Is this even needed? The surrounding area of this city isn't even built up yet.

i guess also jeddah's mile high tower won't get build, they just don't need it!

Skyman · September 22nd, 2007, 10:28 AM

The height is really cool but I don't like the design

Amrafel · September 22nd, 2007, 10:40 AM

yeah, It reminds me Imperial city in Oblivion

but I think its impossible to build buildings like this

Twipsy · September 22nd, 2007, 11:10 AM

I just measured in Google Earth how much 1600 metres really is.

In New York it´s from Columbus Circle to Bryant Parlk:

In Chicago it´s from River East Center to 333 West Wacker:

In Hong Kong it´s from 2IFC to Central Plaza:

Jibran · September 22nd, 2007, 01:20 PM

Id like an answer to this if anyone knows. Anyone know the actual height of towers in the new star wars movies? Some of those looked really really tall.

as far as i know in star wars they reach far over 2000m

Wow! looks cool.

Lets wait and see if that happens... but Jeddah seems an unlikely place for a building that tall, no? I mean there must be an accomodation crisis there but one would expect loads of flats, hostels etc rather than a mile-high building for luxurious living as these won't come cheap.

Jeddah is also improving its skyline as it is the commercial capital of saudi arabia like dubai of UAE

In fact, the Jeddah municipality now plans in five regions to make them base for skyline.

The best part was in episode 2 attack of the clones, there was this part they were talking in a lift or something, despite the speed of the super evelator, it was long enough for them to finish the conversation just by travelling down.

I like the way this looks really 'Coruscant'. I wish there could be a city where there were hundreds of towers this tall are as dense as a city like HK or NY, but I can't see that happening for a few hundred years yet

This looks like a very strong design, I really like it.

the sock · September 24th, 2007, 10:48 PM

how wide would the tower be?

ZZ-II · September 24th, 2007, 11:06 PM

i guess 100m or more

***Saudi guy*** · September 24th, 2007, 11:25 PM

don't forget it's three towers connected in that case it's included in width.

ZZ-II · September 24th, 2007, 11:50 PM

ok that makes probably 500m or so
