This article or section contains information about expected future buildings or structures.
It is likely to contain information of a speculative nature and the content may change as the building approaches completion.

The Russia Tower was originally proposed for plots 2 and 3 of the Moscow International Business Center in 1994 as the world's tallest building; a 648 meter, 125-storey tower. It was designed by Chicago-based architectural firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. It was soon moved to plot 14. In the middle of 2003 an updated, 648 meter, 134-storey, design had been moved to plots 17 and 18. In January 2004, the Moscow Development Company (ST Group) has been appointed as the main investor and developer of $700-million project.

In March 2006, the ST Group unveiled a new design. The new 600 meter 118-storey building is to be designed by Norman Foster and its construction cost is estimated at $1.5 billion.
