Back in 2015, 360 Mall released renderings as well as a video showcasing their mall expansion which would include a tennis complex, a hotel and a new shopping area. Now, over four years later, those renderings are now a reality.
Yesterday I passed by and checked the new extension out and I really liked what I saw. The thing I liked the most about the extension is how bright and airy the mall felt because of the fact the whole roof is made of glass giving you the impression you’re walking outdoors. It reminded me of the Grand Avenues area in Avenues which is my favorite part of Avenues except I think the 360 Mall glass roof structure looks nicer.
The new extension houses the international tennis complex with all the arenas as well as a hotel. The extension will be connected to the main 360 Mall building via a closed bridge but the building also has its own large multi-story parking building so you don’t have to park in the already busy main 360 Mall lot.
I got a peek at the new tennis complex including the large outdoor arena that will host the Rafa Nadal vs David Ferrer match and it all looks great.
Even though it doesn’t look it from the photos, the new 360 Mall extension along with the tennis complex is set to open next month.

360 is my favorite mall in Kuwait (by far) and the reasons why I like it so much is because a) it has most of my favorite stores and b) it’s quaint. If they expand it to the size of The Avenues, it might lose its charm…
Sad.
Did you mean marina mall?
Lol no, I meant 360.
Any chance you know if we can get hold of tickets? Or is it the same old Wasta story🤔
no wasta needed, tickets were sold at their mall tennis exhibit for KD75 a few weeks ago and they got sold out. Match will be taking place at the small arena which can hold only 1,500 people.
Is that a glass roof/doom?
Would be the biggest greenhouse in kuwait
Another mall in the wall.
I don’t like it.
So with the glass roof in place…how hot is it likely to get during the summer…say the peak period during summer?
There would be air conditioning in the mall for sure but the heat that would prevail during the daytime, how would they counter this?
The same way Avenues does, lots of AC
I’m sure there will be coatings on the glass that reduces glare and reflect the sun’s heat away from the structure.
It looks beautiful from distance, close by its worst construction and finishes, no quality. If a tournament is conducted they don’t have a safety plan to handle 1500 spectators.
