Saudi Arabia is back at it, restarting construction on the colossal $26B Jeddah Tower! Designed to soar over 1 km, this architectural beast aims to dethrone Dubai’s Burj Khalifa as the world’s tallest skyscraper.
Conceived by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, the tower’s sleek, tapered design will redefine the Jeddah skyline, housing luxury apartments, a Four Seasons hotel, offices, and observatories with jaw-dropping views. Halted in 2018 due to financial and political hurdles, the project’s revival signals Saudi Arabia’s bold ambition to cement its global stature through Vision 2030.
With over 60 floors already built, the tower is on track to surpass 1,000 meters, making it a marvel of engineering and a symbol of audacity.
The Kingdom aims to complete this mega-project by 2028, but can they pull it off? This isn’t just a building it’s a statement.
Will Jeddah Tower live up to the hype, or is it a risky bet in a volatile region? Drop your thoughts below
