World's tallest building the Jeddah tower.(To be completed by the end of 2019).

The next wonder of construction is Jeddah Tower(kingdom tower),Much bigger than Burj khalifa.The Jeddah Tower construction started on April 1st 2013 with a preliminary cost of SR4.6 billion.
The Jeddah Tower is to rise more than a kilometre  almost 3,300 feet  above the desert, making it taller than Dubai's Burj khalifa which is 2,717 feet.
The project was delayed but it may be completed till late 2019," Prince Alwaleed bin Talal is constantly taking a look at the construction.
Alwaleed chairs the Kingdom Holding Company, whose affiliated Jeddah Economic Company is developing the spire-topped landmark.

The project contractor Saudi Binladin Group was among construction firms in the kingdom that suffered financially after a collapse in oil revenues from 2014.

Any how the construction never stopped it is delayed but the workers are working at full pace.

A comparison between Kingdom Tower and other world's tallest buildings.
The company, which has developed other prominent buildings in Saudi Arabia, was founded more than 80 years ago by the father of deceased Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
Alwaleed first announced plans for the tower in August 2011, saying it would take 36 months to build after the start of construction.
By November 2014, a four-storey foundation was in place and Alwaleed said the building would be finished in 2018,but because of some obstacles it wasn't possible.
