By 2009, nine skyscrapers will be built in Moscow

In January 2008, Moscow will finish the construction of the highest building in Europe-the 89-storey 354-meter tower "A" of the Federation Commercial and Elite Complex, and by 2009 the construction of nine high-rise buildings should be completed. The competition for the best name of both towers of the complex has recently ended. The option "Fedya" and "walkie -talkie" did not resist the more serious "East" and "West". The primary discussion in the Moskomarchitecture has already passed 140 new skyscrapers of the capital, KP reports.

“Behind the skyscrapers there is a great future,” said the chief architect of Moscow Alexander Kuzmin more than once. “In them, both investors and buyers - tenants and tenants are willing to invest in them. The chief builder of Moscow Vladimir Resin spoke even more clearly:“ Talk that you cannot build skyscrapers in Moscow, have no reason. Scientists confirm that in the capital you can and safely build houses of any altitude. 60 places where 200 such buildings will be erected. Otherwise, how to grow Moscow? There is nowhere to go through. "

Along Kutuzovsky Prospekt and the Mozhaisk highway, from the Moscow Ring Road to the third ring, twenty skyscrapers will be built - from 35 to 55 floors each. However, this project raised doubts among independent experts, they say, in the area of ​​Kutuzovsky Prospekt, unstable soil, and high -rise buildings may simply collapse. But the city hall has its own reasons in favor of skyscrapers. Yuri Luzhkov said that the capital is needed for prestige. “Architects were not asked whether skyscrapers are needed or not,” says Evgeny Rusakov, the author of the winning project. “They were listed in the starting conditions of the competition, and the participants are required to fulfill them. According to the general plan, skyscrapers should stand on almost all“ flights ”(coming from the center of Moscow to the Moscow Ring Road). From MKAD to the Kutuzovsky - 10 km. In addition, the government route is 5-6-storytakes and typical panel houses of the middle and the end of the last century.

The avenue, according to Rusakov, "will look in a single style, on the entire path of a person from the Moscow Ring Road to the center and vice versa." There were geological surveys, skyscrapers are allowed ... Now you can even build in a swamp. These are new technologies, ”he said.

Now in Moscow 289 buildings from 50 meters high. Each of them according to the world classification is considered a skyscraper.
