Kuwait get’s its third supertall, UC now!

June 1st, 2007 by mago

Now thing is starting to go out of hand here! Kuwait City’s third skyscraper abow 300 m, 985 ft is soon to see the light. The Square Capital Tower is now UC!
Most embarrassing of all is that this is the only picture I can show you.


Tada! Like showing a peaceflag on the battlefield today…

Fortunately can I give you a little bit of extra information to compensate, hopefully. Yes, the tower is under construction and yes, you guessed it, it’s a hotel, a Refad Hotel and for those of you who feel only slightly enlightened by that, the Refad Hotel chain is the one and only hotel chain allowed to build on this thing.


The man made islands, “the World” in Dubai. Refad building
it’s hotel in “Australia” to be more specific. More familiar now?

But unlike in Dubai, Kuwait City will have to be satisfied with a four star hotel or as Refad’s Antonie Yazbek put it: “The Square is a four-star-plus city centre, business hotel brand; The Four Stars serves the business and economy travel leisure market”.

And given it’s height that doesn’t sound to bad to me.

Fast Facts:
