AlOnSi December 23rd, 2005, 05:31 PM Lorenzo is really good place to sit in and eat or have a coffee outside
Gilgamesh December 23rd, 2005, 05:33 PM Judging by the render...I guess it's around 15 floors? looks cool! :cheers:
Skoulikimou December 23rd, 2005, 05:33 PM i might go if you recommend it ;)
Larogue December 24th, 2005, 09:08 AM I like the weather :weirdo:
differences75 December 25th, 2005, 06:21 PM these towers are 17 floors high, and they will be finished by the end of next year, if not sooner, cause they're actually ahead of schedule :)
Skoulikimou December 25th, 2005, 08:09 PM these towers are 17 floors high, and they will be finished by the end of next year, if not sooner, cause they're actually ahead of schedule :)
now that what i call valuable information ,cheers differences75
differences75 December 29th, 2005, 05:22 AM hey guys , i have some no so great news about these towers, It seems that they will only be 13 floors high, so they're reaching thier limit these days.
by the way i have some pictures that i have taken from alwafra tower, and you can actually see shiekh Jaber's stadium, and moreshots of kuwait city from the 20th floor, but i have no idea how to attach them here :dunno:
Koweitien January 3rd, 2006, 03:40 AM According to the persian forumers all u have to do is to write the following: the web address of the pic. But to do this u have to have ur pic hosted on a website (they recommended tinypic.com) :)
Skoulikimou January 3rd, 2006, 02:01 PM there is a lot of web site that they provide image hosting service
you can use :

differences75 January 13th, 2006, 02:30 AM I have connections ;) and i was taking a grand tour as well .. i just wish i can have an office there. the veiws are just amazing :)
Skoulikimou January 13th, 2006, 02:38 AM sa7at el 3alam look very creepy from up their , they should do something about it , they cant keep like that forever .
it just a disgrace to the 3alam el q8
Skoulikimou January 13th, 2006, 02:41 AM if want an office i will have it in alhamra tower on the 70th floor ;)
Koweitien January 13th, 2006, 03:22 AM I'm going to ask some questions :D
In the first pic. differences75 is in what tower and the tower next to Le Meridien is Al Nasar tower right ? In the fourth pic. differences75 is in what tower ? :) And finally in the fifth pic. if the tower to the left is al Marzouq tower then what is the tower to far right of the pic?
Man I ask a lot of questions :laugh:
Skoulikimou January 13th, 2006, 03:59 AM 1- that was al nasar tower
2-wafra tower
3- on the last picture that was kifan communication tower
:cheers2:
Koweitien January 13th, 2006, 04:12 AM Cool, so many towers coming up thanks for the reply ;)
Koweitien January 13th, 2006, 04:28 AM Why doesn't one of you guys come up with some details about the kifan communication tower and some pics for the al wafra tower (and that would be very appreciated) :)
Skoulikimou January 13th, 2006, 05:00 AM kifan communication tower, no way i will post a thread !@
Wafra Office Towerhttp://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=298729
differences75 January 13th, 2006, 05:39 AM thank you skoulikimou for answering the questions ;) and i was taking those pictures from wafra tower 2 weeks ago, it was really really chilly and truely windy up there.
alhmara tower is nice skoulikimou but i wounder about the views, also you have a very very good point about sa7at el 3alam .. or the flag's 'plaza' it is a disaster .. the whole so called green belt must be changed .. its a shame ..
h_arc_h January 13th, 2006, 02:45 PM thank you Differences75 for these pictures .. but I think dubliner ( if i am not wrong ) ment the far tower in the 4th pic .. which as i think it is alasfoor tower ( am i right ) :)
Skoulikimou January 13th, 2006, 04:37 PM h_arc_h your completely right(4th pictures top right hand is Al Asfour tower) ,though Dubliner was asking about the last picture :)
Koweitien January 13th, 2006, 08:20 PM Sorry guys about the mix-up, but I think that skoulikimou was right. I was talking about the last tower on the foreground of the fifth pic. :)
differences75 January 13th, 2006, 10:06 PM I am happy to see that people enjoyed my pictures ;) hope tto post more soon

differences75 January 31st, 2006, 03:12 PM ok al hamad towers have reached thier hights .. :) juts few months more and this part of the city will be transformed ..
it is very exciting, but the problem as i was told is that a lot of people and comapnies are worried about the parkings, i know that a company have rejected an offer to have its offices there because there are no parkings :( .. very sad ..
but on the other hand, it makes the city looks better
safqa_tijariya January 31st, 2006, 06:31 PM well... i know many of those buildings have parking lots (but inside the building) usually in the underground floors.
It's weird why some new buildings dont have parkings...
Koweitien January 31st, 2006, 09:45 PM Is it actually going to be pink in colour ?!
h_arc_h February 1st, 2006, 12:09 AM :) no these are the isolating planks
Koweitien February 1st, 2006, 12:48 AM :) no these are the isolating planks
Oh good ! I actually thought that it was going to be pink in colour :)
differences75 February 1st, 2006, 03:10 AM safqa_tijariya those buildings are built on small footprint, like 1000 m2 or less .. there is no room to build a inner parking lot, and yet they allowed them to go hight.. which would mean that people have to find some place to park thier cars ..usually across the street .. in front of leronzo..
they could build a parking building behind those highrises ..
Koweitien February 19th, 2006, 01:40 AM kifan communication tower, no way i will post a thread !@
Err I'm sorry but I can't seem to find this thread :?
Bu Yusef March 22nd, 2006, 07:25 PM They change the name to ===> Al-Watiya Towers

Koweitien March 22nd, 2006, 08:06 PM So what, did Al Hamad Real estate company sell it to Al watiya real esate company ? This is really confusing I mean there is already Al Watiya complex nearby :bash:
differences75 March 22nd, 2006, 08:07 PM i think alhamad family owns alwatiya real estate company ...
Koweitien March 22nd, 2006, 08:13 PM i think alhamad family owns alwatiya real estate company ...
Oh OK but i mean they should've kept it as Al Hamad Towers as I said earlier there is already Al Watya Complex nearby.
MirageBistro April 10th, 2006, 05:23 PM Thats better that Singapore +10 hahahaha
MirageBistro April 10th, 2006, 05:24 PM The Al-watiya complex looks like of Singapore
MirageBistro April 10th, 2006, 05:25 PM BTW:I am a new member of this thread and I am intersted to join.
Please don't mistake me for a fool :)
MirageBistro April 10th, 2006, 05:30 PM http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h137/jamesarkoss/4023alwatiyatowers.jpg
MirageBistro April 10th, 2006, 05:31 PM The al-watiya hotel has about 28 floors right?
margog April 10th, 2006, 05:40 PM I'v herd they gona chaneg the desain and make it 1 big tower corectt if am rong ;)
Koweitien April 11th, 2006, 02:11 AM You guys are talking about a different project. You are talking about Al Watiya complex while this is Al Watiya towers (Al Hamed Towers) thread. I know this is very confusing I think we should stick to calling this thread Al Hamed towers, what do you think guys ?
About Al Watiya Complex, I personally have not heard anything about it but it would be great if it would become one huge tower :)
Koweitien April 16th, 2006, 12:34 AM This picture was posted earlier which shows Al Watiya Towers clearly.
Lovly photos for Kuwait City

Koweitien April 30th, 2006, 11:00 PM can we see the stadium from Al Deeraa ?!
wooow i can`t beleive !
You meant to write this in another thread ? I don't think that you can see the stadium from the city. Unless you were in a really high tower maybe Al Hamra ;)
El_Rio May 1st, 2006, 03:48 AM You meant to write this in another thread ? I don't think that you can see the stadium from the city. Unless you were in a really high tower maybe Al Hamra ;)
oooops technical fault sorry :P
differences75 May 1st, 2006, 01:18 PM actually .. you can see the stadium from the towers and i took a picture of it from wafra tower .. and its somewhere in this site :P
Koweitien May 1st, 2006, 01:43 PM this is diffecult to see, but trust Jaber al Ahamd stadium is there..

Oh Yeah you mean this one right ? Cool I never knew that you could see the stadium from the city :)

Koweitien May 31st, 2006, 10:44 PM Since none of you guys is willing to give us any updates for this project I said I might as well post Faisal's pic which shows Al Watiya Towers. They look as if they have been completed.
