Saudi Arabia is planning to build a 2km skyscraper in Riyadh that would become the world’s tallest building, according to reports by MEED.

The megatall tower would be part of an 18sq km development north of Riyadh

......

Developers, architects, construction specialists and project managers have been invited to take part in a design competition with a $1m entry fee to design the record breaking tower

......

Building a supertall tower, as Dubai has found with the Burj Khalifa, can be a catalyst for further development and act as a flagpole to attract other investment projects.

Saudi Arabia is undergoing a construction and megaproject boom with multiple projects under development.
