Another skyscraper will be built in St. Petersburg
The high -altitude boom in St. Petersburg continues. Today, Fontanka correspondent was told about their plans to build a 300-meter building on Maurice Torez Avenue in the Elis construction corporation. The multifunctional high -rise building will appear on the site of the house of the plant "Svetlana" unfinished at one time
“This will be the second in height building in St. Petersburg after Okhta Center,” the construction corporation proudly told us. However, if the trends in urban development are preserved, then after five years, when builders plan to finish the high -rise dominant on Maurice Torez Avenue, 118, the skyscraper may not be so high.
An unusual round building with oval windows on Maurice Torez Avenue, 118, began to be built in 1975, continued in 1985, but it remained in the form of ruins.
"The governor of St. Petersburg Valentina Matvienko instructed us to deal with this unfinished one, it was no longer possible to keep him in this condition. The Svetlana plant tried to find investors, but it was not possible, and there was the only solution left to sell the territory. Now the Elis construction corporation draws up this land in its property," said Marina Gorbacheva, head of the construction department of the Vyborg district.
According to Alexander Novikov, a specialist in public relations, Elis Corporation, in August of this year a letter was already received from KGA, in which the construction of a high -altitude facility on Maurice Torez Avenue is generally approved.
Now the company is holding an architectural competition in which four leading architectural studios of St. Petersburg and Moscow participate. After one of the four projects is chosen, there will be an image that will give a name to a new skyscraper.
The building, the height of which is about 300 meters, will be 90 floor. The percentage of residential development to the office and entertainment component (on the lower floors) is approximately 60 to 40 percent. The Alice Corporation expects to receive 2000 apartments, and the total area of the skyscraper will be 300 thousand square meters. In the construction corporations they say that a multifunctional residential building involves the apartments of the "Comfort-Plus" level, while promising the Middle-Russian prices. On the lower floors of the skyscraper - a shopping and entertainment zone, a sports center (fitness, pool), and a kindergarten - as a social facility promised to the city.
Recall that the plans for the construction of skyscrapers sound in St. Petersburg not the first or second time. They were offered to build them on a nyevle in the "sea facade" (several high-altitude towers, the highest up to 300 m), near "Ladoga" (150-meter "pyramids") and on the bypass channel (300 m) ("adamanta projects"), Setl City on Okhta was going to build a 97-meter height together with the Bank "St. Petersburg", the Krylenko TsNII named after Kronstadt proposes to build a 500-meter skyscraper in the form of an armature. A tower 75 meters high on the Avenue of Medikov as part of the business quarter "Electric City" is planning to build a group "LSR". The concept of the project of rotating skyscrapers for construction in Moscow and St. Petersburg from the Italian architect David Fisher was acquired by the Russian company Mirax Group. At 68 meters, at the intersection of Piskarevsky Prospekt and Sverdlovsk Embankment, they speak the Criminal Code of the Criminal Code of the Criminal Code of the Criminal Code, while dreaming of “growing” their project up to 150 meters. The construction of high -altitude complexes "Montblan" and "Aurora" ends.
