The Central Iconic Tower in the New Administrative Capital of Egypt is a towering structure that is set to become a landmark in the city. The tower is a part of the larger Central Business District (CBD) project, which is being developed by the Chinese State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC).
The Central Iconic Tower is set to be the tallest building in Africa, with a height of 385 meters. The tower will have 78 floors, with a total floor area of 345,000 square meters. The tower will house offices, hotels, and apartments, as well as retail and entertainment spaces.
The tower's design is inspired by the lotus flower, which is a symbol of rebirth and purity in Egyptian culture. The tower's shape resembles a lotus flower in bloom, with its petals opening up towards the sky. The tower's façade will be made of glass, which will reflect the surrounding landscape and create a stunning visual effect.
The tower's construction began in 2018, and it is expected to be completed by 2022. The tower's construction is being carried out by a team of international experts, including architects, engineers, and construction workers from China, Egypt, and other countries.
