By any measure—physical, visual, or symbolic—the PIF Tower has redefined the skyline of Riyadh. Photographers are noticing.

 

Architecture does not only belong to building owners or architects. It belongs also to its environment and the people who use it, experience it, and sometimes photograph it. In the case of the PIF Tower (formerly known as the CMA Tower), the visual impact and allure of the tower is evidenced in the countless images and videos recorded by professional and amateur photographers alike.

Omrania had the privilege of designing this new civic icon as part of a joint venture with HOK. Soaring 385 meters high, the PIF Tower anchors the financial plaza of the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD). In homage to the effort put forth by our talented team and all of our collaborators in the Kingdom and beyond, who worked to bring the PIF Tower to fruition, we have selected few inspiring photos and videos to share.
