I noticed today that they’ve started demolishing the original KTV buildings on the Gulf Road. I don’t know why but I always imagined refurbishing the block and turning it into something like AlSerkal Avenue in Dubai, large spaces housing art galleries, cafes, lifestyle shops.
I’ve heard they’re planning to build a large gym on that plot, not sure how accurate that info is but it would suck if thats why these buildings were demolished.

They could’ve made a KTV museum! 😭
Imagine if it was a gym (prolly Oxygen) the number of silverados and Tahoes on the already over capacity gulf road on a regular day!!!!!
Not Oxygen, they bought a bunch of buildings across from Alive Yoga and will be demolishing and building there. I think it was Platinum gym building in on the KTV plot? Need to find the article I came across a few weeks ago
Oh great more steroid syringes in the parking lots.
Fantastic shot of the very early life of the towers. As someone who actually lived in Ahmadi in the 1950’s it is nostalgic to see the outskirts of the city as it was. Incidentally, showing my ignorance, what are the KTV buildings
Sorry, KTV = Kuwait Television
Hi Mike,
Totally unrelated but I’m writing a thesis on Ahmadi and was wondering if you would be down to talk about your experience there in the 1950s.
EPIC, How old do you think Mark is? 1950’s? Hahahahahahhahah….wait wait wait….. Buhahahahahahh

I never knew these existed, Mark. Where were they located – Sharq? Please let me know so that I can mentally picture if I have ever past by them.
still in the same place as the black and white photo lol, across from the Kuwait Towers on the Gulf Road
Thank you. Is that where Mais Alghanim and DHL where – long time ago? Both have left from there.
yes! exactly, those same buildings belonged to KTV previously
