The Mile-High Tower is a skyscraper proposed for construction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. At 1,600 m it could be the tallest building ever built. The US$13.6 billion project, the centerpiece of a planned community near the coast, is being proposed by Al-Waleed bin Talal s Riyadh-based Kingdom Holding Company. According to current plans, the Mile High Tower''s architect will be Omrania and Associates, in collaboration with U.S. company Pickard Chilton. UK firm Hyder Consulting have been selected as engineering consultants for the project, in conjunction with Arup. The tower could be constructed by Bechtel, though Bechtel''s continued involvement has been questioned.
