PIF Tower Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Soaring 385 m2 above the city, the 80-story PIF Tower (formerly known as CMA Tower) is the tallest tower in Riyadh. A high-performance solar control system moderates the intense Saudi light and heat. HOK designed the tower, which is expected to achieve LEED Gold certification, in collaboration with Omrania & Associates. The design solution is a subtle blend of conventional and well understood techniques combined with international best practice and cutting-edge technologies, merged with local expertise of construction techniques and methods for dealing with the harsh natural environment. The project provides approximately 185,000 m2 of gross floor area above ground level, comprising corporate and commercial office space, a state-of-the art 450 seat auditorium, dining areas, and a fitness center and pool. This project achieves International Property Awards – Best Commercial High-Rise. This project started in 2010 and it is expected to complete in 2021.
