The 170-storey building is expected to be completed soon.
Jeddah: Dubai's Burj Khalifa, currently the world's tallest building, will soon relinquish its title to Saudi Arabia's Jeddah Tower.
Construction on Jeddah Tower began in 2013 but faced several years of suspension.
Recently, the Jeddah Economic Company (JEC) announced the resumption of construction.
Upon completion, Jeddah Tower will soar to a height of 3,280 feet, surpassing the 2,722-foot Burj Khalifa, which spans 163 stories.
Media reports indicate that JEC will solicit bids for the construction contract by the end of 2023.
Despite previous delays and financial setbacks, the tower, initially proposed in 2008, appears to be on track for completion.
An earlier target for Jeddah Tower's completion was set for 2019, which proved unattainable.
The 170-story tower will house a range of amenities, including a hotel, apartments, offices, an outdoor deck, and other structures.
Initially budgeted at $2 billion, the project's extended timeline suggests an increase in the overall cost, though the exact figure remains undisclosed.
