The Jeddah Tower in Saudi Arabia is designed to reach a height of 1,008 meters, surpassing Dubai's Burj Khalifa Tower to become the world's first kilometer-high building. As a centerpiece of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 initiative, the project involves a total investment of over $26 billion.

Construction of the tower began in 2013 but was halted in 2018 due to geopolitical factors. Work resumed in early 2025, and the tower has now reached 100 stories and a height exceeding 400 meters. It is scheduled for completion in 2028. This successful bid reflects Jinggong International Co's long-standing technical expertise in the Middle East and its strong partnership with Saudi Arabia.
