en.Wedoany.com Reported - The 100th floor of the Jeddah Tower in Saudi Arabia has been completed, marking a milestone in the global supertall building sector and the Middle East real estate market. This skyscraper in the Red Sea port city of Jeddah has ended a prolonged construction hiatus and is steadily advancing toward its record-breaking final height.

Upon completion, the Jeddah Tower will exceed 1,000 meters in height. This structural feat will make it the world's tallest building, surpassing Dubai's 828-meter Burj Khalifa. According to an updated timeline from the project's developer and architects, the tower is scheduled for completion in August 2028.

From a macroeconomic perspective, the construction of the Jeddah Tower is seen as a catalyst for high-end real estate development and investment-driven economic growth in Saudi Arabia. The tower's residential units are expected to set a new benchmark for luxury property prices within the kingdom.

Designed by the American architecture firm Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill (AS+GG) Architecture, the tower's tapered form is inspired by a folded paper airplane standing upright. The tower is the centerpiece of the master plan for Jeddah Economic City. This 5.3 million square meter urban development includes integrated residential communities and public parks, high-end commercial shopping districts and entertainment centers, a Four Seasons luxury hotel, and the world's highest public observation deck located near the 160th floor.

During construction, the engineering team must contend with the coastal environment along the Red Sea. The tower's structure relies on a foundation system supported by a 5-meter-thick concrete raft slab on 270 deep bored piles, with the deepest piles reaching 105 meters. The concrete pumping system utilizes a single-system high-pressure pump with the world's highest lift capacity, capable of delivering a specialized concrete mix to a height of 1,000 meters.

The tower's construction directly aligns with Saudi Arabia's national Vision 2030 plan. Despite recent adjustments to other large-scale projects within the country, the $2.7 billion Jeddah Tower is proceeding as scheduled.
