The story behind the place

Kingdom Centre is recognised by the great opening near the summit of its glazed tower. A steel skybridge spans that opening about 300 metres above the ground. The operator describes a 65-metre-long bridge reached by lifts, turning the structure into a place from which to read the city. At street level, the tower belongs to a mixed-use complex. Its silhouette shows how a single structural feature can become a city landmark.
