The use of this building will be mainly for offices. It will be the tallest tower of the 20 skyscrapers that are planned for this new district.
The investment in the project is estimated at about 3,000 million dollars and for the construction it has been assisted by the China State Construction Engineering Corporation, one of the largest contractors in the world and which has employed some 5,000 employees.
The Iconic Tower already covers an area of 65,000 square meters and has already managed to reach the planned 385 meters in height. A height that far exceeds the 234 meters of height of The Leonardo , the skyscraper of Johannesburg that maintains the current record.
To celebrate the completion of the construction of the base structure, the Chinese construction company held an open house on the 52nd floor and a concert attended by Egypt's Minister of Housing, Dr. Asem Al-Jazzar, and other officials.

The first 40 floors will be offices, 10 will be luxury apartments and 30 will be reserved for the five-star hotel. An observation point will be located on the 74th floor , a terrace located about 360 meters high to contemplate the new city.
The building will have 60 elevators and elevators manufactured by KONE and will have a control system that will monitor in real time the location of these elevators to help optimize their performance.
Cairo will continue to be the largest city in Egypt, but the construction of this new capital is a government project to decongest the area and incidentally try to position itself as a new reference center within the African continent.
