The design doesn't optimize the office space.The taller floor will have a very small floorplan

Love the Kingdom Center Tower, but this one.. not to much.

Same Architects.

What a wonderful tower, it will improve Riyadh's skyline. I love the othe two towers, they're wonderful too.

some_stupid_nut · April 23rd, 2007, 03:56 AM

Don't they still have that rule that limits buildings to 30 floors? Does that spire and helipad not count?

TallBox · April 23rd, 2007, 04:00 AM

I thought this was the skyscraper for Karachi?

fahed · April 23rd, 2007, 07:04 AM

The tower's design is promissing .. I like it.

You're probably confusing it with the one being constructed in Islamabad, Pakistan by the name Centaurus. That one does resemble this one, after all they're both designed by the same architect: Atkins.

Riyadhi · April 23rd, 2007, 12:12 PM

I think that the second render that atlaslion posted in the original thread is for Centaurus.

aravinda · April 23rd, 2007, 12:22 PM

im sure that the second pic in the first post is of a proposed structure in Pakistan.
other than that, the helipad and what appears to be a viewing gallery / restaurent looks very similar to the burj. could have come up with something a little more original.

chinatown · April 23rd, 2007, 01:10 PM

looks like a taller & thinner ver of Burj Dubai

KarachiRocker · April 23rd, 2007, 01:59 PM

This picture is not of Al Rajhi Tower but of The Centaurus which is going to be built in Islamabad,Pakistan.

Yes, you're right! It is indeed Centaurus.

personally, i consider everything from morocco to pakistan the "middle east"

and yes, thats the pakistani centaurus...though i could see why ppl get them mixed up. theyre so similar!

Sentient Seas · April 24th, 2007, 12:24 AM

It's a beast. I like the design alot.

iLiR · April 26th, 2007, 08:10 AM

I agree. I wish something like this can be built in Tirana one day
