If you’ve heard of The Mukaab, you know it’s part of New Murabba.
New Murabba is a development in the northeast of Saudi Arabia and will be the world’s largest downtown development project.
It is part of the impressive Saudi Vision 2030 and is most notable for being the home of The Mukaab, which is a cuboid skyscraper.
The Mukaab will be 400 meters tall and will be home to one of the world’s great climate-controlled indoor cities. With this stature, it will be the largest building in the world!
Step Inside The Mukaab
If you take a look inside the futuristic cuboid, you’ll find one of the greatest downtowns on the planet. It will be the world’s largest downtown area of over 19 kilometers squared, with space large enough to hold the equivalent of twenty Empire State Buildings.
The outside will feature an intricate design, bound to be a focal point in New Murabba. It will be modeled around the layout of the Murabba Palace, which also has a cuboid form, so it will serve as a homage to the current architectural icons of Saudi Arabia.
The Mukaab and its Human-Centric Design
Within The Mukaab, the design is optimized for its residents. With residences, working environments, amenities, and public spaces thoughtfully arranged, no key service will be more than a 15-minute walk away at any time.
This connectivity, which is integrated into the design, maximizes walkability and quality of life in The Mukaab, ensuring that residents will spend less time commuting and more time on their personal pursuits. The Mukaab will also have 80 state-of-the-art entertainment venues, including theaters, museums, concert venues, and an opera house.
Whether you’re a resident or a visitor, there will be plenty to visit and enjoy within the walls of The Mukaab. There is also a fully immersive retail environment, with integrated technology, to elevate the experience across 300,000 meters squared.
If you’ve been planning a shopping spree, you may want to hold off until you can visit The Mukaab.
Integrated Sustainability
This historic project will be built on core concepts of sustainability.
Despite being a climate-controlled indoor city, The Mukaab will integrate green areas and natural spaces into the construction. These green spaces will promote sustainability and wellness among residents.
Since the building makes use of vertical space, The Mukaab will conserve space in New Murabba as well, leaving more natural spaces in the surrounding area as well. In addition to this, The Mukaab will be powered exclusively by renewable energy sources, so that it has a minimal carbon footprint.
For this reason, The Mukaab will be an ambitious part of Saudi Arabia’s step towards a more sustainable lifestyle.
Reaching New Heights
Promising a ground-breaking integration of sustainability and urban living, The Mukaab will be an exceptional destination. It will also epitomize the development of the Saudi Arabian economy, through diversification and modernization.
As a marvel of modern architecture and functional design, this is a city you’ll want to see for yourself!
