Supertall building project: where the world's first building to exceed 1 kilometer in height is being built - interesting facts
Currently, the tallest building in the world is the Burj Khalifa skyscraper in the United Arab Emirates.
The height of the building, which was completed in 2010, is 829.8 meters. The building has 163 floors.
But it is possible that in 4-5 years a building will appear in Saudi Arabia that will be 177 meters taller than the Khalifa Tower.
We are talking about the Jeddah Tower - a project for the world's first building that will be more than 1 kilometer high.
What is known about Jeddah Tower
Construction of the potential "record-breaking building" began in 2013 on the shores of the Red Sea.
The work is being carried out 32 kilometers from the large city of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia.
At the beginning of 2018, a decision was made to suspend construction of the skyscraper due to financial difficulties.
However, in September 2023, the creation of the unique structure was resumed.
The construction of the kilometer-long building is planned to be completed in 2028 or 2029. The exact height of the 167-story skyscraper should be 1007 meters.
