Kingdom
Tower previously known as Mile-High Tower is a super tall skyscraper
under construction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia at a preliminary cost of
SR4.6 billion (US$1.23 billion).
It will be the centerpiece and first phase of a SR75 billion (US$20 billion) proposed development known as Kingdom City that will be located along the Red Sea on the north side of Jeddah.
If completed as planned, the tower will reach unprecedented heights, becoming the tallest, as well as the first structure to reach the one-kilometer mark. The tower was initially planned to be 1.6-kilometre (1 mi) high; however, the geology of the area proved unsuitable for a tower of that height.
