Men building towers to Heaven (again) ~
« on: August 09, 2011, 05:04:53 PM »
They don't remember what happened the first time...




The investment company headed by Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal says it plans to complete the world's tallest tower in just over five years time.

The Kingdom Holding Co did not say Sunday when work would begin on the Kingdom Tower.

The $1.2 billion tower will be roughly two-thirds of a mile (1 kilometer) high. It is part of a $20 billion mega project on the outskirts of the Red Sea city of Jiddah.

The tower will be built by the Saudi Binladen Group construction conglomerate. It will cost $400 million and feature a Four Seasons hotel, luxury condominiums and offices that encompass around 5.4 million square feet.

No need...when the developers realize they built a white elephant that can never make back their money,...they'll be jumping off it.

First thing that popped into my head when I read Binladen, maybe it's not such a good idea to use them for the construction :-\
