The design for Jeddah's proposed Mile High tower will be unveiled in the first week of October.
The unveiling forms part of an exhibition being held in Jeddah, detailing various development projects.
It will be the first time the tower designs will have been revealed to the public.
Kingdom Holding, which is developing the tower, will be showcasing the structure as part of the wider 5.3 square kilometre real estate project it has planned, located in the north of the city near the creek.
The investment value of the project is estimated at SR50bn ($13.6bn) on completion.
It will be split into a residential area of 1.5 million sq m, a business zone of 800,000 sq m, and a 470,000 sq m commercial area.
There will also be an education area of 150,000 sq m, along with leisure and tourism facilities and hotels.
