Jeddah Tower is set to exceed one kilometer in height
Where ancient trade routes meet a modern megacity, Saudi Arabia’s new landmark is rising. Jeddah, once a modest port has catapulted itself into a vibrant metropolis in just five decades. Today, the city is a melting pot of tradition and technology, bazaar and business, past and vision. Nothing makes this clearer than the city’s great tower, which is currently under construction: Jeddah Tower will cost approximately US$1.7 billion and is scheduled for completion in 2028.
Its proximity to the Red Sea will make it a gigantic beacon for a region that is currently reinventing itself. And right in the middle of it all: the fischer Group of Companies.
The fastening pioneer from the northern Black Forest is supplying steel and chemical products for the mega-project. fischer experts are on site and will accompany those involved in the construction until the project is successfully completed.
Experts support the mega-project through completion
The Jeddah Tower is one of a series of record-breaking buildings in the world that feature fischer solutions. These include: the ‘Ain Dubai’, the world’s tallest observation wheel; the Burj Khalifa, at 828 meters the current leader among the world’s skyscrapers; the Louvre Abu Dhabi Museum with its striking architecture and many other landmarks in the region.
