Four World Trade Center vs Jeddah Tower

Informations

4 World Trade Center (also known by its street address, 150 Greenwich Street) is a skyscraper that's part of the World Trade Center complex in New York City. It is situated on the southeast corner of this 16-acre (6.5 ha) World Trade Center site, where the original nine-story 4 World Trade Center stood. Pritzker Prize-winning architect Fumihiko Maki was awarded the contract to design the 978-foot-tall (298 m) building. It houses the headquarters of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ).

The building's groundbreaking took place in January 2008, and it opened to tenants and the general public on November 13, 2013. As of 2016, it's the third tallest skyscraper in the rebuilt World Trade Center, supporting One and 3 World Trade Center. However, 2 World Trade Center is expected to surpass the height of both 4 and 3 WTC upon completion. The whole floor space of the building comprises 1.8 million square feet (167,000 square meters) of office and retail space.

Jeddah Tower (Arabic: ??? ????), previously called Kingdom Tower (??? ???????), is a stalled construction project of a skyscraper on the north of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It is supposed to be the world's first 1 km (3,281 feet ) high building, and the centrepiece and first phase of a development and tourist attraction called Jeddah Economic City.There was steady progress but in January 2018 building owner JEC halted structural concrete work together with the tower about one-third completed because of labour issues with a builder after the 2017--19 Saudi Arabian purge. JEC has said they plan to restart construction in 2020. The design, created by American architect Adrian Smith, who also designed the Burj Khalifa, incorporates many unique structural and aesthetic features. The founder and leader of the project is Saudi Arabian prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, a grandson of Ibn Saud, and nephew of the Kings of Saudi Arabia before him. Al-Waleed is the chairman of Kingdom Holding Company (KHC), which is a partner in the Jeddah Economic Company (JEC), which was formed in 2009 for the development of Jeddah Tower and City.
