As such, 11 floors have been built since October 2020 raising the number from 49 to 60. The height of the tower is planned to be 400 meters consisting of 79 floors. That means 19 floors are remaining to accomplish the tallest tower in Africa.

 

The tower is one of 20 prospective towers in the area, and those are being accomplished at a cost of $3 billion. The construction of eight of those – excluding the Iconic Tower - has been completed.

 

The project is joint venture between the New Urban Communities Authority and China's CSCEC.
