I think if you are going to have a cluster of 5 or 7 interestingly shaped towers like this, they should relate to each other in color like the WTC will once completed.

I think it would be quite boring to have nothing but grey blue towers everywhere, especially with moscow's largely grey skies. The Mercury Tower always brightens up the skyline with its reddish colour.
the OKO Towers will have pretty simple designs, though.

This is shaping up to be my favorite tower in the new CBD. It will be an icon just like RBC Plaza in Toronto. The interior design is also pretty damn cool.

RBC is a bit more understated and tasteful.

RBC is an absolute beaut. Although I do like this Mercury City Tower too, and (as I've said earlier in this thread) would love to see it in the Toronto skyline.

This is confusing. You do not put a "but" between complementing ideas, but rather contradictory ideas.

For example. Not the best looking building and it clearly can't complete with the Shard on looks.

Anyway, is there any word on tenants for this building? Or is Russia like China and the middle east who just don't worry about silly things like that?

Mercury Group, I would assume...

That looks veryt great but I think it would fit perfect to downtown manhattan
80southstreet for Example

Ed007Toronto · #**211** Posted **Dec 3, 2012, 1:33 PM**

Manhattan can skip this.

bigreach · #**212** Posted **Dec 14, 2012, 5:29 AM**

That's an awesome tower.

Eurasia.

SSP doesn't have a thread for it but it was pretty much started around the same time as the other towers. It was on hold for a while due to funding.
