"The Height of Achievement"

The Federation Business Complex: A new star rising in the Moscow skyline, Mirax Construction is erecting the tallest building in Europe: 1470 feet of striking architecture that is not just high art, but all business. Located on Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment, the Federation Business Complex is destined to become the centerpiece of the capital’s Moscow City international business hub.

An international project launched in early 2008, the Federation Complex involves contributions from such high-rise construction frontrunners as Turner, Thornton Tomasetti, the National Engineering and Construction Corporation of China, and Ant Yapi. Vneshtorgbank, Russia’s premier credit institution, is a partner in the project, and will be the completed property’s largest tenant.

The design was chosen from 40 bids submitted by top architectural studios all over the world. The structure will consist of a multilevel podium with two towers 93 and 62 stories tall, sharing a stylobate.

Of the building’s total floor space of more than 4.5 million sq ft., 2 million will be available for Class ‘A’ offices, 830,000 sq. ft. will be allotted to elite apartments, and another 430,000 sq. ft. will house the new Grand Hyatt Moscow. The business part of the building will also house bank offices, airline offices, fitness centers, cafés, restaurants, shops and convention centers.

Already a world-record holder, the Federation Complex has made it into the Guinness Book of Records. Tower A’s 14,000 cubic-meter base, completed in February 2006, is the world’s largest cast-in-place concrete foundation.
