Integrate a striking 70-story, mixed-use tower into Moscow's existing infrastructure.
A joint Turkish-Russian development team commissioned SHCA to design a 208,000 sq. m. (2,239,000 sq ft) mixed-use, 70-story tower on a 14,000 sq m (150,700 sq ft) site in central Moscow.

SHCA's design accentuates the purity of the tower volume over the complexity of the program. The sheer glass tower sits atop an expansive multi-level podium. A unitized curving curtain wall allows the transition from the fixed-glass façade of office floors to operable windows on the residential floors. Transparencies, shadow box textures and vertical projections define the scale and dramatize the broad faces of the tower.

Combining 50 floors of Class "A" commercial office space with 20 floors of luxury residential apartments, the project features a landscaped garden and cafeteria for commercial tenants and gymnasium and pool for residents.

The tower sits on a retail and entertainment podium that includes boutiques, restaurants, bars, a service hotel and a 3,000 sq m (32,290 sq ft) casino. An underground link to the city's existing retail concourse and metro system weaves the project into Moscow's urban fabric.
