A design competition with a participation fee of $1m is underway for the record-breaking tower & roughly eight companies have been asked to compete. Some of the top architectural companies in the world are collaborating, and they were chosen for the project based on their previous work on iconic structures and megatall towers around the globe. US-based companies Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), Adrian Smith & Gordon Gill Architecture, Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF), and Gensler are among the probable participants. France's Egis and Dubai-based Killa Design are also competing for the bid.
UK-based Foster & Partners is working as the architect on the proposed tower. The firm has been selected as the winner of a design competition that was launched in late 2022. Other firms that took part in the design competition included US-based firms Skidmore, Owings & Merrill; Adrian Smith & Gordon Gill Architecture; Kohn Pedersen Fox; and Gensler. Also taking part were 10Design, which is part of France’s Egis, and Dubai-based Killa Design. Contractors that have priced megatall towers in the region say that depending on the final design, a 2km-tall structure could cost about $5bn to construct.
