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 :)

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:

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) :)

there is a lot of web site that they provide image hosting service
you can use :

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

2-wafra tower

3- on the last picture that was kifan communication tower

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 ..

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 :)

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. :)

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...

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 ..

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 :)

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 ;)
