Development Firms
The project is being developed by Jeddah Economic Company (JEC), a prominent Saudi real estate development firm, heavily backed by Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal’s Kingdom Holding Company, which is also a major international investment firm. The JEC is managing the project in co-operation with renowned architects Adrian Smith & Gordon Gill Architecture, and engineers from Thornton Tomasetti and Langan International.

Once completed, the tower is expected to surpass Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, becoming the first skyscraper to exceed 1-km in height. The mixed-use building will boast residences, a luxury hotel, office spaces and one of the world’s highest observation decks.
