Jeddah Tower already uses more concrete than Burj Khalifa
Original: jeddah
Saudi Arabia's Jeddah Tower, planned to rise 3,280 feet as the world's tallest building, has consumed more concrete than the entire Burj Khalifa in Dubai despite being less than halfway to its planned height. The project has also surpassed an iconic New York skyscraper in height. Attention comes as the tower's scale draws fresh comparisons with other mega-projects, even as Houthi attacks on Saudi airports, including one in Riyadh, keep the country's security in the headlines.
Why now: Fresh construction milestones at Jeddah Tower have renewed global fascination with the future world's tallest building.
