Authorities in the Russian capital announced the 'complex and ambitious project' today, promising it would be built 'with high quality and on time'.

Above the high-rise apartments there will also be an observation deck on the 100th floor. No estimate was given for how much the tower will cost or how long it will take to complete. Some 2,000 people will be employed to build the tower, a statement said, adding that it would include a children's leisure area and a business centre.
