The "Jeddah Tower" in Saudi Arabia is currently under development and is expected to surpass the famed Burj Khalifa in Dubai to become the newest tallest structure in the world.

Standing more than a kilometer tall, the tower will house hotels, apartments, and business offices, according to Architectural Digest.

The world's highest observatory will be located in the Jeddah tower, often referred to as the Kingdom tower.

One of the main characteristics of the design is a "three-petal footprint," which creates an aerodynamic shape in homes and reduces wind load.

The dynamic lift, which will operate inside this structure at a speed of 10 metres per second, is another notable element.

The building of the skyscraper was halted in 2018 following the arrest of Bakr bin Laden, the president of the contractor company BinLaden Group and Osama Bin Laden's half-brother, during the 2017–2019 Saudi Arabian purge. The COVID-19 pandemic caused additional delays.

But it was announced in September 2023 that the building's construction has restarted.

The $1.2 billion project is expected to be the focal point of the $20 billion Jeddah Economic City, a mixed-use neighbourhood situated on the Red Sea coast.
