The Square Capital Tower is the name of a skyscraper construction project in Kuwait . Due to financial difficulties, the construction work that began in 2008 has now been stopped. With a height of 376 meters, the 70-story tower, which tapers towards the top in a spiral shape, would be the second tallest building in Kuwait City after the Al Hamra Tower , which was completed in 2011 at 413 meters. The skyscraper planned by real estate company Al Dar National Real Estate will house offices on the lower floors, while a hotel is planned higher up.
Currently (as of 2017) it is not known exactly when the construction work will be continued after it began in 2008 and was interrupted in 2009 after the foundation was erected. Initially, the building should be 351 meters high with 63 floors. However, the design has since been revised.
