Over the course of a century and a half, the world has become quite elongated. Now the leader, and this is the Burj Khalifa tower, is 20 times larger than its ancestor. And this is not the limit. There are more than 2.5 thousand skyscrapers in the world, 60 of them are super-tall, and 702 are more than 200 meters high. The absolute leader in the number of high-rise buildings is China.

How are things going in Russia?

The first place in terms of height and number of skyscrapers is, of course, occupied by Moscow. It is in it that the most high building in Russia and in Europe.

The tallest building in Russia is the Federation Tower. True, it is still unfinished, but according to the project its height will be 506 meters including the spire. The tower consists of two buildings: the “West” at 242 meters and 62 floors is already showing off, and above the “East” at 360 meters and 93 floors builders are working hard. Together with the spire that should appear, this results in a record height.

According to updated data, the Federation Tower is also the tallest building in Europe. This is where the heart beats. The heart of Moscow's financial life.

Uniqueness of the project

The Federation Tower is a complex of skyscrapers that are being built on the 13th section of the Moscow International Business Center. The high-rise project was developed by Sergei Tchoban together with Peter Schweger.

According to the project, the tallest building in Russia, and indeed in Europe, will have offices and hotel apartments. And in the closed bridges between the West and East skyscrapers there are cafes and restaurants. The Sixty restaurant is already open on the last, 62nd floor of the West.

According to representatives of the developer company, skyscrapers are being built from the strongest concrete grade B90. That is, if a plane hits a high-rise directly, the skyscraper will survive.

The basis for the Federation Tower complex is the foundation, which is based on a massive concrete slab. 14 thousand cubic meters of concrete were spent on pouring it; this achievement was even recorded in the Guinness Book of Records.

Applied latest systems glazing, which was developed specifically for the Federation Tower by German and Chinese specialists. The glass surface reflects solar radiation while maintaining optimal temperature in the building. The density of glass is close to the heat resistance parameters of a brick wall. At the time when this technology began to be used in the Tower, it was not used in any skyscraper in the world.

The Federation Tower complex has 67 elevators.

The Federation Tower building is actively used as an excursion site, becoming the second project on the territory of Moscow City, where a trained guide talks about its history and uniqueness in detail. Also, the “Federation Tower” is famous in the world as a high-rise building for extreme sports (base jumpers, steeplejacks) and as a site for film and video filming (TV shows, advertising, cinema)

Until 2010, the tallest electronic clock in the world was installed on the building - located at an altitude of 229 m on the facade of the West Tower of the Federation Tower complex from the Third Ring Road they were recognized as the highest in the world and entered the Guinness Book of Records.

View from Federation Tower

According to updated data for 2016: Construction of the tallest building in Europe, the Federation Tower, is in its final stage. Currently, builders have begun work on landscaping the surrounding area. All work will be completed by the end of the year.

There are 62 apartments in the West tower, and 129 in the East tower. The area varies from 55 to 2300 sq. m. meters. Ceilings from 3.5 meters. It is possible for the developer to install Smart Home equipment. The cost of apartments on the primary market starts from 33.5 million rubles. average price“square” is 680 thousand rubles.

Description. The Federation Tower mixed-use complex includes the West and East skyscrapers. The project started in 2003. The first high-rise was completed in 2009, and the construction of the second lasted from 2007 to 2017. The foundation of the complex was based on a massive concrete slab. 14 thousand cubic meters were spent on filling it. meters of concrete. The high-rise buildings are united by a six-story stylobate. The space between the towers is covered with a transparent dome. In the atrium area, the total height of the inter-tower space (from the dome to the 4th underground floor) is 54.5 meters. There are four entrance groups - separate for office employees and for apartment owners.

The West Tower is 62-storey and 242 meters high. On the 1st floor there is a lobby, from the 2nd to 46th floors there are offices, from the 49th to 59th floors there are apartments. On the 60th floor there is the Nebo Wellness Club, and above there is the Sixty restaurant managed by the Ginza Project company.

“Vostok” is a 97-story tower at 374 meters. This is the second tallest skyscraper in Europe (the first is the St. Petersburg Lakhta Center). On the 1st floor there is a lobby, from 2 to 68 floors there are offices, from 69 to 86 floors there are apartments. 89th floor – club floor. There is a lobby, the Sakhalin restaurant of the WRF holding, as well as a bar, gym and cardio room. Also on the 89th floor is Observation deck– Panorama 360, equipped with ten interactive zones. On the 90-97th floors there are penthouses.

There is a shopping gallery on four underground levels. On the first underground level there are transitions to other Moscow City towers and the Afimall City shopping center.

Developer and team. The construction of the Federation Tower was started by Sergei Polonsky's Mirax Group. In 2009, the developer found himself in a difficult situation with bank loans and froze construction. In 2013, the assets were acquired by the AEON corporation owned by Roman Trotsenko. The construction of the complex was completed by Federation Tower CJSC, which is part of it.

The architectural solution was developed by Sergei Tchoban and Peter Schweger. The designer of the project was the American company Thornton Tomasetti. Construction technology was controlled by Turner Construction Company. The general contractor is the Turkish company Renaissance Construction. Facade glazing - Chinese concern Yuanda.

Technology and engineering. The facades are implemented using structural glazing technology with double-glazed windows filled with argon. The surface of the glass reflects ultraviolet radiation, maintaining optimal indoor temperature. A hidden façade cleaning system, CoxGomyl, from the Australian company Cox, was installed.

Security is provided by several systems: security, fire, for monitoring the condition of engineering devices, for remote access control and video surveillance. There are firefighting elevators for evacuating people and lifting emergency personnel. The fire escape has emergency lighting and smoke ventilation. There is a heat recovery system, an automated system for pumping excess heat and cold from one part of the towers to another, sensors that respond to changes in temperature, light and the presence of people.

The automated ventilation and air conditioning system is working. There are 67 high-speed elevators from Schindler and the German concern ThyssenKrupp. Among the features are twin elevator systems with two high-speed elevator cabins in one shaft. Both cabins move and have different speeds: upper – 8 m/s and lower – 6 m/s. The stylobate contains inclined elevators (glass cabins) moving at an angle of 10 degrees. Separate groups of elevators serve the apartment and office parts.

Place. The Federation Tower complex is located in the Moscow City International Business Center, 200 meters from the Delovoy Tsentr metro station. To the "International" and "Vystavochnaya" - 400 meters. Close to the embankment and botanical garden First Moscow State Medical University.

- one of the greatest achievements that the notorious businessman Sergei Polonsky is proud of. Marketing slogans provoke arrogance among buyers: “look down on Moscow,” “towers broadcast your status more clearly than regular PR specialists,” “a level above others,” and so on. The positioning of the complex reveals the features of its author. Another Sergei is directly related to the project - not scandalous, but also very famous Sergei Choban.

Both towers - the East Tower and the West Tower - have been commissioned. This long-awaited event took place in 2017. The object was called the highest and most expensive long-term construction in Moscow. Construction took 14 long years (an average of one month per floor). Was it worth it? Perhaps it was worth it - the phrase is inscribed in history. After the Lakhta Center, the facility is the tallest in Europe in height, but surpasses it in the number of floors. Another record was recorded in the Guinness Book of Records: 14 thousand cubic meters were spent on pouring the concrete slab lying at the base of the towers. m of concrete.

There are a lot of technological features. Here are some of the most understandable: the glazing of buildings is close to the heat resistance parameters of a brick wall; a twin elevator system was used, in which there are two cabins in one shaft, which increases the throughput almost 2 times; Almost all energy-efficient technologies used in global construction have been applied.

Should I buy apartments for permanent residence? Yes, you can think about it if you have enough funds and the desire to be above others. This option is for you if you and “Moscow City” are practically synonymous. It is assumed that the residents work here in the City. That is, you need to be completely saturated with the spirit of the metropolis and office and business life. Staying here is associated with power and financial strength, on the one hand, and nervousness and fussiness, on the other.

There are lower skyscrapers in the City (according to marketers, not as prestigious). You can also consider. The price tag exceeds 40 million rubles. offers apartments at a more affordable price - from 18 million rubles.

In general, it’s good to take provincials on excursions here, to Moscow City. It is unlikely that many will ever be able to fly to New York, but here you are welcome - your home-grown skyscrapers. The spectacle, of course, is impressive, although, according to a number of citizens, these high-rise buildings spoiled the panorama of Moscow.

On the other hand, everyone who has been to Multifunctional complex "Federation Tower" They note the beautiful view of the city that opens from the restaurant, which is located on the 62nd floor of the West tower. This complex is also famous for the world's largest thermometer. The length of the thermometer scale is 106.5 m. Well, let’s not forget that the Vostok Tower is the tallest building in Europe.

Living in this premium class house is very prestigious. The apartments here are luxurious, fully meeting the high demands of the luxury segment. As for buyers, it is convenient to have apartments in such a house for business people who work directly in Moscow City. But this mixed-use complex, in our opinion, is not very well suited for family living. And there are a number of reasons for this.

The environmental situation in the area of ​​the skyscraper is not the best. There are no green areas nearby, except for the Krasnaya Presnya Park. The traffic in the microdistrict is very intense; the Third Ring Road interchange is nearby.

There is social infrastructure in the neighboring blocks of the Presnensky district, but it is unevenly developed and there are not enough social facilities within walking distance. There is, of course, the option of using social facilities located on the other side of the Moscow River in the Dorogomilovo area, where you can cross via a pedestrian bridge. Distance from Multifunctional complex "Federation Tower" It's about a kilometer to Kutuzovsky Prospekt. And in that area the social infrastructure is very well developed.

In terms of transport, the walking distance to the metro can be noted as an absolute plus. But as far as motor transport is concerned, there are no escaping problems. Difficulties invariably arise during rush hours on Presnensky Embankment, 1st Krasnogvardeisky Proezd, and on the Third Transport Ring. And the situation is not expected to improve, given that intensive construction in the Big City continues.

Company "Potok8", which built the complex "Federation Tower", is well known in the capital's construction market. A large number of completed objects with fairly decent quality allows us to hope that "Federation Tower" it is built reliably, and this, you will agree, is very important, given the specifics of skyscrapers.

Competitors "Federation Towers" there is enough in Moscow City. Among the currently relevant proposals, we highlight the skyscrapers “Russia”, “IQ - Quarter”, etc.

In the Federation Tower "Vostok" of the Moscow City business complex, it is possible to rent executive class offices and apartments with panoramic views of Moscow. Federation Tower is two skyscrapers in the same architectural style with a total area of ​​450,000 m². The height of the Vostok tower is 94 floors, the area of ​​office space is more than 100,000 m². Offices for rent in the Federation Tower "Vostok" are available on floors 2 - 60. The ceiling height in the rooms is 3.5 m.

The Vostok Tower is a modern triangular-shaped building with a continuous glazed façade and developed infrastructure. The building has high-speed elevators, and the common areas have been renovated using high-quality environmentally friendly materials. The developers of the Vostok Federation tower offer rental of open-plan office space with or without finishing.

Infrastructure

The business center building is equipped with modern engineering systems. Each floor has climate control systems, fire alarms and video surveillance. Three independent power supply sources have been installed. There is a reception service, 24-hour security and an access control system.

The Vostok Tower houses a shopping gallery, ATMs, cafes and restaurants for employees, offices of banks and tour operators. On the upper floors there is a large fitness center with a swimming pool, and conference rooms are available for rent. From the lower tiers of the Federation Tower there is access to the central core of the MIBC Moscow City, the Afimall shopping center and underground parking for 6,000 cars.

Surrounding areas

The business center is located in the Presnensky district in the center of the business district on the embankment of the same name with berths for yachts and helipads. Direct access to the Third Transport Ring is provided from the complex. Lively Kutuzovsky Prospekt and Krasnaya Presnya Street are a 5-minute drive away. Within walking distance are the theater-workshop of Pyotr Fomenko, Krasnaya Presnya Park, numerous cafes, restaurants, and hotels.

There are two metro stations on the territory of MIBC Moscow-City - Vystavochnaya and Mezhdunarodnaya. Public transport stops nearby. The Bagration pedestrian bridge connects the business center with Kutuzovsky Prospekt.
