The Al Hamra Firdous Tower is a supertall skyscraper currently under construction in downtown Kuwait City, Kuwait. Designed by architectural firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, the tower will become the tallest building in Kuwait on completion in 2011 at 414 m (1,354 ft). It will also be the tallest sculpted tower in the world.
The tower will include 98,000 m2 (1,050,000 sq ft) of commercial and office space. The building will connect to a five-storey retail mall which totals 23,000 m2 (250,000 sq ft) of retail space and will include an integrated theater complex and an 11-storey carpark. The tower itself will be built on an 18,000 m2 (190,000 sq ft) construction site.
The Al Hamra Firdous Tower will have over 80 floors of office space, a rooftop restaurant and a spa. The shopping centre will include a 10-screen cinema complex which will also have IMAX theaters.
Turner Construction is in charge of the tower's construction.
