Neva Tower 2 - Russia
Neva Tower 2 is one of the structures of Moscow, Russia's Neva Towers complex. The Neva Towers, previously the Renaissance Moscow Towers, are a pair of towers on the Moscow International Business Center's plots 17 and 18. (MIBC). Tower 2 is Europe's tallest residential structure and fourth-tallest skyscraper, at 345 meters (1,132 ft) tall with 79 storeys.
Plots 17 and 18 of the MIBC were intended to be utilized for the Russia Tower, a supertall skyscraper designed by Norman Foster, however the project was shelved due to the Great Recession and financial concerns. The ownership of half of the site was transferred to the Turkish business Rönesans Holding in 2014.
Rönesans Holding contracted ST Towers LLC as a general contractor to build the Renaissance Moscow Towers, which was eventually renamed the Neva Towers. The project would also be developed by the SPEECH Architectural Bureau in collaboration with the American firms HOK and FXCollaborative, with Hirsch Bedner Associates designing the public areas. The complex's managers claimed to have received a LEED Gold certification.
The complex's apartments went on sale in September 2016. Later in November 2016, the complex's investments surpassed $1 billion.
When work on the 79th story of Tower 2 of the Neva Towers was completed on October 15, 2018, it was architecturally topped off. The first stage of the project's construction is 70% complete.
