Jeddah Economic City, formerly known as Kingdom City, is a 5,202,570 m2 (56,000,000 sq ft) project approved for construction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The project is designed by the Kingdom Holding Company, a firm owned by Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal. Jeddah Economic City will host both commercial and residential development including homes, hotels, and offices.
The centerpiece of the development will be Jeddah Tower, planned to be the tallest skyscraper in the world upon its completion. The entire project is estimated to cost $20 billion (SR75 billion). As of 2022, Jeddah Tower remains incomplete due to the 2017–2019 Saudi Arabian purge.
