yo.

the Ibis Hotel will be a three-star property managed by the Ibis brand of the Accor Hotel chain. Accor is based in France and operates the Sofitel, Novotel, Ibis, Red Roof Inn, Motel 6, Formule 1, and Etap Hotel brands.

Accor is on an expansion spree in the Middle East and they plan to open upwards of 19 hotels in the area by 2009. Currently, the Ibis is the only planned property in Kuwait, but Accor has shown interests in opening a Novotel and Sofitel sometime in the future.

Ibis Kuwait is due to open by 2008.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope that no bureaucracy will integrate these hospital projects whatsoever. Our hospitals make me embarrassed and we NEED new hospitals really quick. I also like the ideas of taller rather than wider hospitals- you take up less land with a larger bed capacity.

اجمالي سعر المجمع الى نحو 2.45 مليار دينار في حال تحويله الى تجاري


هل تتذكرونه.. هو المجمع الذي طالما اصبح نموذجا في اذهان الكويتيين ليؤكد فشل الحكومة في جذب المواطنين للسكن داخل العاصمة أو توجيه رغباتهم للبناء العمودي، فهذا ليس اتهاما للحكومة بل هو واقع مرير، انه مجمع الصوابر الذي افقده موقعه الخصوصية لوجوده بين الوزارات سواء الاعلام أوالداخلية ووقوعه في قلب منطقة المصالح الحكومية المزدحمة.
اما اطلالته فلم تكن موفقة نهائيا، حيث يطل المجمع التعيس على المقابر، الامر الذي اثار الانتقادات على الحكومة لتنفيذها مشروعا في هذا الموقع.
فيما كثرت التصريحات عن استياء المواطنين لانتهاج الحكومة لهذه النوعية من المشاريع، لاسيما انه يعد ضمن مشاريع الرعاية السكنية التي تطرحها الحكومة لتلبية طلبات السكن.
والآن وعقب الإهمال الذي بات يعانيه هذا المجمع سواء في الخدمات أو صيانة المصاعد والتكييفات والصرف وغيرها، اصبحت الهجرة والفرار من هذا المجمع هي السمة الغالبة على سكانه، في وقت تنادت فيه بعض الاصوات من داخل المجلس البلدي، ومجلس الامة باعطاء قاطني المجمع اقتراحات اما تثمين المجمع، أو تحويله الى مجمع تجاري ومكاتب إدارية لكي يستطيع المواطنون الحصول على سكن آخر ملائم ومناسب.
إن مجمع الصوابر السكني يعد ضمن المشاريع الاسكانية التي طرحت قبل الغزو الغاشم واثبت هذا النوع من الرعاية السكنية عدم صلاحيته للعوائل الكويتية، فضلا عن اخطاء التصميم والمشاكل الاخرى، سواء المشاكل الامنية أو فوضى مواقف السيارات، فيما اصبحت الحلول الترقيعية غير مجدية.
فهل آن الاوان للقضاء على معاناة سكان هذا المجمع الذين يبلغ عددهم 524 عائلة كويتية.
الوسيط العقاري سالم القلاف والمسؤول عن تجميع وثائق وحدات المجمع كخطوة لطرحها مجمعة للبيع قال في لقاء خاص ل 'القبس': شهد الشهر الماضي ارتفاعا مفاجئا لاسعار الوحدات في مجمع الصوابر بما تزيد نسبته على 800%، حيث ارتفعت الاسعار من 65 الف دينار للشقة الوحدة الى اكثر من 500 الف دينار، وتم بالفعل بيع عدد من الوحدات وفقا لهذا السعر، لكن الملاك بدأوا يمتنعون عن البيع مع امل مخلوط باليقين ان سعر الوحدة سيصل الى المليون دينار.
واوضح القلاف ان الحديث عن تحويل المجمع من استثماري الى تجاري، خاصة مع توافر جميع المقومات لذلك، سواء وقوعه في قلب العاصمة أو وجوده وسط بنايات تجارية من كل النواحي وارتفاع الطلب على المكاتب الادارية، بل ندرتها داخل العاصمة، تعد اسبابا رئيسية وراء الارتفاع المفاجئ لاسعار الوحدات فيه.
وبين ان الشقة في مجمع الصوابر باتت سلعة مرغوبة، الأمر الذي وجه أنظار الشركات العقارية إليها وأصبحت تلك الأخيرة تتبع سياسة إغراء السكان لشراء الشقق بمبالغ كبيرة والتي يمتلك أصحابها بموجب العقود المدونة مسبقا حصة في أرض المشروع بما يقدر بنحو 42 مترا لكل شقة.
واشار الى ان مساحة المجمع تبلغ 245 الف متر مربع ويشتمل على 33 بناية كل بناية تتكون من ستة طوابق ويحتوي كل طابق على شقتين، فيما تبلغ مساحة الشقة الواحدة 225 مترا مربعا في حين يضم المجمع 524 شقة سكنية.
وقال ان هناك تحركات تتم حاليا لتجميع وثائق شقق مجمع الصوابر بغية طرحها للبيع للشركات كخطوة لتحويلها لمكاتب ادارية عقب موافقة الجهات المعنية، مشيرا الى انه تم تجميع وثائق ل 300 شقة من بين 524 اجمالي عدد الشقق في المشروع، وانه سيتم طرحها للبيع في اجتماع أشبه بمزاد علني.
وأوضح أنه تم تجميع وثائق لنحو 19 بناية كاملة من اجمالي بنايات المجمع بمساحة اجمالية بلغت 190 الف متر مربع، لا سيما ان مساحة البناية الواحدة تبلغ الف متر مربع.
وتوقع القلاف ان يصل اجمالي سعر المجمع الى نحو 2.45 مليار دينار في حال تحويله الى تجاري، لاسيما ان الاراضي التجارية في العاصمة نادرة، خاصة مع سيطرة الحكومة على نسبة كبيرة من الاراضي، ويتراوح سعر المتر التجاري فيها ما بين 9 و11 الف دينار للمتر الواحد.
دعا القلاف الى ضرورة التفات الحكومة الى أهمية موقع الصوابر، مؤكدا ان تحويل تلك المنطقة الى تجارية سيفتح الباب امام الشركات الراغبة في الاستثمار بهذه المنطقة للتقدم بمزايدات للحكومة.
وبذلك تتمكن الحكومة من تعويض سكان هذه الشقق من خلال تثمينها.
وأكد انه من غير المقبول استمرار الوضع على ما هو عليه، خصوصا ان اهالي المنطقة يعانون من التجاهل الحكومي وعدم تنفيذ مطالبهم الأساسية، وانه على الحكومة العمل على سرعة حل تلك المشكلة عن طريق تثمين الوحدات السكنية فيها

Tamdeen New HQ’s, Sharq – Kuwait
Tamdeen’s Tower is a 14 story office building that Tamdeen will occupy its first eight floors and lease the upper six floors.
The design associate is DAR AL-OMRAN who has brilliantly created a unique image expressive of Tamdeen’s culture despite the small site area of 706 m2.

The building from outside is culturally relevant yet high-tech from inside where new interior design concepts and finishes were introduced for the first time in the Middle East.
State-of-the-art multimedia, data and telecommunication systems are used and the building MEP systems are at the cutting edge of technology providing comfort and convenience to the users and full flexibility through the accessible raised floor.

Al-Mal Office Tower, Sharq – Kuwait
01/RACE participated in a design competition for Al Mal Speculative Office Tower. The competition entry was well received by the Jury and the Owner.
The design was able to respond to diverse and some times conflicting needs.

Since zoning for this particular area in Kuwait does not stipulate a Liwan, the tower springs out of its base through a reflective pool that reinforces its slim, non-conventional appearance.
To reflect Al-Mal’s dynamism and its recent thrust into speculative office towers, the concept of the blossoming bud was introduced where the thin curtain wall symbolizes the leaves of the blossoming rose.

Le Meridien Bnaid Al-Qar – Kuwait
Le Meridien Bnaid Al-Qar – KuwaitThe 110 room boutique hotel is located in Bnaid Al-Qar immediately on the Al-Sharq Waterfront with 270 degree open views that extend from Kuwait Towers to Ras Al-Salmiya. In order to maximize its sea view, only 7 rooms were planned in each floor where 104 of them enjoy the breathtaking waterfront.
The 20 story building includes all day dining facility, a rooftop specialty restaurant, a large conference center and banquet hall and a central court housing the swimming pool and health club.

The curvilinear form and the tension created between various masses have resulted in a unique design that is sympathetic to the sinuous waterfront of Kuwait extending all the way from Salmiya to Water Towers.

Amlak El Deira Hotel, Bnaid Al-Qar - Kuwait
While main view to the Bnaid Al-Qar waterfront is unfettered to both, East and North, the long and thin site of 25x42 m with 3M setbacks on both sides leaves only 19 M wide sliver of land for development.
Despite the small size, shape and orientation of the property, 01 managed to create a functional, landmark hotel for Amlak Al-Deira Real Estate Co.

80 rooms having full view to the waterfront are stacked in 16 floors over the Ground floor, dedicated to Lobby, Lounges and Reception, a First Floor dedicated to All Day Dining and a Mechanical Floor.
The 20th Floor is dedicated to a panoramic rooftop specialty restaurant.

offffff why is it complicated :bleep:

1-there is couple of empty land plots within al sawber project which they are owned by the government

2-active government facilities in al sawber project such as school , health center.....etc

3-therer is around 150* apartment owned by the government .

yo.

hey guys, just wondering: you know the Sultan Center on the Salmiya Corniche? not the big one with the Chi Chi's Grill, but the one near the Fanar Mall. there's this huge block of land under construction directly next to it; the back side of it is the Ibis, but the front side has a huge sign that reads something about a hotel. have they updated that sign? what hotel is coming up on that site?

if one of you guys could get a picture or update, it'd kick ass.

cheers.

hello kuwaiti_patriot,

i heard that kuwait will have four season , do you where that will be ans is it under c ?

emmm im not sure but i think there were alot of fenced land in salmiyah oppisite gulf road,, i think its mostly residential

word.

Skouli: Four Seasons mentioned that they plan to open a hotel in a prestigious project in the Salmiya district (according to a Kuwaiti newspaper from two years back or something). i figured it'll be on the seafront. i'm guessing that the Four Seasons will be the hotel component of the Olympia Headquarters. don't hold me to it, though. we'll see later.

the land i'm talking about is huge. it's next to the Amwaj Tower. it has a sign that says "Central something something for Hotels," so it'll be a hotel land. i just wonder if they've posted a rendering/information about the project.

hm.

Hello guys & girls, I made this thread, so we can gossip at any projects in the world, like we can talk about prices (apartment, villas, houses) and bunch of stuff like the places and locations, high or low quality projects, services, other stuff what do you think in many projects from experience or just a point of view, :cheers:

So Al-Ahlia Real Estate Gate Company, really sailing there new lands in Al Khairan Pearl City, for (will star form) 175,000 KD (it's 584,000 USD), look the prises is good because the lands over there are like 300,000 KD

yeah 175,000 KD with the beach infront of you, much better than shamiah and kiefan more than 300,000 KD for a house between houses and nothing to do ;)

so did anyone go to alahlia thing in sheraton crystal hall ??

G8 idea....thanx ahmedjam!!!

Where am i suppose to get that kind of money!!!! Damn its too expensive!!!

The lands are very expensive as a starter, but I guess there will be buyers. But, still my private island and Crazy's are much better in the Pearl. Dont you think?

LOOOOOL.. like duuuhhhh our islands are the best ;)

anyway 175000 is a good price compared to the houses near kuwait city center which can be sold about 1000,000 KD !! and dont forget the land plots are above 1200m squared ;)

mmmmm...let me think...mmmm...my private island, no noise peace and quite, no 3war eras....damn sure it gr8!!!!!!!!!!

ok how about the sulabikhat project what happens to that?!!?

^^ yeah i heard something about it, a while ago in the newspaper the minister of public works was talking about it,,, and thats it !!

whats it....is it being constructed, plannned or what exactly!?!?!?

what kind of name is that...COMBINED GROUP CONT CO....its silly!!!

finished planning its approved... but im not sure if they are building it or still

that's cool, but does anyone have any details about the sulaibikat project?

i just wanna comment about the khiran project the minimum price 4 a home is 150,000kd in front of the gulf yard, and minimum 200,000kd infront of the sea, i'm sure about this info, cuz i went cuz one of the workers in the company told me that himself, but 2 tell u the truth the prices r really boosting up really quick, some of the house prices have already got 2 400,000kd already beleive it or not

really huge but i wish theres a parking complex with it in case of traffic and stuff

SUBIYA NEW TOWN MASTER PLAN

http://www.gulfconsult.net/projects/images/newsubiya_thumb.gif

Brinckerhoff have been commissioned to review and update the City Master Plan, which had been approved by Kuwait Municipality in 1990.

In the 15 years since that initial master plan, the pressure for development in the north of Kuwait has grown substantially, particularly because of the decision to build and open a new container port on Boubyan Island by 2009 and to build a new causeway linking the new city of Subiya with Shuwaikh.


http://www.gulfconsult.net/projects/images/newsubiya_big.jpg

Damn i just knew that this project took 15 years to accept...Just proves how the gov't thinks.....real slow!!!!

NOOOOO ahmedjam its not sultan center !! the site is opposite sultan center too and doesn't have a board ,,its on the other side, right next to the strip of shops and khyool dvd place !! :mad:

yes it is...and it does have a board....thats the closest buildin being constructed near the dvd and shop area!!!!!!

i think what's happening to Kuwait is INCREDIBLY sad.

look at us. we used to be the jewel of the Gulf's crown. before the Invasion, we were doing amazingly well. Kuwait was prestigious, a hotspot for growth, and gaining worldwide attention for development and the economy. for example, the first Sheraton in the WORLD outside the United States opened in Kuwait in 1966. not in Paris or London or Singapore or Beijing, but KUWAIT. the first Radisson SAS that opened outside Scandinavia opened in Kuwait in the 1980s. we were the revolutionary factor in the area, we were who people looked up to.

and then the Invasion happened. decades worth of effort wiped out in seven months as our people were terrorized and our country destroyed. it was a catalyst in our country's history, a tragedy in the international arena and a cancer in our future. if you put all the horror and sorrow aside, you can look at the Invasion in a different manner: the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 destroyed overwhelming portions of the city of Chicago. however, the city's inhabitants were quick to act: rather than wallow in despair in the remains of what was once their city, they took this as an opportunity to invest in their future. an ENTIRE masterplan was thought out for the city, with grid-like streets and a new outlook for the future. the Invasion, like the Fire, destroyed vital parts of our nation and tortured our people, but unlike the Chicagoans, it took us a while before we picked up. and now look at us. mid-December 2006. it's been sixteen and a half years ever since and we still haven't recovered from our wounds. look at downtown: you can still see the ruins of a bombed-out house behind the Diabetes Research and Treatment facility. look at the National Museum, it's still a torched shell of what it once was. other countries would have torn down their old ruins or even restored them. after Dresden and Berlin were incinerated in World War II, many old monuments were painstakingly restored and the cities underwent a dramatic restoration. WE DIDN'T DO THAT. instead, we slowly, if rarely rebuilt rather than sit ourselves down and fully commit ourselves to the task at hand.

i will admit that the past few months have been very exciting. downtown Kuwait City is undertaking a new look, the country's polishing off, and we're reestablishing ourselves as the financial center of the region. it pains me to say, however, that we've arrived too late. of course, there is our obvious neighbor: Dubai. although it started off as a fishing town and trading outpost, Dubai has evolved (almost nightmarishly) into the corporate capital of the world. The Palm Island planned for Jumeirah Beach became THREE Palm Islands. The World. Burj Dubai. The Hydropolis. Dubai Marina. revolutionary, new-age, future-driven ideas being put forward by bullish leaders. Dubai has been named a "dream destination" by many world-famous agencies and travel fanatics. the reason why the city's leaping forward and setting precedents for the world to follow is because their government supports their country in its endeavours.

tragically for us, our government SUCKS. harsh, but plain and simple. the Subiya township was an idea proposed as far back as the 1980s. true, while the country's capacity may not have supported or even required it, the establishment of a new city may have paved the way for plenty of foreign investment. and now, the end of 2006 and they're STILL taking their time. Dubai and Doha are, without a doubt, the new jewels in the crown. tiny Bahrain is jumping forward with the Durrat Al Bahrain, Bahrain Financial Harbour, Bahrain Bay and Amwaj Islands developments. even Saudi Arabia, who we consistently ridicule as being the farthest one behind is making bold moves, such as the King Abdullah Economic City. our country is falling so far behind, chances of us even changing are getting slimmer by the second. with a government that steals from its own country, leaders pillaging their resources, and delays and problems constantly arising, we're never going to change. it's pessimistic, but it's true and it's EXTREMELY unfortunate. for the love of God, we had a member of parliament (or just somebody in a major role) who deplanted palm trees from downtown to have them replanted in his own estate. who in their right mind does that to their own country? while our government spends over two decades deciding whether or not to expand our airport, build a metro system or announce new projects, we have to pay the price and fall far behind while those around us rise up into the sky and beyond.

our government needs to change. we need to change. and we have to come to terms with everything around us or all hope will dissipate.

Kuwait needs us.

KUWAITI_PATRIOT: yes you are a patriot, i am speechless all what you wrote is right, man, I really don't know what to say !!

yeah we need a fast respond, we need to change ourselves, than the government and our parliament member, we need youth people to take charge of every thing, with whole new ideas, we need some one to care about our country, we shouldn't let those people take our lovely country apart, OMG, I think we are in a disaster, god help us, we should see the Chicago example with eyes wide open, god bliss you K_P I'm glad that you are a Kuwaiti, good Kuwaiti .

WE NEED GOALS

guys please read what Kuwaiti patriot write in post number 20 because its important

i think it's an apartment building normal one :sleepy:
but i heard that al-qadisiya S. will have a hotel or something like this

emmm i dont think its normal ;)
alahlia are building it, it was on the crane ;p

i read it ,,, your right kuwait_patriot...
but i'll have to say something about the present gov. well they have alot and i mean alot of laws and projects to approve, i think like 80 laws or something and they all need to be approved by the parliament,,,,

so i dont like it when people only blame the gov. for the countries failure... there are alot of people working in these institutions and mianly when you have a bad apple, all of them well be bad ;p LOL anyway i think the people in general in kuwait are corrupt unfortunatly, they take projects and laws and bend them their way and they get away with it by brides and under the table agreements, we have only a few people that can control the country's economy which is very wrong you have to do their way and they must have a share in your business or good luck even opening a baqala in kuwait,,

they want foriegn investment to come to this country, so they want all these laws approved and made the profit taxes 15% from 55% and other stuff that really should make kuwait a friendly enivorment for people with money and high expections in this rich country...

anyway your right kuwaiti_patriot ;) we have to change our attitude drastically, kuwait needs more people that want to benefit their country and not only to have bigger bank accounts in the swiss banks :S

ooo my bad....nice 1 crazy...btw how do u do that!!...putting arrows and stuff on photos?!?!?!?.............0o0 i think its another small complex like the ones in ibn khaldoun!!!

ALLAH ALLAH 3LIAK YA KU_PATRIOT.....wallah 3la rasi ebhel kelam.....i really dont know how to express myself....Thank God one really knows what i wanted to say but could not have said better than u.....keep it up...people say dont play fire with fire but i say....people like u know that our fire is much hotter and much more intense than our enemies....the enemies (at the start) is us, as you said we must change, and Allah said that he will not change people (a tribe) until they have changed from within!!!!....Barak allah feeek...Allah ekether min emthalik :)


BTW: Canada seems to make u think deep or something like that...I like that!
o0o what do you mean "Rockin the 416" ?!?!?!?

and thanks our Moderator Skoulikimou, for making this thread sticky :), i really appreciate your work :)

Future Projects----Olefins II

http://www.equate.com/images/photos/olefins2.jpg


Petrochemical Industries Company of Kuwait, (PIC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, and The Dow Chemical Company (Dow) are working to construct a new ethylene and derivatives complex in Kuwait, referred to as the Olefins II project. The project builds on the successful business relationship in EQUATE Petrochemical Company between PIC and Union Carbide Corporation (UCC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Dow. Following the groundbreaking ceremony in March 2005, the Olefins II project is being constructed on the site adjacent to EQUATE. EQUATE will manage, operate and maintain the Olefins II facilities.

The Olefins II project encompasses three specific elements:

* A 850,000 metric ton Ethane cracker, owned by The Kuwait Olefins Company (TKOC)*

* A 600,000 metric ton Ethylene Oxide/Ethylene Glycol plant using UCC's METEOR™1 Ethylene Oxide Technology, also owned by TKOC

* Expansion of the existing capacity of 600,000 metric ton per annum for Polyethylene by 225,000 per annum, using UCC's UNIPOL™ Polyethylene technology

In addition to Olefins II, PIC and Dow are building an Ethylbenzene/Styrene Monomer unit of 450,000 metric ton per annum. This plant, owned by The Kuwait Styrene Company (TKSC)**, will be supplied with Ethylene from Olefins II and Benzene from the Aromatics complex. The Aromatics complex is being built by Kuwait Aromatics Company.

* TKOC is a JV between Dow Europe Holding (42.5%), Petrochemical Industries Company of Kuwait (42.5%), Boubyan Petrochemical Company (9%) and Al Qurain Petrochemical Industries QPIC (6%).

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL :P, o thanks HW for making me understand what's going on :)

it seems that dubai is building IP(a)OD

http://www.fscklog.com/ipad.jpg
Dubai-based real estate developer Omniyat Properties is going to build a $800 million building that's "inspired" by the iPod. The structure—which will definitely have iPod docks in all the toilets—will be started in 2007 and completed in 2009.

Twenty-three stories of iPod goodness. Perhaps someone should tell Omniyat that they shouldn't get too attached to their project, seeing as a new generation building with touch-screen walls and video playback furniture will come in 2010.

pretty interesting :|

The sale of the land space in the capital for 11,7 million dinars.

The deal was the sale of an empty land in the capital on Ahmed Al-Jaber street of 1300 square meters with a total value amounted to 11,7 million dinars, which had been calculated the price per square meter in the deal with nine thousand dinars.

According to informed sources, that the parties to the deal are : the buyer a real estate company and sellers are individuals, the commercial land is stable in terms of prices, which reached high levels with expectations of higher prices because of the scarcity of land and the large number of applicants.

The sources indicated that the real estate offered for sale in the capital is extremely limited to the extent that it can restrict them on the fingers of the hands.

Today i saw info. board for a new twin towers on Arabian gulf St.

It's named Al-Waha Tower!!

between Ahmad tower & Alamiri hospital.



Hi there all. Here's some info regarding the Al Waha Twin Towers. The project designer is the same architect that designed the neighbouring Ahmad Tower, Andrzej Gabriel from Dar SAQECO Kuwait. Both of the towers will have 28 floors, as for the height I'll keep it to myself for now (don't hate me for it :wink2: ) 'cause this project is still undergoing some modifications.
As to the plot size that Bu Yusef has provided, it's a bit different. Actually it is half that size and the Towers are one behind the other, not aligned along Arabian Gulf street. The white building at the end of the plot will be demolished.

Best regards

Candy anyone ?? :lol:

yo.

not much of an update, but i found this tidbit on the Internet.

"In Kuwait we are negotiating a mixed-use complex with residential and office components in a great location."
- Marc Dardenne, Ritz-Carlton Area General Manager, Middle East

it's progress. and it signifies that we're on the list for a Ritz-Carlton.

schwing.

kuwaiti_patriot

!! i bet its on salmiyah's waterfront !! there are tons of fenced sites and lots of old house being demolished ;)

i don't think so.

you know the huge site next to the Safir International Hotel near the Kuwait Towers in Bneid El Gar? i heard that the Ritz-Carlton will go up on that lot bacause there's plenty of space for multiple towers, plus the views will be amazing. but you never know, there's that site next to the Sultan Center in Salmiya that's designated for a hotel (we still don't know what it is though; the Ibis is coming up on the back side).

hope i helped.

kuwaiti_patriot

next to safir in bneid al gar wont be the perfect location. come on its a ritz carlton! that area has so many residential buildings and stuff

and our favourite tower ,, alshelahi tower ;p
