Planned as the first building to pass one kilometer. Work stopped around 2018 after upheaval at the project's backers and its main contractor, leaving a concrete stump of several dozen floors on the Red Sea coast.

A new construction contract was signed in 2025 and work restarted. The open question is pace: whether financing and the surrounding Jeddah Economic City district keep up with the tower.
