Panel Discussion Tall Buildings as Heritage Middle East Perspective Talal Al Maiman, CEO and Managing Director, Kingdom Real Estate Development Company
Be Tall and Proud The first thing which come to mind when I hear Height and Heritage is: The historical mosques The historical monuments
The Historical Mosques
The historical monuments
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
The Heritage Historically, the Middle Eastern Heritage has revolved around : Honor Rightness Generosity Fidelity Respect Pride
The PRIDE The LEADERS of these projects must have the following as a part of their DNA: Persistence Resolve Insistence Determination Endurance
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
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
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
