Jeddah Tower which was earlier named Kingdom Tower is now 20% complete and is slated for completion in 2018 according to developers Jeddah Economic Company. When complete, the tower will be 1 km tall and will be the tallest man-made structure on earth. A livecam screengrab shows that construction is in full swing.
The tower is one-third owned by Prince Alwaleed bin Talal’s Kingdom Holding. Although the number of floors has not yet been disclosed, the tower is expected to have 167 floors and the entire area around it – called the Jeddah Economic City – will become the centre of attention in Jeddah.
You still have another 2 years to visit Burj Khalifa in Dubai and visit the current tallest building in the world.
