Saudi Arabia will not rest until it becomes the best and a beacon of growth, thanks to its visionary Crown Prince, MBS. The glory days of the iconic Burj Khalifa are numbered, as Riyadh could become home to the world’s largest tower, Rise Tower. According to MEED, the superstructure will stand over 2,000 meters tall, surpassing Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, which is 828 meters tall. The project is estimated to cost about $5 billion to construct and will be a part of the North Pole Project by Saudi Arabia Holding Co, per TimeoutRiyadh.


The North Pole Project in Saudi Arabia is envisioned as a ‘city of the future.’ It will sprawl across 306 square kilometers in the north of Riyadh. The Rise Tower is touted to be a slim, sleek structure that seems to touch the sky. Bike lanes, pathways, pedestrian-friendly streets, and several parcels of nature will surround it. Furthermore, it will boast green credentials and be powered by solar energy as well as renewable sources.
