nice, finally it's really going forward :cheers:

This building is massive! Can't wait to visit Moscow when it's all completed :)

Thats huge! What is its floor area? Must be one of the biggest building in the world, maybe comparable with Abraij Al-Bait!

this is going to be a colorful cluster! eurasia is green, federation tower is blue, mercury city tower is yellow/gold, and this is red... cant wait to see it finished!

Very nice project

Great

This building is tall and has a floor area large enough to make it the largest city hall in the world.

This building is going to be SO f*** HUGE!

The renders of this tower miss the fact it will have this siting in front of it, which might steal the show a bit ;) It's the Wedding Palace by RMJM. Here's the thread SSC (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=476904)

Very, very slow :(

Very, very slow :(

It only appears that way. The below grade work is always the slowest construction.

The contract was only on building underground floors. Going to be on-hold

More like, going to be "approved" again.

This tower shouldn't have been approved in the first place ;)

There are rumors around.
The ground part could be build by N-Trans company.

Posted by bdb2000 in Russian section, made it to street level.

The first stage of the construction is over.
Now we'll have a break for a while :)

Thanks for the update. It'd been quite awhile. Hopefully the "break" won't be for very long.

nice. :)

Yes, thank you very much! Although the progress isn't what I would call fast, I'm glad to see that there is work going on. :)

@monkey: wow, that other tower is a scene-stealer indeed, IMO, they should move it to another district to focus attention on the city hall :lol:

Total planned floor area is 806,433 sq.m.

Floor area of Empire State Building is 257,211 sq.m., floor area of Moscow State University's Main Building is around 250,000 sq.m.

To get funding Moscow's authorities recently proposed decrease of city hall's parliament area from 50 to 30%. The rest is currently planned to be rental space for offices, hotels and apartments.

Nooo, this has to be built! I can only compare this to Abraj Al-Bait in terms of robustness :D

*Cancelled*

MOSCOW | City Hall and City Duma | 308m | 1010ft | 71 fl x 4 |

^^ are u for real?

Is this official? :(

What a pity, I was really looking forward to this building. With Russia Tower cancelled, Federation Tower maybe shortened now this is another setback for Moscow City, it would have been so great if it had been built as it was planned some years ago.
Still some amazing buildings, but some are missing :ohno:

What do they plan with the already built below-ground floors?

Is this official? :(


Yes.

Moscow sucks :ohno:

Current project is cancelled, new project for the plot is being discussed now. We hope new project will also be a skyscraper, but it is not known now.

God dammit! That would've been such a unique skyscraper. So change the thread name to

MOSCOW | City Hall and City Duma | 308m | 1010ft | 71 fl x 4 | Cancelled

Sad day for Moscow indeed

Well lets hope its not a parking ramp like they've proposed for the Russia Tower plot.

Eh... big parking is one of the proposed variants... :shifty:

ahh.. well, i honestly have to admit.. i never liked this building.

imo, its too fat and i find it to be an annoyance that its so unclear wether its 1 or 4 buildings.

i hope that a new and prettier skyscraper is proposed for the area :)

very nice project.

Eh... big parking is one of the proposed variants... :shifty:

Lack of parking is one of the big complaints the new mayor and others have about the IBC. If you need ramps though, build it a block or so away and link it with skybridges.

Is this official? :(
Yep... New Moscow mayor said he doesn't need skyscrapers, but he need more parkings.
