The World's Tallest Building Project

The Kingdom Tower, which is to be built in Saudi Arabia, will be at least 3280 feet tall (2/3 of a mile). Prince Alwaleed bin Talal signed a $1.23 billion contract with the Binladen group for the proposed project. The tower will be built in the city of Jeddah. It will take an estimated time of 5 years in order to complete the tower, which is beginning its construction this year. Adrian Smith, the man who designed what is currently the tallest tower that sits in Dubai at 2718 feet, will be designing the Kingdom Tower with his firm. When the tower is completed, it will have 59 elevators and 12 escalaters. That's a BIG tower!!!!!!!!
