Hyderabad, April 26 -- Saudi Arabia's Jeddah Tower has recently reached its 100th floor, marking a significant step for the skyscraper set to become the world's tallest building once completed.

The tower now stands at around 394 metres, according to Ian Norman Miller, senior executive project director overseeing the development. In a LinkedIn post, Miller said the project has surpassed Riyadh's Public Investment Fund Tower, formerly known as CMA Tower, which rises to 385 metres.

Miller also praised the continuity of engineering and construction teams, saying specialists involved in earlier landmark developments in the kingdom are now contributing to the project.
