[xPanzerschreck]

What a waste of money,they could invest that money on so much other potential things.Yet they only seem that money goes is building higher buildings in the dessert area where land is abundant

[AVIATIO]

Mankind is become craziness itself walking upon the earth...a disease perhaps.

Muslim countries are creating so many huge skyscrapers and I heard this isn't the end of it. I don't know why the gulf countries are competing with each other on who can build the biggest. haha the US tallest building is going to be the Freedom Tower which isn't even in the top 12.

[KmShaon2]

@TheOfficialSimba1 Do you like Kingdom Tower?

[KmShaon2]

@TheOfficialSimba1 The same thing to Kingdom Tower.

[MZO0100]

Niiiiiiiiise

1600m = 1k

-.- I LOVE K.S.A

[samimarwan1990]

@MZO0100 It was supposed to be 1609 m = 1 mile but then they decided to be only 1000m=1km .

[brandeezy108]

@samimarwan1990 it would be way more expensive as a mile high than a kilometer high.

[KmShaon2]

Kingdom Tower is taller than Burj Khalifa because it has a big antenna spire.

[michaelshorman]

@XxMODERNWARFARE2x I dont get your point

[2011CJM]

ha this is wrong it wont cost 20 billion to make you obvisouly dont read the tower itself will cost 1.3billion (cheap) dollars but the whole city they are building will cost 20 billion so this is a load of shit

[mnwaini]

stupid saudis. if only osama is still alive.

[Immaculate210]

I find it funny how all these countries can afford wasting money on all these rediculous buildings for honestly, NO REASON. Then people have the nerve to complain about the economy and complain about money. Then they take away peoples money through taxes to blow money on pointless skyscrapers like this and many others. LMFAO...

[moople2]

@Immaculate210 - Are you serious?

What do you suppose the Burj Khalifa is doing for the global economy? That's right. Creating jobs before it was built, spurring tourism (just paid for my Dubai vaca) which helped MY country's economy.

But I could care less about that. I see these endeavors as the human species trying to make the world beautiful. Try opening your eyes. Otherwise stay off the sites I look at.

[Anon7771]

So glad this ain't being built in my country. Complete waste like the other tower to its east.

[Coolrockndad]

WOW, just goes to show how much the oil dollar can buy !

[Sumoto999]

Beautiful tower Saudi Arabia. A building so Islamic its designed by British engineers and American Architects. I sure hope 19 Saudi Nationalist don't decide to ram an airliner smack dab into the middle of it. Cuz you Saudi's know a thing or two about that don't ya? Don't mind the poor, or the sick, or investments in your nations well being. Building a half empty office building to compensate for your small manhood is much more important....

[1stmeandyou]

@Sumoto999 it wasnt saudi arabia that that destroyd the world trade center in USA but it was al qaida an AFGHANI terrorist group, your not so well educated are you? but your country is in dept for 14.3 trillion dollars, amerca doesnt invest in the countries well bieng they invest in making the largest tower in miami that costs well over 20 billion USD please learn your facts before you spread hate on the internet.

[pacifiedfools]

@Sumoto999 Yeah, don't worry about the subjugation of women and coerced genital cutting -- that's not a big deal. Just try and put Saudi Arabia on the map as the country with the biggest building. Oh, and when some other country, like Dubai, tries to outcompete you by building a taller building you can just go and ram a couple planes into it.

[ZeozXalOtibi]

@Sumoto999

what ever dude we got the tallest building and you dont

envy !!!

[xPanzerschreck]

@ZeozXalOtibi the way you said really shows how immature you are.People are not envy when your countryman pay their engineers to build large buildings

[ZeozXalOtibi]

@xPanzerschreck

what ever dude we still have the tallest building

envy

[xPanzerschreck]

@ZeozXalOtibi yeah dude,we are envious of your tall building =.=

[ZeozXalOtibi]

@xPanzerschreck

will dont be , its not good

[Scoinsoffaterocks]

And I thought my commute was a pain...

[HaloTrackStudios]

dude its going to be over 5000 feet tall not 3000

[redelman43199]

A futuristic tower in a place stuck in the middle ages. How tacky.

[IslamNowUK]

That money should be going to our brothers and sisters in Yemen, Pakistan, Indonesia or to build greater infrastructure in the kingdom for the support of a future economy as to when the oil may dissipate and Allah Knows Best

[EntertaningAmerica]

Talk about the Empire State Building in the 30's-40's(aka empty state building). Who needs people when you can have over 5 1/2 million sq feet to yourself :)

[EntertaningAmerica]

Nice to see them spend that oil money well. To bad America can't make them anymore. Have fun with your 1km tall tower, we are stuck with about 100floors :(

[LinkinPark640]

The Man Behind The Kingdom Tower,Prince Al Walid Bin Talal Al Saoud Abdelaziz is a Financier,The Arabian Warrren Buffett is you prefere,He has actually no interest in oil.....I do personaly think that those kind of project are uneconomic,finding tenants will be a major Headache.

[Anon7771]

@EntertaningAmerica We don't need to.

[vididi34]

The French Spiderman climed all the tall towers including Burj Khalifa.... But I don't think he would make it with THAT!

[Chris58851]

Nice, this could throw out Dubai rents.

[andyalin]

Theyr just competing with Dubai. Dubai may will not have the tallest tower in the world after this finishes but they got far more sexy looking buildings. tbh i hate saudia arabia

[1fightmagnet]

@:22 States the building will cost $20 Billion, wrong.

The Kingdom Tower a "triangular structure will be the focal point of Kingdom City, a sprawling urban development that will cost a reported $20 billion."

Kingdom city will cost $20 Billion to develop, not the Tower itself.

[superbcool10]

@1fightmagnet yep ur right.. the tower itself will cost around $1.23 billion

[warcloud463]

whoa

[SuperRip7]

This is great. This is the first project in Saudi Arabia that has nothing to do with mosques, terrorism, or jihad.

[G2wo6ixnation]

if filled,it will have half the population of jeddah :D

[Hostile]

i want to jump off it

[Linkage1992]

It looks like something straight out of Star Wars. Amazing.

[MrDetwaa]

Is it just me or does this building not look a lot like the one WRIGHT designed called the Illinois.

[dgelevators1]

@MrDetwaa that it does,and it is similar in hieght as well,but i have doubts on wether it will get completed

[redelman43199]

@MrDetwaa Yes it is the same design, the Saudis stole it.

[MedinaLights]

that will be really crazy tall building
