SSH, a key masterplanning, infrastructure and project management company in the Middle East, said work has started on the new Boubyan Bank headquarters in Kuwait. 

 

A leading player in the building design and construction supervision sectors in the Middle East, SSH has a reputation for design integrity and a portfolio that includes landmark projects throughout the region. 

 

It has offices in Abu Dhabi, Algeria, Bahrain, Dubai, Kuwait, London, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sub-Saharan Africa and North Africa.  

 

The design service for the landmark project was delivered by SSH in association with Perkins Eastman.

 

Once complete, the headquarters building 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, said senior SSH officials at the ground breaking ceremony.

 

The ground breaking 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, they added.

 

The ceremony was attended by senior Boubyan Bank board representatives including Chairman Abdulaziz Abdullah Al Shaya, Vice Chairman and CEO Adel Abdul Wahab Al Majed and board members Fahad Ahmad Al Fouzan, Waleed Ibrahim Al Asfour, and Waleed Abdullah Al Houti as well as Kuwait-based SSH officials Khalil Alonaizi, Resident Director (Kuwait) and Nick Forbess (Head of Project Management) along with Sameer Abu Shanab of Projacs.

 

Speaking at the ceremony, Alonaizi said: "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."

 

"We are looking forward to watching this landmark develop, covering its built-up area of more than 75,000 sq m," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
