Kilometer-high Saudi tower inches closer to world's tallest record
The JEC Tower has hit another milestone on its journey to become the new world's tallest skyscraper. The building is rapidly moving toward the halfway mark and has reached a height of 430 m (1,410 ft), with around 570 m (1,870 ft) left to go until the record-breaking megatall is completed.
Located in the port city of Jeddah, in Saudi Arabia, the JEC Tower (which also goes by Jeddah Economic Company Tower or Jeddah Tower) is designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill, the former responsible for the design of the current world's tallest building, the 828-m (2,717-ft) Burj Khalifa. Once finished, this latest supertall will include at least 157 floors and will be almost twice the height of the tallest building in the USA, the 541-m (1,776-ft) One World Trade Center.
Tower set to redefine global skyline passes 430m mark on path to becoming world's tallest building
Despite building work starting over 13 years ago amid financial and contractor issues, construction has finally resumed on Jeddah Tower — the structure which is set to become the world's tallest building with a planned finished height of over 1,000 meters.
The Burj Khalifa has long-held the title of the world's tallest building since construction finished in 2009, standing at a staggering 828 meters and overtaking Taipei 101 for the title with a lead of over 300 meters in the end.
A similar smashing of the record could soon be achieved by Jeddah Tower, however, as it nears its estimated completion date of August 2028 with progress finally resuming.
