The '''Arraya Tower''' is a [[skyscraper]] completed in 2009 in [[Kuwait City]], [[Kuwait]]. The tower serves as a grade-A office structure. With sixty storeys, and 300 metres high (with a 45-metre spire), the building was the tallest tower in Kuwait until the construction of [[Al Hamra Tower]] in 2011. On January 19, 2010, The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) announced that Arraya Tower was the 4th-tallest building completed in 2009.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ctbuh.org/HighRiseInfo/TallestDatabase/TallestBuildingsCompleted/2009BuildingsCompleted/tabid/1353/language/en-US/Default.aspx |title=Tallest Buildings Completed in 2009 |website=www.ctbuh.org |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100323041202/http://ctbuh.org/HighRiseInfo/TallestDatabase/TallestBuildingsCompleted/2009BuildingsCompleted/tabid/1353/language/en-US/Default.aspx |archive-date=2010-03-23}} </ref>
Fentress Architects are the principal architects of the building, and Ahmadiah Construction is the primary contractor. The tower will complement the existing 130-meter high Arraya Tower housing offices and the Courtyard by Marriott hotel, as well as the upscale Arraya Shopping Mall and the Arraya Ballroom.▼
