Kuwait’s Public Authority for Housing Welfare (PAHW) has officially finalized infrastructure contracts for the South Saad Al-Abdullah City project. The contracts, which include the construction of roads, utilities, and substations, were signed on March 3, 2025. This marks an important milestone in the development of this large-scale residential project.
The signing ceremony was attended by notable figures, including the Minister of State for Municipal Affairs and Minister of State for Housing Affairs, Abdul Latif Al-Mishari. Also present were Authority leaders and the Ambassador of China to Kuwait, H.E. Zhang Jinwei, alongside his delegation.
Eng. Rashid Al-Anzi, the Acting Director General of the PAHW, highlighted that three contracts were signed with both local and international companies. These contracts cover roadworks and infrastructure development across all of the city’s suburbs. The total contract value is 261,772,505 dinars, with each contract set to be completed over 1,095 days.
The contracts encompass several major components. These include defining the boundaries for 23,551 residential plots, as well as paving the first and second layers of asphalt on all roads in the residential areas. Additionally, the project involves installing extensive networks for rainwater, sewage, irrigation, treated water, and fresh water. Telephone networks, road lighting systems, traffic management solutions, and electrical cable culverts are also part of the plan.
Furthermore, the contracts include constructing 52 irrigation tanks and 649 sub-electrical stations. The Housing Corporation has emphasized its commitment to accelerating the progress of the South Saad Al-Abdullah City project. Engineering teams are working under the direct supervision of the Minister of Housing to ensure the project moves forward efficiently.
Notably, the project is ahead of schedule. Infrastructure work on the main roads is already 26% complete—17% ahead of the planned timeline. This progress includes the installation of the rainwater drainage system and tunneling for the sewage system. Road lighting, retaining walls, and additional water tanks are also being constructed in several suburbs.
The ongoing implementation includes the development of bridges, tunnels, and networks for fresh and brackish water, all of which are crucial to the overall infrastructure of the city. As the project moves forward, it continues to play a key role in Kuwait’s long-term housing and infrastructure plans.
