The skyscraper, which will rise over 1 kilometer in height, will surpass the 172-meter Burj Khalifa in the United Arab Emirates. For the JEC Building. The architecture of the project was undertaken by Chicago-based architecture firm Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill (AS+GG), and its design was inspired by the leaves of a local flower that grows in the arid desert. This creates a slim profile.
The Saudi prince responsible for the project and Chairman of the Kingdom Holding Company, Al-Waleed bin Talal Al-Saud, estimates that the skyscraper will reach a height of more than 1,000 meters, about 0.62 miles, and the first phase will cover an area of 1.5 square kilometers.
However, the prince later said that the final height is not yet known and could be higher. This means that it will be almost twice as tall as One World Trade Center, the tallest skyscraper in the United States, and at least twice as high as the Empire State Building in New York.

Around $1.2 billion has been allocated for the construction of the tower. When the interior of the giant skyscraper is complete, it will have 59 elevators and 157 floors. It will include a 5-star hotel, world-class viewing points, large offices, and ultra-luxury residences.
The Saudi prince explained that it takes four days to lay the stones of each building, so we can complete a lot of work in a short time. The companies involved want to increase the height at which the stones can be placed from 800 meters to 1,000 meters. There is a big plan for schools, colleges, and hospitals. They have to be behind the times because of the kingdom's work, but not too much.
There are already plans for more skyscrapers and smaller buildings that will house up to 100,000 people. The JEC Tower is still not expected to be finished until 2028. The goal of this and other projects in the Saudi Vision 2030 plan is to make the kingdom's economy more diverse, so it makes sense that they are running a little behind schedule.
