The Neva Towers, formerly the Renaissance Moscow Towers, is a complex of two skyscrapers located on plots 17 and 18 of the Moscow International Business Center (MIBC) in Moscow, Russia.[3] Tower 1, at 302 metres (991 feet) tall with 65 floors, is the ninth-tallest building in Europe. Tower 2, at 345 metres (1,132 feet) tall with 79 floors, is the tallest residential building in Europe and the fourth-tallest building in Europe. The complex was completed in 2020.[4]

History

Origins

Plots 17 and 18 of the MIBC were to be used originally for the Russia Tower, a supertall skyscraper designed by Norman Foster, but the Great Recession and issues with investors forced development of the project to be cancelled.[5] In 2014, ownership of half of the plot was transferred to Turkish company Rönesans Holding.[6]

As general contractor, Rönesans Holding hired ST Towers LLC to develop a new complex, the Renaissance Moscow Towers, later renamed the Neva Towers.[5] The project would also be developed by the SPEECH Architectural Bureau, in partnership with American companies HOK and FXCollaborative, with public spaces designed by Hirsch Bedner Associates.[7] The management of the complex claimed to receive a LEED Gold certificate.[8]

Construction

Sales of the apartments in the complex opened in September 2016.[7] Investments for the complex exceeded $1 billion later in November 2016.[9]

On 15 October 2018, Tower 2 of the Neva Towers was architecturally topped out when work on the 79th floor was completed. Construction of the first stage of the project was 70% completed.

Design

The plots Neva Towers are built on have a total area of 2.41 hectares. The total area of the complex is 349.2 thousand square metres. The complex is composed of a single four-storey stylobate where the two towers are built on top. Tower 2 is a 79-storey residential skyscraper with a height of 345 metres. Tower 1 is a 69-storey skyscraper with a height of 302 metres with office space on the 28th floor. Within the complex is a private park with an area of seven thousand square metres. In addition, the complex has a hotel and fitness centre with a swimming pool located in Tower 2. There is also a parking lot with a capacity of 2,040 cars for workers and residents of the complex. Stone plates of light stone were used to decorate the skyscrapers.[7][8][10][11]
