Many more skyscrapers are being built with concrete than steel. A lot of it is due to safety concerns but the cost of steel is probably helping designers look at concrete as their choice for their structures.

I find it intresting that they continue to work at night on the buildings in Moscow. Is that because of the cold winter, that they need to get as much done as possible when it is warm out?

The construction looks very similar to that of US7 and SWFC.

coth · #**166** Posted **May 6, 2005, 12:29 PM**

Well, I don't know about Tower B, but Tower A will be built by developer of SWFC.

Fabb · #**167** Posted **May 6, 2005, 12:44 PM**

It's a japanese firm, isn't it ?

coth · #**168** Posted **May 7, 2005, 2:14 PM**

Chinese

coth · #**169** Posted **May 7, 2005, 2:16 PM**

China State Construction and Engineering Corporation or something like that. I don't know much abuot that. On emporis it is listed as construction company of SWFC. Not as developer, sorry.

Is Complex B the tallert one or the shorter one? if it's the shorter one, is the complex gonna rise like Nabereznaya Hotel - first ths shorter tower, then the taller one?

coth · #**171** Posted **May 7, 2005, 10:31 PM**

hehe. They called it Naberezhnaya in English because was beware of mixing those words up. There are Riverside Hotel in Red Hills and this Naberezhnaya Tower (Embankment Tower) in IBC. It is not hotel. It is office/residential complex.

The Tower B of Complex Federation is shorter.

I'd get offended or something except that I peronally know that the stereotype is so widespread that those who say it actually believe it. Seriously, the winters are barely colder than in the NYC. Trust me, Toronto winters can kick Moscow's winters' ass by coldness and the amount of snow.

Stephenapolis · #**178** Posted **May 13, 2005, 3:48 PM**

I like how you can make out the shape of the tower already.

Lecom · #**179** Posted **May 14, 2005, 6:34 PM**

Looking good

JACKinBeantown · #**180** Posted **May 14, 2005, 8:59 PM**

This is the exciting part. I've been watching that hole get bigger and bigger. Now it's time for the building to get taller and taller.
