The plans tells that it will be 1mile in height and twice to Burj
Dubai which is recently completed to about 160 floors in Dubai. The $10 billion
project is backed by Saudi billionaire, Prince al-Walid bin Talal, who
bought the Savoy Hotel in London for £1.25 billion in 2005. The Prince’s
company, Riyadh-based Kingdom Holdings, teamed with Hyder Consulting
and Arup for the project.
The big building in height competition among Arabs is really on peak
with a really ginormous tower just announced for Jeddah,
Saudi Arabia named as Mile Tower.Still now it's announced about it's
constuction that but we didn’t know where it would be built.
“The tower will have to be capable of withstanding a wide range of
temperatures, with its top baking in the desert sun by day but dropping
to well below freezing at night,” the Daily Mail says.
“To resist the strong winds prevalent in the area and stop it
swaying, giving its occupants a form of high-rise seasickness, it will
be fitted with a giant computer-operated damper.”
“Two ‘mini-towers’ - both taller than Canary Wharf - will be built on either side of the main tower.”
This project will not go well and I would be surprised if it were built.
Jeddah has suffered from devastating floods in recent years and
I’d
wager that its residents would far rather that its lake of human waste
was properly dealt with than a staggeringly expensive substitute for
someone’s masculinity was erected in the city. If this thing is built,
it will soon become the symbol and very personification of the
catastrophic waste and indulgence of Saudi Arabia’s elite.
