Dr. Asim Al-Jazzar, Minister of Housing, Utilities and Urban Communities said that the sixth floor is being completed with several towers in the central business district in the New Administrative Capital (NAC).
He stressed that the site is being worked on 24 hours a day in order to accomplish this unique national project in Egypt. It will be a center for entrepreneurship.
“The Chinese company CSCEC is building 20 towers of multiple activities and uses at the Central Business District in NAC," Al-Jazzar added. "The iconic tower will be established in the center of the 20 towers."
"The iconic tower will be the highest tower in Africa, a height of 385 meters, consisting of 80 floors over an area of about 240 thousand square meters," The minister went on saying.
