In November 2015, Kingdom Holding said Jeddah Economic Company had reached a financing deal with Saudi Arabia's Alinma Investment to finish the Jeddah Tower, which then had 26 floors. The building, which will remain a concrete and steel skeleton until its windows are added later into the build process, has climbed to 266 metres of the tower's eventual 1,006 metre height. Jeddah Tower's construction fits into Saudi Arabia 2030, a government plan that aims to diversify the economy in the kingdom and reduce its dependence on oil.
