Don't know if its been mentioned but the architectual plans from october show a glass crown hiding the mechanical box. Doesn't grantee anything but gives me some hope

If this is correct, then it looks like the glass goes even higher than the top of the TMD roof which would increase the overall height!

Maybe pushing the height to 354 m total? Can't blame a guy for hoping!

So this might seem Hot topic but hear me out watching a thing on Jeddah Tower with the current iteration of the building the spire will be the height of this building

Thats just garbage "vanity height" as it's called. Basically they're slapping a tower on top of a building and still calling the whole thing a building. They did it with the burj and it's no surprise the sheikhs are doing it again with the kingdom tower - because rather than building something useful they care more about image and clout down there

Agreed. A 'tower' is not considered a building, yet if it's on top of a building, it suddenly becomes part of the building's height. Logical, isn't it?

Does anyone know why the 95th and 96th floors in that diagram (the 7th and 8th floors above the last balcony) have a higher ceiling than the other floors? In reality that was not built and it is not in the other diagram that shows the mechanical penthouse exposed.

If you look at the pictures above you will notice that the next floor that is due for cladding which would be the sixth floor above is shorter than the floor above all the units from that point on I believe have a higher ceiling height
