Saudi Arabia has announced its next giga project, The Mukaab, measuring exactly 400-metres in height, length and width—this cube shaped mega-structure will be large enough to house 20 of New York’s famous Empire State Buildings and still have space left.

According to reports, the mammoth project unveiled by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman, will be housed in the downtown Riyadh—the country’s capital city— in the wider New Murabba Development created by the Prince, Prime Minister and Chairman of the New Murabba Development Company (NMDC).

A report by the Futurism said that the Mukaab will be housed at heart of new downtown core of Riyadh city called New Murabba. A promotional video of the project released by the Saudi government is going viral on social media sites.

A report said that a spiral base will run through the Mukaab, comprising “premimum hospitality units”, retail spaces and tourist attractions. The mega cube can hold 20 buildings, each the size of New York’s famed Empire State Buildings, it said.

The Futurism report revealed that the Mukaab will house museum, a technology and design university, a multipurpose theatre and more than 80 entertainment and cultural venues. The report added that the New Murabba will have more than 25 million square kilometres of floor area, 104,000 residential units, 9,000 hotel rooms, 980,000 square metres of retail space, 1.4 million square metres of office space, 620,000 square metres of leisure assets and 1.8 million square metres of community facilities.

The New Murabba project will have its own separate transport system which will be a 20-minute drive from the Riyadh airport, the report said, adding that the project as well as the Mukaab cube is slated to be completed and thrown open by 2030.
