The Jeddah Tower, under construction in Saudi Arabia's coastal city of Jeddah, has achieved a significant construction milestone by reaching its 109th floor. The ongoing development marks substantial progress toward completing what is expected to become the world's tallest building.
Upon completion, the structure is projected to exceed 1 kilometre in height, a feat that will dethrone Dubai's Burj Khalifa, which currently stands at 828 metres and has held the title of world's tallest building since its inauguration in 2010. The Jeddah Tower is part of Saudi Arabia's broader ambitious development plans as the kingdom diversifies its economy beyond oil production.
The construction milestone reflects the scale and complexity of the project, which has become a symbol of Saudi Arabia's modernization efforts. While no official completion date has been announced, progress on the tower continues as engineers and construction teams work to bring the megastructure to fruition.
The Jeddah Tower will feature residential, hotel, and commercial spaces, making it not only the world's tallest building but also a mixed-use development. Its completion is anticipated to reshape Jeddah's skyline and contribute to the city's positioning as a major global hub.
