Kanyon Tower is a new landmark in the New Administrative Capital of Egypt. This tower is a unique structure that stands tall at 385 meters and is expected to be one of the tallest buildings in Africa. The tower is located in the heart of the new capital, which is a planned city that is being built to ease the congestion of Cairo.
The Kanyon Tower is a mixed-use development that will have offices, residential units, and retail spaces. The tower will have 78 floors, and the total built-up area will be around 200,000 square meters. The tower is designed by the renowned architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), which has designed some of the world's most iconic buildings, including the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and the One World Trade Center in New York.
The Kanyon Tower is designed to be a sustainable building that will use renewable energy sources. The tower will have a photovoltaic system that will generate electricity from solar energy. The tower will also have a rainwater harvesting system that will collect rainwater and use it for irrigation and other non-potable purposes.
The tower's design is inspired by the Nile River, which is the lifeline of Egypt.
