Kingdom Holding Company has officially restarted construction on the Jeddah Tower, with concrete pouring now underway. The tower, expected to surpass 1,000 meters in height, will become the world’s tallest building, transforming the Jeddah skyline and establishing Saudi Arabia as a hub for architectural excellence and economic opportunity.
According to Eng. Talal AlMaiman, CEO of Kingdom Holding Company, “Today’s ceremony represents the realization of a vision that took years in the making. Jeddah Tower will serve as a beacon of innovation and a catalyst for growth.”
The Jeddah Economic Company is overseeing the project in collaboration with renowned architects Adrian Smith and Gordon Gill Architecture, engineers from Thornton Tomasetti, and Langan International. The tower will feature luxury residences, commercial spaces, a Four Seasons hotel, and an observation deck offering breathtaking views of the city and the Red Sea.
In October 2024, the Saudi Binladin Group was awarded a $1.92 billion contract to resume construction on the Jeddah Economic Company Tower project. This contract marks a significant milestone in the tower’s development.
