The Rise Tower: A New Era for Riyadh’s Skyline ??
Introducing the ‘Rise Tower’—a revolutionary engineering marvel set to redefine not just the skyline of Riyadh but the entire world. Standing at a staggering 2 km, this remarkable structure will be twice the height of the Burj Khalifa, pushing the boundaries of what we thought possible in the built environment.
Designed by the renowned Foster + Partners and backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) , the Rise Tower is more than just the world's tallest building; it's a symbol of human ambition and technological prowess. It represents a bold vision where cutting-edge design meets innovation to create a groundbreaking reality.
We know that imagining a 2 km tall skyscraper can be challenging, so we’ve created a video in VU.CITY to give you a real sense of the sheer scale of this proposed development. The future of skyscrapers starts here—watch as this bold vision transforms into an extraordinary feat of modern engineering.
