The Al Faisaliah Tower stands in the Al-Olaya district of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Foster + Partners designed it for the client Abdullah Al-Faisal. Construction began in 1997, and the tower opened to the public in May 2000. The article does not name an architectural style.
The tower is 876 feet (267 meters) tall, with 30 office floors and an observation deck at 656 feet (200 meters). The complex covers 240,000 square meters, about 2.6 million square feet.
The complex includes a five-star hotel, a three-story mall and a conference hall. A five-story stained-glass wall by Brian Clarke is among its glass elements, and glass is a notable material in the design.
