It is a Tri petal-shaped structure that has the highest observatory deck and hanging balcony, about 652 meters above the sea level. The cost estimation for the building is SR10 billion (US$10.23 billion) (preliminary). This city remains so hot in the summer season, so the exterior wall is made of low conductivity glass to reduce power use for air-conditioning. The tower building at such a height would require 80000 tons of steel. Construction of Jeddah Tower starts on April 1, 2013. In 2018 the tower construction was stopped due to labor issues and Saudi Arabian Purge. As a second chance, it was aimed to complete the tower in 2024.
