Rise Tower (Arabic: برج رايز) is a skyscraper construction project proposed in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.[1] It is planned to be the first 2 km (6,562 ft) tall building and would be the world's tallest building or structure upon completion, standing 1180 m (3872 ft) taller than the Burj Khalifa and surpassing the Jeddah Tower by almost 1000 m. It was conceived in December 2022 by the Public Investment Fund and its designs were announced in August 2023 as the centerpiece of the North Pole project.

Overview

In December 2022, MEED reported that the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia is considering a plan to build the world's tallest skyscraper on an 18 square kilometers area in northern Riyadh, located in close proximity to the King Khalid International Airport with an estimated budget of US$5 billion.[2][3][4][5][6]

In August 2023, almost six months after the announcement of New Murabba project, the designs of Rise Tower were unveiled by Mohammed al-Qahtani, the CEO of Saudi Arabia Holding Company.[7][8] The skyscraper is set to be built on the site of 306 square kilometers North Pole project,[9] a planned mixed-use real estate development dubbed as 'city of the future'.[10][11][12]
