The scale and ambition of the King Abdullah Financial District in Riyadh has allowed room for not only new and fresh construction designs, but a variety of contractors and suppliers.

With around 50 buildings planned and many seeing swift progress, it seems a necessity for each designer and contractor to be distinctive, from superstructure to façades and interiors.

For novelty and innovation, look no further than the Crystal Tower, also known as Parcel 1.10. One of around 30 large structures to be built by the Saudi Binladin Group, the twin-tower project will serve as a substantial commercial offering to white-collar tenants and retail outlets, as well as constituting a gateway to the heart of KAFD, the six-tower Financial Plaza.
