This building was supposed to be built in 1993 but then it was put on hold until now. Today with the massive demand for office space they are planning to build two new towers at the core area. Take a look at the old design while I dig in for more information.

Cool. I know this sounds silly but will they be built then in Aramco itself or the city?

If you look closely at the render you can see the two old buildings on the background..

Ya. I passed by Aramco but never saw towers so I thought they might shift it to the city although I know that that doesn't make sense at all, besides providing a better skyline to Khobar.

FYI, what people know as Dhahran is actually Aramco's areas.

Ya I know that, I've had friends who lived there, and it's huge, sooo much land on offer and it's called the mini states but I heard things got a bit stricter now.

It's called "Aramco Camp" and it was designed for the expats who work for Aramco. It does look like a slice of an American town, even women can drive there. Now there are maybe more Saudi families living there than expats.
