New York based Frank Williams & Associates is behind this tower, Europe’s new tallest! Being constructed as we speak the site is located in the Presnensky area it’s in the right neighbourhood but still quite far away from the rest of the skyscraper construction n the “Moscow-City” area.

Not a very Russian Design.
