You know, I complain about CPT and Tower Fifth, but I’d gladly take modified boxes like those over tacky towers like this that scream “corrupt petrostate”. ---

This looks like a ripped off version of the Chicago Spire, especially the promotional video. If only the Chicago Spire has been built, the world’s best skyscraper! ---

Per Blackhavvk SSC There was a detailed visualization with the location of the skyscraper. During the past few months, changes have been made to the city’s construction plan, necessary for further approval of the construction, in addition, a change in the boundaries of the building site, owned by Gazprom, is under approval. Some preparatory work is already underway to clear the site. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/f/c/fc547d685a717a567ba056ec9e75508c8e64f4f4.jpeg) ---
