Completed in 2002, the Kingdom Tower is the sixth-tallest skyscraper in Saudi Arabia. The tower is regarded as one of the most unique landmarks in Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom Tower is located in Al Olaya and also showcases a selection of the finest local and international brands at the 57,000-square-metre Al Mamlaka shopping mall.
It is the world’s third-tallest building with a hole after the Shanghai World Financial Center and the 85 Sky Tower in Taiwan. The Kingdom Tower was developed by Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal and designed by the team of Ellerbe Becket and Omrania.
