United Real Estate Company (URC), the Real Estate arm of KIPCO Group, has announced that Hessah District is officially coming to life, with the gradual handover of its residential units to their owners — a process that began in July of last year.

As one of Kuwait’s first projects to introduce a modern model for integrated urban community living, Hessah District embodies principles of well-being, connectivity, and modern design, setting a new benchmark in the country’s Real Estate sector.

Commenting on this milestone, Mr. Mazen Hawwa, Vice Chairman and Group CEO, stated: “Hessah District, with its diverse residential and commercial components, stands as one of the most significant examples of progressive urban development in Kuwait. This project reflects our commitment to building sustainable, modern communities that address the evolving needs of both individuals and the local culture.”

Mr. Hawwa emphasized that the company remains dedicated to offering an exceptional living experience through advanced technologies and premium amenities, positioning Hessah Towers and Byout Hessah as Kuwait’s smartest residential buildings.

Adding to this, Ms. Lujain Al-Saleh, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at URC, highlighted: “The success of Hessah District is evident as residents begin moving into their homes. The project’s towers and townhouses are surrounded by a vibrant mix of commercial activities, including retail shops, cafes, restaurants, serviced apartments, medical clinics, and offices — soon transforming the District into a lively, dynamic hub.”

The two outstanding Hessah Towers elegantly soar 40 stories above the Kuwait City skyline, offering a refined selection of three-bedroom apartments, townhouses, and duplexes; all thoughtfully designed to elevate the experience of modern, luxurious urban living in Kuwait.

Byout Hessah comprises 40 luxury townhouses and two 12-floor residential buildings with 104 upscale apartments, including 7 exclusive penthouses, set amidst landscaped surroundings and conveniently located next to Hessah District’s retail & dining Plaza and other commercial components.

Residents of Hessah Towers and Byout Hessah enjoy a wide range of state-of-the-art facilities, including fitness centers equipped with the latest technology, swimming pools for adults and children, and dedicated indoor and outdoor recreational spaces.
