It's being built by a Russian company, hence Russian flag near Ukrainian one.

Merry Christmas everyone :cheers:

i like it very much!
Marry Christmas for all :banana:

Beautiful project!

Beautiful looking project! Should be fantastic for Ukraine, one of my favourite countries in Europe!

:eek2::eek2: MIRAX the same company that is building the Federation Tower in Moscow, is building this great building in Kyev, Ukraine. It seems like the company has many investments in other countries, not only in Russia, that's wonderful.

really good one for ukraine

beautiful tower :)

Beautiful looking project! Should be fantastic for Ukraine, one of my favourite countries in Europe! Though I wish the Russians weren't involved.

so, you are a russophobe, or how else should one interpret this?

Why would you wish that? If not for the Russians, you'd be rotting in a death camp...

I'm not a Russophobe, I personally have issue just in seeing Russian companies/business involved in other places (due to stuff happening in the news)
Please don't take my comment to heart, and I apologise if I offended anyone. I have no issue with the Russian people.

On to this beautiful tower, will this be the tallest in Kyiv when complete? Or will that recently completed skyscraper remain the tallest?

You do not have any issue with Russian people, you are just againist Russian companies/businesses doing business outside Russia... Hmm... Try to be consistent and honest to yourself at least... And note, if one substituted Jews/Jewish or Black, etc. instead of Russian here, it would be called pure unadultered racism... you would be smothered and ostrcized for this attitude by many.

I am myself againist many deplorable things that Russian government has been involved year after year. But this is a long and different story. What does it have to do with Russian companies/businesses as a whole operating outside Russia? And with Mirax in particular, if you do not mind explaining?

Hey, Scotland is also one of my favorite places in Europe.

Anyway, it will be taller than the previously completed skyscraper and will be the tallest for a short time. Next year a construction of a supertall (400m+) should be started in summer.

:lol: you're also in eastern Europe. You should hide your complexes of being inferior to your western neighbors in less obvious ways ;)

^^Ignore him. He's new to the forum and in 3 of his total 4 posts he bashed Ukraine/Romania or other EE countries. If he continue to make posts like this, he'll probably get a quick ban, hopefully.

The current project of Mirax Plaza looks OK to me. Can anybody show me on the map in which area of the city it's gonna be constructed?

i keep my fingers crossed for this project. it looks good. Luckily it replaced the previous ones.

Ignore the wilk guy, Homni et homni lupus est ;)

Serously, its good that the second project is going to be constructed. The old one was such an eyesore, i mean, really! I was wondering, is there a cluster being formed in Kyiv?

Old version was terrible, but the new one is really hot! I like it.

great design

cool

Looks quite nice, not an original design, but it is elegant and well proportioned.

It might eventually be 192 meters each (two towers). We're not sure at the moment. That would make them for some time (hopefully not too long) the tallest skyscrapers in the country.

Right now it's at 12-13 floors. Various sources say that the project may be postponed, by one year or so, due to the international financial crisis, other sources state that the construction will simply go on slower.

Construction resumed:
