Russia Tower
RussianLand’s portfolio contains some of the most ambitious projects in Moscow, such as The Russia Tower, which is one of the first properties designed by Lord Norman Foster in Russia.
This over 600 meter tall tower is expected to be the tallest building in Europe and the second tallest building in the world and will be located within the "Moscow City" business district.
"Moscow City" is planned to be the equivalent of world-famous business districts like the Canary Wharf in London and La Defense in Paris. Currently there is no other district in Moscow comparable to it in terms of central location, opportunities for large development and central planning of the territory.
The history of The Russia Tower project began in 1993 when its first design was proposed by the American architectural company Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP. The original design provided for a single tower 115-stories high, with gross area of approximately 330,000 square meters.
Soon after RussianLand accepted the project in 2004, it invited the world-famous architect Lord Norman Foster and his company, Foster & Partners, to create a new design of the Tower.
The new concept is for "Three Towers in One" with a central atrium forming the heart to the building. The project is expected to have several functions: office center, a 5-star hotel, residential apartments, a luxury spa, observation platform, restaurants and dining, retail areas and parking facilities.
The concept is well adapted to the local environment. The space orientation of the Tower will be optimized to give the building maximum natural lighting. The large floor plates have been planned as column free to ensure flexibility and comfort: the internal layout will be easily adjusted according to the clients’ demands. At the same time the building plan makes it possible to create a “community” workplace, which is valued by potential large corporate tenants.
