Reaching for the Sky

Jeddah Tower has reached the 800-meter mark in its construction, putting it on track to become the world's tallest building upon completion in 2028. The tower, designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, will stand at over 1,000 meters, surpassing Dubai's Burj Khalifa by more than 170 meters.

Engineering Marvel

The tower features several groundbreaking engineering innovations:

• Triangular floor plan that reduces wind loads by 30%
• Ultra-high-performance concrete rated at 80 MPa
• Sky terraces at 200m intervals for emergency evacuation
• The world's highest observation deck at 660 meters
• 57 elevators including double-deck express lifts reaching 10 m/s

Mixed-Use Development

Jeddah Tower will house a Four Seasons hotel, luxury residences, Grade A offices, and retail space. The surrounding Jeddah Economic City spans 5.3 million square meters and includes waterfront residences, a marina, and the Kingdom's largest aquarium.

Tourism Magnet

The observation deck alone is expected to attract 1.5 million visitors annually. Advance tickets are already on sale for the projected 2028 opening.
