Jeddah tower previously known as Kingdom Tower, is currently under construction with a planned completion date of 2020. the tower is being build in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It will be about 1,000 meters, or one kilometer (3,280 feet) tall, Jeddah tower when complete in 2020 will be second tallest building in the world after ‘The tower at dubai creek harbor’in dubai ,UAE
Jeddah Tower (formerly Kingdom Tower) is a planned 1,000 m-plus tower in Saudi Arabia; ground was broken in 2013 with completion initially expected in 2020[2][3]
Work stalled in early 2018 after the 2017 anti-corruption detentions, with the tower about a third complete, and Covid-19 further delayed resumption[2][3]
In October 2024 developer Jeddah Economic Company signed a SR7.2 billion ($1.9 billion) contract with Saudi Binladin Group to resume construction, set to take 42 months, with completion now scheduled for 2028[2][3]
At resumption 63 of 157 stories were built; total cost is expected to exceed SR100bn ($26.6bn), and the tower will hold residences, offices, a Four Seasons hotel and an observation deck[2][3]
The 2020 completion date in the pin was therefore not met; the later sources supersede it[2][3]
The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.
CNN reports construction on Jeddah Tower resumed in 2024 after a roughly seven-year halt tied to Saudi Arabia's anti-corruption purge, with completion now targeted for as early as 2028 - the tower had not neared completion by the pin's stored end of 2020, and no exact new completion day has been set.
