Saudi Arabia’s 1 KM Skyscraper is Growing FAST! 2026 Update

Описание: Saudi Arabia’s 1 KM Skyscraper Is Growing FAST — 2026 Construction Update

Once considered a dead megaproject, the Jeddah Tower is officially back.

After a seven-year shutdown, construction quietly restarted in early 2025 — and by December, the tower crossed a critical milestone: 80 floors completed.
But the real shock isn’t the height.
It’s the speed.

With one new floor rising every three days, the project could reach one kilometer by 2028, making it the tallest structure ever built by humans.

In this documentary-style breakdown, we analyze:

How the Jeddah Tower came back from the brink of collapse

The extreme engineering challenges behind a 1,000-meter skyscraper

Why concrete pumping becomes impossible above 500 meters

How steel, wind engineering, and deep foundations make this megastructure viable

Whether this comeback is sustainable… or a setup for another halt

More than a tower, the Jeddah Tower is the centerpiece of a $20 billion mega-city, designed to reshape Saudi Arabia’s future beyond oil.

Is this the greatest construction comeback ever — or history repeating itself?
