Petronas were probably the lamest of "tallest" buildings. Fake taller than the Sears Tower as they were. |

I’ve seen Jeddah Tower making a little progress so far, so it’s not 100% on-hold really. I’ve seen this on the video on skyscrapercity.com about Jeddah Tower.

Any updates or changes?

^ This page has the latest info that I could find: https://constructionreviewonline.com...-need-to-know/ . It says:
"2018 Kingdom Holding Company signed a deal with Orange Business Services to provide information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure to Jeddah Tower. Construction of the tower moved forward after a short delay. There was steady progress but building owner JEC halted structural concrete work with the tower about one-third completed due to labor issues with a contractor following the 2017–19 Saudi Arabian purge. JEC said they plan to restart construction in 2020. 2020 Resumption of construction works was made impossible by the Covid-19 pandemic." |
Anything new for 2022?

they've apparently been making progress on utilities in the general vicinity including paving roads but no sign of work restarting on the tower itself anytime soon.
|
They should just do the Chinese thing and cut the tower off at 400m
|
Anything on this guy?

Will the Jeddah Tower, World's Tallest Building, Ever Be Finished? Dave Roos Jun 14, 2022 Quote:

It will be finished as soon as the NEOM line building is finished. ;)
White elephants are not an endangered species in KSA. |
I'm so glad its failing and will hopefully never be completed. Makes absolutely no sense to build this thing in the middle of the desert. :shrug:
|
^For the record, this building isn't being built "in the middle of a desert" but rather as a landmark structure to anchor a larger business development outside the city of Jeddah. . . say what you want about white elephants and whatnot, but let's keep the hyperbole out of the conversation. . . and on topic. . . [/MODERATOR NOTE]

Are you kidding? Hyperbole is the nature of all supertalls. Lighten up Mr. Moderator.
