^^ i like the palm trees in the water, cool idea..

finally we have a render ,
good jop Bu Yusef keep them coming :cheers:

I like the palms too and i hop they will do it without any changing !!! :D

well they might scrap the palms and the water theme off to keep the cost of the construction down , well that a major problem in kuwait which is poor landscaping :(

looks awesome! :cheers:

your welcome skoulikimou , and amazing will be coming :runaway:

you have to keep in mind our weather doesn’t really help, they spend massive amounts of money on landscaping and it would live past the summer.

We have to do our landscapping with more thought of our environment. We live in a harsh hot dry country. There are many ways to do that. The use of geotextile fabric and water retention fabrics are one of many ways you can maximize the use of water. Remember any plant or tree has its roots "bathed" with water. This amount of water is only around 5% of the total irrigated water. Now if you design beforehand the landscapping so that this water can be recouped and channeled into an underwater reservoir to be re-used again, you immediately reduce the needed amount of water by 95%. I have yet to see a single project in Kuwait utilize this scheme. It might cost a little more in the initial cost, but it will more than pay for itself many times over in the future.

Believe it or not, Kuwait has an excess of water and during the hottest summer months when the Hydro Electric plants are producing much more energy than usual (for AC) the by product water is just thrown directely to the sea. The amount last year was more than 28 million gallons a day of pure fresh water. Ironically during the winter months we have to produce more electricity than we need because we are in need of more fresh water. It would not take a genius to realize that a much better idea is to store the excess water in large strategic reservoirs to be used when needed instead of running the boilers in the winter just to make water. It would save a tremendous amount of energy and make a lot more sense. It is amazing that the status quo goes on unchallenged year after year ...

well they might scrap the palms and the water theme off to keep the cost of the construction down

I'd say scrap the palms and the water theme build parking instead cuz thats what we need ... in Kuwait you must think of the parkings before the project :D

Parkings should be built in such a way that it doesn't take some much land... that would be a waste ... a multi-story car park is an ideal solution at the time being

Construction cost.. cheaper to keep it above ground.. Good luck getting in your car at 3PM when its nice and crispy...

i wish our governments would listen to that sort of reasoning; instead they acquire the opinion of a highly overpaid foreign expert who hasn’t lived in the country and doesn’t grasp how large the difference is between our environment and his.

Nice Project!

Thanks AlOnSi for the update. It's nice to see some progress in this project. I can see a circular building on the right in the first pic is that the actual mall ?

I didnt look at it but I think its what left from the old cinema

Thanx AlOnSi for the update good pics :)

Thanks Alonsi for the update pics.

I think the Kuwaitis have the most creative construction projects in the Middle East

Yeah,true

I was passing yesterday on the sixth ring road and I saw that this project has had the ground floor completed and the first floor was almost completed. If I have time I will try to get you updates for it :)

that will be great dubliner :)
i passed it too but i didnt know what it was !! hehehe

My house is in Janoob il Surra, and I still did not see it :bash: Must be blind!!!

The project will comprise of 105,000m2 of retail (approximate) and a 56,000m2 (approximate) multi-storey car parking. Although the car park and mall adjoin they are effectively separate structures

The mall structure has three floor levels above ground and one basement level. The floors above ground level have a curved perimeter with a limestone clad perimeter feature wall. The cross sectional dimension of the structure are approximately 190m x 180m.

There is an existing raft foundation built for a previous development and this is to be incorporated as part of the foundations for the new structure.

360 Kuwait is a new shopping mall development located off the 6th Ring Road, Kuwait City, Kuwait, and is to comprise 105,000m2 of retail (approximate) and a 56,000m2 (approximate) multi-storey car park. Although the car park and mall adjoin they are effectively separate structures, and my client have been commissioned by OHA Engineering Consultant to undertake the concept and scheme design of the mall structure. This report pertains to the scheme design, which was developed based on the structural concepts described in 360 Kuwait Concept Design Report (rev 0), issued in June 2005.
The mall structure has three floor levels above ground and one basement level. The floors above ground level have a curved perimeter with a limestone clad perimeter feature wall. The cross sectional dimension of the structure are approximately 190m x 180m. The occupancy of each level is as follows:

360º Kuwait
Kuwait City, Kuwait

MESA and RTKL Architects have created an exciting new destination for visitors and shoppers in Kuwait City. The three-story retail shopping center is grounded in curvilinear forms radiating from the mall’s center forming broad arcs that permeate through the development. From the mall’s primary entrance, a wooden pier extends over the water allowing visitors to experience expansive views and a towering geyser. The Solar Garden, an indoor/outdoor restaurant entices shoppers to garden rooms, small fountains, and pools of exotic fish. An existing mosque remains on site.

Hey Crazy,

Thanks a lot dude. the photos are really good. Its good to see the progress though if one were to compare it to the photos on the previous page, the pace at which it is progressing seems a bit slow, but nonetheless, thanks. Can't wait to come to kuwait in dec 2008. Hopefully it should be in the final stages then.

Tamdeen Shopping Centers 'delivers promise' and to inaugurate 360 Kuwait on time

Tamdeen Shopping Centers Company (TSC), a subsidiary of the Tamdeen Real Estate Company, announces the near completion of its latest innovative shopping center, 360 Kuwait.

http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd166/7amani1/360.jpg

TSC says that the launch will commence in spring 2009 as planned. The leasing process is complete, and the investors have received their units and have already started renovating and decorating.

This iconic project will showcase a range of amenities and services. Its prime location will provide all visitors easy accessibility. The shopping center features a variety of luxurious brands, selective tenant mix and complies with international standards in the design, location and the multi level parking spaces.

Not only will 360 Kuwait follow international standards, but it will also deliver a new shopping experience for its customers. 360 KUWAIT's appearance highlights its distinctiveness. Unique zones provide journeys through themes of day and night. The exterior concept is designed in an elegant circular design and is surrounded by a greenery areas and well designed landscape.

Marzouq Jasem Al Marzouq, Chairman of Tamdeen Shopping Centers, said:
'We at Tamdeen Shopping Centers constantly strive to create new projects that are tailored to meet the demands of Kuwaiti society. We exceed their expectations by delivering innovative shopping centers that are recognized globally.'

'In a country like Kuwait where entertainment is fairly limited and the hot climate mandates more activities indoors, shopping centers have become leisure and entertainment destinations. They contain a wide range of entertainment facilities under one roof. 360 Kuwait will be in the heart of business and community networks in Kuwait. It provides easy access from many main streets, welcoming visitors from all directions and communities,' Al Marzouq added.

360 Kuwait will include a mix of luxury brands, dining and entertainment being introduced for the first time in Kuwait. Furthermore, it will also feature a state-of-the-art family entertainment centre designed for various age groups and the largest cinema complex in Kuwait, including the latest IMAX 3-D screen. Furthermore, renowned Geant hypermarket will be introduced in 360o Kuwait and in Kuwait for the first time, offering a wide array of top brands. This innovative development will also feature unparalleled services that include a concierge and a designated multi-level car parking space.

'We are pleased to announce the near completion of this project, overcoming different challenges that were faced. We are confident that this project will have a positive effect not only in Kuwait, but on the entire GCC area,' Al Marzouq said.

Nice mall but in Dubai this mall is considered to be Baqala for them.WE NEED very big projects 1st class projects like what you see in Dubai The Palms The World Burj Dubai
We have the money but we are not wise in spending it

who cares about dubai! we are wise at spending our money, thats why you see dubai struggling about billion of dollars of debt.

^^ i agree with crazy i've been living in dubai for four years now, and i study architecture so i have a general understanding of whats good and whats bad. i have to admit even though they have tons of large project they seriously lack the attention to detail..... really bad finishing and the palm island in jumerah is a major disappointment bad quality of finishing and landscaping it really looks cheep and artificial. The Dubai Mall as well has bad finishing, bad flooring and squeaky escalators... im glad that in kuwait projects have great finishing qualities and most of them are unique pieces of architecture. Dubai is all about drama and flair, kuwait is about quality

Let's wait and see the next 10 or more years I know Kuwait will change and be better than dubai with Midnat Al Hareer :)

well I don't think SO, I just returned from Dubai the past saturday. and I just was surprised i went to Dubai Mall, atlantis hotel and it was so F... incredible

actually i think there is no need to compare them.Dubai has its own touch and status that is not only better than any gulf country rather better than many famous cities in the world.

as far as kuwait is is concernd it has its own type of development that has recently started to progress for the betterment, and we can hope that in the near future it will be if not better then atleast a compettive place to dubai.

Tamdeen Shopping Centers Development Company, a subsidiary of Tamdeen Real Estate Company, announces the partnership and addition of Kuwait National Cinema Company 'Cinescape' to their latest flagship project 360 Kuwait.

http://www.ameinfo.com/images/news/3/70183-360kuwait.jpg

The IMAX Theatre Network currently consists of more than 280 IMAX affiliated theatres in 38 countries around the world. Approximately 60% percent of the theatres are located in North America,' added Al Marzouq.

Can't wait for it to open this spring....

Thanks for the update, Danny.:)

360 MALL will get the world’s largest indoor vertical garden as an added attraction, to provide a world class shopping and entertainment experience.:banana:

This ambitious visual and aromatic centerpiece is a living botanical wonder containing an extensive array of ferns, orchids and geraniums.

'Our goal with 360 MALL is to create an environment that is unlike any other shopping center here in Kuwait,' said Rachid Kamza, Tamdeen Shopping Center’s deputy general manager of developments and projects.

'The vertical garden is not only a thing of beauty; it also has environmental benefits for the mall. As well as the natural impact of plants on the air quality in the mall, it also helps lower energy consumption in both winter and summer. This is about bringing a taste of the natural beauty we all value back into our daily lives.'

'This vertical garden is set to become a must-see destination for people in Kuwait and beyond. It is something people will want to see and experience for themselves,' added Patric Blanc, a botanist and the inventor of the Vertical Garden.

'However, the ecological benefits are equally important. The felt is designed to consume any air-borne pollutants and convert them to plant fertiliser making the Vertical Garden an efficient tool for air and water remediation.

360 Mall sets high standards for sumptuous dining in Kuwait

360 Mall announced today another significant milestone in its development by introducing for the first time in Kuwait renowned South African and Lebanese reataraunts, The Meat Company and Zahr El Laimoun to its unique offer.

This new development will provide an opportunity for shoppers to indulge in their gastronomic flavors while enjoying the architectural beauty that embraces the mall.

Hey Crazy,

Funny how a year just flew by and here we are finally awaiting the opening of the much talked-of mall..Well, got a small job for you...You need to get us snapshots....

The mall in general is really beautiful from the outside and inside as seen in the previous pages and on 360 dewan....Except the palm trees near the waterwork out dont look so fancy and the table for the front row of the cinemas look so out-of-place.

Talking about cinemas, hows the movie scene in kuwait now? Back in 2002 when I was last in Kuwait, most of the kuwaiti friends I hung out with preferred either Hindi or English...There's something about arabs and Indian movies mainly bollywood hindi movies....just dont get that wonder y...

this is realy a cooooooooool mall...very nice addition to kuwait malls.. it has a very nicely desgined extrior and fantastic interior. hope the whole mall gets opened soon..

I went to the mall this morning, i have to say the interior was quite surprising. great attention to details and the different zones make the mall feel much larger than it is. i think the pictures will say everything. (no starbucks or alshaya' shops in sight "which i must say is refreshing") i especially liked the "green" wall in the ground floor food court.
