Spirits were high as construction works began for the new Boubyan Bank headquarters in Kuwait. The groundbreaking ceremony, which took place on 6th December, was a celebration of partnership and vision, all coming together to create one end result – a prestigious landmark development with a definite edge over potential future neighbouring developments.
Once complete, the development will offer Boubyan Bank the opportunity to utilise technology in banking, real estate and investments, while benefitting from spacious offices, convention halls, and other large public spaces.
SSH, in association with Perkins Eastman, delivered design services for the project.
“We are absolutely delighted to have been part of the journey thus far and, even more so, to have shared this special occasion with our client, Boubyan National Real Estate Service Company,” said Khalil Alonaizi, Resident Director at SSH, Kuwait. “We are looking forward to watching this landmark develop, covering its built-up area of more than 75,000 sqm.”
Attending the ceremony was Mr Abdulaziz Abdullah Al Shaya (Chairman of the Boubyan Bank Board of Directors), Mr Adel Abdul Wahab Al Majed (Vice Chairman & Chief Executive Officer), and Board Members misters Fahad Ahmad Al Fouzan, Waleed Ibrahim Al Asfour, and Waleed Abdullah Al Houti. Joining them were Sameer Abu Shanab (Projacs), as well as SSH’s Khalil Alonaizi (Resident Director at SSH, Kuwait) and Nick Forbess (Head of Project Management, Kuwait).
