Construction of the 64-floor Al Hikma Tower started in 2006, while it was kept on hold in 2009 however the construction resumed in summer 2010.

The suspension lasted approximately 14 months.The tower had already topped out in July 2011 which was about 16 months after the core wall, columns and slabs were first erected at a rate of one level a week. Once completed the tower will be 282 metres (925 ft) tall.
