Extended-Stay hotels, such as Residence Inn by Marriott, offer accommodations designed for longer stays, featuring larger rooms with kitchenettes or full kitchens, and are aimed at people who are relocating, or guests needing temporary housing.
Select-Service Hotels, such as Courtyard by Marriott and Hampton Inn, are similar to limited-service but may offer some extra amenities like a small breakfast bar or convenience shop.

These offer an all-in-one urban experience, often encompassing the skyscrapers or properties combined with shopping malls or residential buildings.

Each type of hotel development caters to a wide range of market needs, from budget stays to high-end luxury experiences.
Why Buy or Invest in New Real Estate Developments in Kuwait.
Kuwait has a strong, oil-driven economy, and it continues to show resilience. The government has been focused on diversifying its economy, particularly through investments in infrastructure, which includes new and off-plan real estate developments. This focus creates a stable environment for long-term investments in property.
With a growing population and increasing disposable income among the Kuwaiti middle class, there is a rising demand for modern, luxury residential units, commercial spaces, and mixed-use developments. Investors can take advantage of this by purchasing property in newly developed areas, which may appreciate over time.
Kuwait has a solid legal framework to protect real estate investors. There are property ownership laws in place for foreign investors, particularly in specific areas such as freehold properties. The legal environment offers transparency and security for individuals looking to invest.
Kuwait is working to attract more tourists with gated communities and dedicated resorts, cultural, entertainment, and sports events, including major international exhibitions like the Kuwait International Fair. This increase in tourism can lead to higher demand for short-term rental properties and commercial spaces to accommodate tourists and businesses.
The increasing number of businesses, multinational companies, and startups in Kuwait creates demand for high-quality commercial real estate, including office spaces, retail outlets, and industrial properties. Investing in such developments can yield long-term returns.
