Jeddah Tower: How the world’s tallest building plans to break the kilometer barrier

After a five-year pause, construction on the Jeddah Tower has resumed, aiming to reach over 1,000 meters tall by 2028 - nearly 180 meters higher than Dubai's Burj Khalifa. The kilometer-high structure features a Y-shaped design inspired by desert plant growth, revolutionary engineering including 270 foundation piles, and will anchor Saudi Arabia's $20 billion economic development project while housing luxury hotels, residences, and the world's highest observation deck.
