At over 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) and a total construction area of 530,000 square meters (5.7
million square feet), Jeddah Tower—formerly known as Kingdom Tower—will be the
centerpiece and first construction phase of the $20 billion Kingdom City development in
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, near the Red Sea.

4.  It was originally planned to cover 23 km² (8.9
square miles) and cost US$1.23 billion.
 The triangular footprint and sloped exterior of
Kingdom Tower is designed to reduce wind
loads; its high surface area also makes it ideal
for residential units
 The 23 hectare (57 acre) area around Kingdom
Tower will contain public space and a shopping
mall, as well as other residential and
commercial developments, and be known as
the Kingdom Tower Water Front District, of
which, the tower's site alone will take up
500,000 m2 (5,381,955 sq ft).
Planning

5. Another unique feature of the design is a sky
terrace, roughly 30 meters (98 feet) in diameter, at
level 157. The sky
terrace will be open to the public and will be
considered the world’s highest observatory when
opened in 2020.
