Jeddah Tower and the Mukaab: the headline projects
Jeddah Tower leads the under-construction list at a planned height of roughly one kilometre, set to become the first building past the 1,000-metre mark. In Riyadh, the Mukaab — part of the New Murabba project — stands out as one of the largest future buildings by sheer volume.
The expected completion dates show that the coming years will see several of these towers delivered in succession.
New clusters in Riyadh and Jeddah
Alongside the iconic projects, clusters such as the Sumou Towers on the Jeddah Corniche and the Avenues complex in Riyadh add a number of residential and hotel towers, densifying both cities' skylines and expanding their capacity.
