Alwaleed’s Kingdom Holding Co. will soon invite bids by contractors to build a mile-tall mega-skyscraper in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, taller than four Empire State Buildings stacked upon each other.

Kingdom Holding is budgeting $10 billion for the tower. It will be part of a larger development to provide schools, housing, hotels, and retail and office space to the area. Kingdom hasn’t announced a timetable for the project, but construction would take years.
