The CMA tower is the crown jewel of the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD), Riyadh and the tallest building in the capital.
Rising 385 meters above the surrounding city, the CMA Tower is the centerpiece of the financial plaza of the King Abdullah Financial District - the world’s largest green building development. The iconic 80-story crystalline office tower symbolizes the beginning of a new era of global financial leadership within the Saudi capital. The tenants are central market authorities, stock of exchange, major banks and international rating companies.
The design solution of this intelligent, functional, and sustainable building 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 building is a class-A office skyscraper with anticipated LEED Gold certification. FlowCon is proud to be part of this.
