World’s Tallest Skyscraper Hits Major New Construction Milestone
The Jeddah Tower, the new world's tallest building, is "on track" to meet its 2028 completion date, an architect told Newsweek.
In a significant construction milestone, the Jeddah Tower in Saudi Arabia has reached a height of 454 meters (113 floors) as of this week, according to Saudi Binladin Group (SBG). This surpasses Malaysia's Petronas Towers, which held the title as the world's tallest building from 1998 until 2004. The Jeddah Tower, designed by architects Adrian Smith and Gordon Gill, is projected to reach a height of over 1,000 meters (3,281 feet) when completed, surpassing Dubai's Burj Khalifa, currently the tallest building at 2,717 feet.
