The world’s tallest building ‘Jeddah Tower’ being built in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia has achieved a new milestone. By February 7, 2026, the 89th floor of this tower will be completely completed. The construction work is going on at such a fast pace that now only 11 more floors have to be built to touch the historic figure of 100 floors. This project is an important part of Saudi Arabia’s ‘Vision 2030’ and the eyes of the whole world are fixed on it.
When will Jeddah Tower be ready?
The work of Jeddah Tower is going on at a very fast pace. The construction team is preparing a new floor every 3 to 4 days. Considering this pace, it has been estimated that this building will reach the 100th floor by the end of February 2026. Even after this the work will continue and it is expected to be completely completed by August 2028. When it is ready, its height will be more than 1000 meters, which is about 173 meters more than the current tallest building Burj Khalifa.
