Kuwait is set to make history with the construction of the world’s tallest tower – the Burj Mubarak. The one-kilometer tall skyscraper will be the main attraction of Kuwait’s Madinat Al Hareer, also known as Silk City, and will be located at the heart of the city. Madinat Al Hareer is expected to be completed by 2023, and the Burj Mubarak, estimated to take about 25 years to complete, will be a towering feat of engineering and architecture.
The Burj Mubarak will be made up of three interlocking, twisting structures designed to withstand winds of up to 150 mph and the resulting vibrations, according to reports by Business Insider. This unique design is aimed at ensuring the stability and safety of the building in Kuwait’s challenging weather conditions. The height of the skyscraper is also said to be an intentional tribute to the famous collection of folk tales, 1001 Arabian Nights.
With 234 floors, the Burj Mubarak will have a capacity to accommodate a staggering 7,000 people. It is expected to surpass the height of the current tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, which stands at 828 meters. However, it should be noted that there are other under-construction buildings in the world that may eventually surpass the height of the Burj Mubarak.
The Burj Mubarak is not just a tall building, but a city within a city. It will feature seven vertical villages, including hotels, residences, offices, and entertainment amenities. These vertical villages are designed to provide a holistic living and working experience for the residents and visitors of the Burj Mubarak.
The construction of the Burj Mubarak will commence once the Jaber Causeway, a major infrastructure project connecting Kuwait City to Silk City, is completed. This strategic partnership between public and private sectors is expected to have a positive impact on Kuwait’s national economy by diversifying income streams and creating job opportunities. The estimated investment in the city is KD 25 billion, and it is expected to create 430,000 jobs for the locals, as well as provide investment opportunities for both local and foreign investors.
Madinat Al Hareer, where the Burj Mubarak will be located, is envisioned as a city of the future. It is designed to accommodate over 700,000 people and will be divided into four distinct quarters – Finance City, Leisure City, Ecological City, and Residential City – each with its own city center. These quarters are designed to meet the highest global standards of living, working, and leisure, and are expected to transform Kuwait’s urban landscape.
