"Kingdom Tower, previously known as Mile-High Tower (Arabic: برج الميل), is a supertall skyscraper approved for construction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia It will be the centrepiece and first phase of a $20 billion new development known as Kingdom City.
The tower was initially planned to be 1-mile (1.6 km) tall, but soil testing in the area cast doubt over the suitability of the area for a building of this height. The building has been scaled down to a height of at least 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) (the exact height is being kept private while in development, similar to the Burj Khalifa)] which would still be the tallest building in the world built to date, standing almost 600 ft (180 m) taller than the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
The building will house a Four Seasons hotel, Four Seasons serviced apartments, Class A office space, luxury condominiums and the world’s highest observatory."
