Iconic Tower will sit at the heart of the Capital Business District (CBD), being built in Cairo’s New Administrative Capital.
Iconic Tower will stand at 385 metres high.
The concrete structure of the 385-metre Iconic Tower was completed in June and the steel structure is expected to be finished in August. The completed building is scheduled to be ready in the first quarter of 2022.
Iconic Tower will be one of 20 skyscrapers in the district.
Work on the Iconic Tower began in May 2018 and construction started in 2019.
The project is being jointly implemented by the Egyptian Ministry of Housing and CSCEC, one of the world’s largest contracting companies.
Built on an area of 65,000 square metres, the Iconic Tower – about half the height of the Burj Khalifa – will have 78 floors and two basement levels.
The first 40 floors will be offices, 10 will be branded apartments and 30 will be a five-star hotel.
There will be an observation deck on the 74th floor, where visitors can see the new capital at least 360 metres from the ground.
