This one is located in Riyadh on King Fahd Road just one block north of Al Faisliya. It's a nice looking tower with a blue glass facade and a relatively high spire. The tower is not that high (maybe 100 m) but it will balance the skyline between Al Faisaliya and Kingdom Center a little. The excavation has already started few days ago.

I'll post a rendering of the tower when I upload the photo tomrrow.

The spire looks like the one being built on Al Anoud tower.

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to give an update on thsi project, i passed by it a day ago, and they are almost done with the foundation of the building, probably within a few weeks it will start rising above the ground. and according to the contractor TABOUk the project will be ready by June 2008.

correction: contractor is TAROUK :)

wow very nice
when will they make towers in jeddah?

Inshallah Soon, after they finish this one.
:lol:

Official news from the contractor, the tower will be 165 M. Making it the third highest tower in Riyadh. Can one of the moderators change the title to 165 M.

http://www.tarouk.com/

^^^^
You might want to send them a message to eliminate the typos.
BTW, is it a residential use building or an office building?
I don't beleive it is the third highest. There are already three; Kingdom Tower, Faisaliyah and Ta'awuniyah Towers, aren't these higher?
and I've seen some good projects in there website. What about that Pension Agency/Oger buidling? looks nice. is it the same being built opposide to ministry of industry and commerce. I think I'm correct.

BTW, again, where does the word Oger come from? Don't tell me it is from Ogre.:laugh:

165m!!!sound interesting! in which floor they are now?

I don't remember any thing being u\c in that area

165m!!!sound interesting! in which floor they are now?

They are about 2-3 floors high now. according to their website the project will be finished by the end of 2008. The site is about 300-400M North from Faisaliya on King Fahd. Maybe someone with a digital Camer can take some photos of the site.

XP, the Tawaniya towers are 101 M high, so that makes the tower the third highest as of now, other projects like Al Rajhi and Jawhara are not under construction yet. I also beleive it will be a commercial tower, since its a business district.

For the pension fund, i'm not sure but i think i saw something like that being built on Dabbad street a yr ago.

^^NO!!! Last week I saw it and it was maximum 1 floor...

VETTEC & beirut guy, thanks for clafirication.

long time to go!

how do we spell this tower in Arabic?
الواصل, الوصيل ,الوسيل ؟؟؟

thanks for the update beirut guy...

It looks artistic, like a painting. I think because of the tinted glass of your car window?

Still work is going on at 5th floor painted pic BG:lol:

haha...nope...I ddnt do anything to that pic...and "my" car's glass are not tinted.
What happened is that I ddnt have my phone that day so I had to take another person's phone to take photos. And since the quality is not as good as mine's...there's that pinky effect in the middle of the pic...

(We had a sand storm in the past 3 days, until today, so the photo's quality might not be that good...)

awesome pictures beirut guy... i hope you didn't have plans to go to Lebanon this summer and I hope peace will come back to the streets of Beirut soon..

^^Thanks!!! The photos' quality improved because I am using my new camera :) (But there is always this problem of glass reflection because I take most of my photos from the car)...This bldg is strating to have an impact on the whole area...

About Lebanon, well...what is happening there is so sad...We all hope peace will come back because will really had enough of conflicts and war...Of Course I had plans to go to Lebanon this summer, as I do every summer...I even already have my airplane ticket...If the situation gets better and they find a solution for everything, I think I will go as planed, but nothing is definitive...what I know is that I can't spend all summer in Riyadh lol

what I know is that I can't spend all summer in Riyadh lol

^^ nice update :)
It's almost finished

I am very disappointed with this tower. It looked great on the render, with the beige cladding. But this?!

^^ Actually.. I consider this tower one of the few towers that sticked to their visualised renders. It looks the same as the render except for the spire part and for the thing holding it & since the tower isn't finished yet we can only wait and see if it's gonna turn out as hoped or not
