9 Panel Discussion Tall Buildings as Heritage Middle East Perspective Talal Al Maiman, CEO and Managing Director, Kingdom Real Estate Development Company

10 Be Tall and Proud The first thing which come to mind when I hear Height and Heritage is: The historical mosques The historical monuments

11 The Historical Mosques

12 The historical monuments

13 The challenge The most challenging issue to deal with when constructing TALL buildings is the approval of the regulators through: Establishing common interest Sharing a common goal that makes them a stakeholders

14 The Heritage Historically, the Middle Eastern Heritage has revolved around : Honor Rightness Generosity Fidelity Respect Pride

15 The PRIDE The LEADERS of these projects must have the following as a part of their DNA: Persistence Resolve Insistence Determination Endurance

16 Once established as a common objective the technical journey of building the 1000 meter + starts Once Pride was established as a common objective, the technical journey of building ONE kilometer + started

17 The Height Kingdom Tower will be the: Highest building in the world Highest free-standing structure in the world Highest number of floors Highest occupied floor Highest observation deck Highest reaching elevator in the world Highest reached in concrete pumping Highest cranes ever installed

18 Tall is remembered Being TALL is an advantage, especially in business. People will always remember you. And if you re in a crowd, you ll always have some clean air to breathe. Julia Child
