower is on Fahed Al Salem St. and six buildings used to be located on it which were torn down to make way for this project. Should the company decide not to build this tower then they will sell this project to someone else.

it was 70floors+++. before
i dont think i was 70F , well i might be wrong .

because the land plot is somewhere around 3650 square meter and according to our beloved municipality the tower can't reach 70F

yup like you said dubliner and here it is:
وبين النفيسي ان 'الصالحية العقارية' مستعدة لبيع ارض المشروع اذا جاءتها فرصة جيدة للبيع، وبخاصة انها لا ترغب في الوقت الحالي البدء في تنفيذ المشروع، لكونها تركز كل مجهوداتها على بناء وتنفيذ مشروع العاصمة الذي يعد من اضخم المشاريع العقارية في السوق المحلي.

Yeah I hope that the company sells the project as a whole, as in the site and the design, so that someone else could build this fabulous project.
