Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman is on a mission to revolutionise the country, turning it into a city of the future, Express reported.
After introducing Neom projects to the world, which includes the highly anticipated "The Line" city, now the highly ambitious future king has set his eyes on constructing the world’s tallest building in Saudi Arabia’s capital Riyadh.
The Building will be 2 kilometre high, making it almost twice as high as Dubai's Burj Khalifa which is currently the world’s tallest building.
It is estimated that the cost of the building will be around US$ 5 billion.
According to a report in UK architecture magazine Architects' Journal (AJ), Company, Foster + Partners is designing the mega tall skyscraper in the north of the Saudi capital.
The AJ reports that the skyscraper will be located near the city's international airport, which is currently being redeveloped.
The building would also become the tallest building in Saudi Arabia, overtaking the 600-metre-high Abraj Al Bait Royal Clock Tower in Mecca.
The Saudi capital’s current tallest structure is the 10-year-old PIF Tower in the city’s King Abdullah Financial District. The building is 385m high and was designed by HOK and local architecture and engineering company Omrania.
