Al Rajhi Bank Tower is a 205-meter (673 ft) tall commercial skyscraper located in the al-Muruj neighborhood of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The project was launched in 2006 and was completed in 2017.[1] The sail-shaped design was created by architects from Atkins, and the tower serves commercial purposes on behalf of the Al Rajhi family, recognized as one of the wealthiest non-royal families in Saudi Arabia and prominent philanthropists.
Additionally, plans have been approved for the construction of a new tower that will serve as the headquarters for Al Rajhi Bank in Riyadh, designed by the renowned architectural firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, known for their work on the Burj Khalifa.[2] The tallest building in Saudi Arabia remains the 601-meter Abraj Al Bait Tower in Makkah. The design of the Al Rajhi Bank Tower features a top resembling that of the Burj Al Arab in Dubai, complete with a helipad and observation area.
