Future World’s Tallest Tower Faces El Niño Challenge Before Major Milestone
Resumen detallado
The tower is expected to surpass the Burj Khalifa sometime around the third quarter of 2028, the general contractor told Newsweek.
The Jeddah Tower, poised to be the world’s tallest building upon completion, is expected to hit its record-setting biggest milestone yet in just over a year-and-a-half, but faces the unpredictable challenge of a "Super El Niño" before getting there, the team behind the project told Newsweek.
Designed by architects Adrian Smith and Gordon Gill, co-founders of Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture (AS+GG), and constructed by the Saudi Binladin Group (SBG), the Jeddah Tower will climb to 1,000 meters (around 3,281 feet) high once completed.
The Jeddah Tower is projected to surpass the Burj Khalifa sometime around the third quarter of 2028, SBG’s senior executive project director Ian Norman Miller, the general contractor who is on the tower’s construction site daily, told Newsweek.
