CVU has confirmed that as of 31 August, Jeddah Tower has climbed to 454 meters, reaching the 113th floor. The project is continuing to advance in its construction and upon completion is projected to exceed 1,000 meters, rivaling the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, currently the tallest skyscraper in the world.
Designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, with engineering by Thornton Tomasetti, the building integrates advanced structural systems, high-performance materials, and wind-engineering strategies tailored to extreme height. Its design responds to the technical demands of vertical scale, where structural efficiency and aerodynamic performance become defining parameters.
The project brings together an expert multidisciplinary team including Jeddah Economic Company, Langan, RWDI, Dar Al-Handasah, and Turner International, underscoring the complexity of delivering a structure at this scale.
CVU will continue to report on progress of this ambitious project that is highly anticipated after having significant delays in its development. The project reflects an ongoing exploration into how extreme verticality can support dense, multifunctional urban environments.
