Kingdom Tower | 1 Km Height | 156 Floors | Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Kingdom tower is under construction at Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The tower will be 1000 meters high, pushing Burj Khalifa to spot #2 (828 meters). The construction of the tower has been approved and because the soil conditions did not permit, the overall height of the tower had to be brought down from 1.6 km to under 1 km. The overall cost of construction is estimated to be about $1.23 billion.

Here's a graphical comparison of the Kingdom Tower, Burj Khalifa and the rest.
