SSH Delivers The First Phase Of Kuwait’s Latest Waterfront Development.

The newly revamped phase one of the Waterfront Development welcomed thousands during the national holidays. The waterfront project extends 9.7 kilometres from the Kuwait Towers all the way to the Yacht Club. The project is divided into two phases: the first completed phase is from Green Island to the Kuwait Towers, while the second phase is from Green Island to the Al Shaab slipway. The project provides visitors with an immersive experience that beautifully represents the cultural and heritage essence of the State of Kuwait.

For the Touristic Enterprises Company (TEC), the vision was to reactivate the waterfront for the public with key zones that offer national events, green sustainability elements, cultural entertainment, and lifestyle retail activities, creating diverse active spaces. It will also provide more than 60 business and investment opportunities for Kuwaiti companies. Dedicated bike and running lanes have been incorporated with distance markers for those fitness enthusiasts.

As the design and supervision consultant, the project reflects SSH’s commitment to sustainability by incorporating eco-friendly materials, including solar-powered lamps, 40 electric car charging stations, and cosmetic agriculture suitable for the Kuwaiti climate. Creative artworks have been placed throughout the project, adding to its distinctive character.

“SSH takes pride in being the partner of choice for TEC on this fantastic project. The project not only offers visitors an immersive experience, but it also represents the culture and heritage of the State of Kuwait. Congratulations to the SSH Design and Supervision teams for delivering phase one in record time and to all stakeholders involved. We look forward to seeing the completion of phase two later this year,” said Ali Hayat, Resident Director of SSH Kuwait.
