The annual European Property Awards have granted the ‘Best high rise Architecture in Russia’ prize to the Mercury Tower in Moscow City Central Business District.
Mercury Tower is, since it took over from the London Shard, currently the tallest high rise in Europe. Now in its final stages of construction, Mercury Tower will offer luxury apartments, offices and a range of high-end retail as well as restaurants, clubs, health and fitness facilities. The design is characterized by a futuristic, stepped volumetric design that is remarkably slender. The tower is designed by the late Frank Williams and Mosproekt-2 and completed by Design Erick van Egeraat.
Erick van Egeraat is the creative force behind the partial re-design of the top section of the tower, as well responsible for the tower’s interior design. After the Capital City Towers in Moscow City, the Mercury Tower is the second project in Moscow City by Erick van Egeraat to win an International Real Estate Award.
