"The building is designed in a neo-futuristic style, an avant-garde aesthetic often underpinned by the use of world-class technology and a rethinking of both the form and function of developments. Renderings show a singular, slender tower, which subtly tapers towards its apex. As Smith and Gill explain, the shape is inspired by new palm fronds, which are abundant in Saudi Arabia."
"Jeddah Tower will serve as a beacon of innovation and a catalyst for growth... Today's progress represents the realization of a vision that was years in the making."
"The geometry of the tower, starting at the base as a single tripod form then gradually separating at the spire, is tied to the wind performance characteristics of the tower-an analogy of new growth fused with technology,"
Jeddah Tower will be built in Jeddah on the Red Sea coast, the country's second‑most populated city. The project will join existing local landmarks such as the Penang Floating Mosque and Al Balad with its coral-built homes. The tower serves as the focal point of a broader effort under Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 to diversify the economy, society, and culture and to raise the kingdom's global profile. The tower embodies technological ambition and neo‑futuristic design, with renderings showing a slender form tapering toward the apex inspired by new palm fronds. The structure's geometry begins as a single tripod at the base and gradually separates toward the spire to improve wind performance and symbolize growth fused with technology. The Jeddah Economy Company positions the project as a catalyst for innovation and growth.
