Construction on Jeddah Tower is set to resume, with Saudi Binladin Group aiming to finish the 1,000-metre skyscraper, which will be the tallest building in the world.

Kingdom Holding Company announced that Jeddah Economic Company has signed an agreement with Saudi Binladin Group to restart the project, valued at $1.918 billion.

Of this amount, $293 million has already been paid for work completed on the tower so far.
