In August 2023, almost six months after the announcement of New Murabba project, the designs of Rise Tower were unveiled by Mohammed al-Qahtani, the CEO of Saudi Arabia Holding Company.[7][8] The skyscraper is set to be built on the site of 306 square kilometres North Pole project,[9] a planned mixed-use real estate development dubbed as 'city of the future'.[10][11][12]
