No, that's the Kingdom Tower, but I think our Castle is better for our Kingdom. 

I believe it's now called the Jeddah Tower, in Saudi Arabia, soon to be the world's tallest:

(until Dubai follows up with their next one)

I saw that picture above this weekend and it reminded me of the Grand Castle. :)

Jeddah Tower will actually be taller by about 200 feet.

There's some lower level wall portions up with window cut-outs. The windows look small for the size of the apartments. Going to be a dark place to live, maybe each unit with come with candle reflectors and wrought iron chandeliers. 

I hear all the interior stairwells will run counterclockwise to mess with marauding armies.

I would have a blast with decor like that.

I still get all misty-eyed when I think about the building skin going on.  Oh sweet, beautiful castle with towers, turrets, dormers, and battlements.    Please come downtown and shower us with your many blessings.  We can only survive so many 20 Fultons before our heads implode.
