For centuries, Moscow has been recognized for its towers, domes, and gilded skyline. Yet in the coming years, a new landmark will redefine that silhouette: One Tower. Rising to 379.1 meters, it is set to become Europe’s tallest residential skyscraper—not just a record-breaking structure, but a gateway to the future of urban living.
At the 85th floor, 330 meters above the ground, the Sky Garden will become Europe’s highest park.
This 1,000-square-meter sky garden will offer visitors the rare privilege of strolling among the clouds in the heart of the city. Beyond being a residential tower, it is poised to become one of Moscow’s most compelling attractions—just as the Eiffel Tower is to Paris and The Shard to London, One Tower holds the potential to become that icon for Moscow.
Sky Garden: An Oasis Among the Clouds
Spanning 90 floors, the tower will house 1,147 residences alongside expansive office spaces. Its design is shaped by “emo-tech” and “biophilic” principles, creating a bridge between people and nature. Vertical gardens, daylight-optimized facades, and geometric lighting in the evenings will give the building both aesthetic depth and a distinctive identity.
The concept of a garden in the sky promises to inspire not only city dwellers but also visitors from across the globe.
Such projects often become destinations in their own right for architecture enthusiasts and urban explorers, while features like the Sky Garden—accessible by ticket—generate tourism revenue and keep the city in the global spotlight. The ripple effect extends across the ecosystem, from hotels to restaurants.
Architectural Record and Tourism Potential
The story of One Tower began in 2019. Following a 2023 design revision, its initial sharp-edged 405-meter form was replaced with a more elegant, oval silhouette in harmony with the cityscape. In this refined version, it will surpass Moscow’s Neva Towers (345 m) to claim a new record.
Such record-breaking projects resonate far beyond architectural circles—they become magnets for the international tourism market. They add new stops to city tours, boost visitor numbers for surrounding businesses, and reshape the urban identity. One Tower is set to become Moscow’s new showcase to the world.
A New Symbol Rising in 2030
Construction is set to begin by late 2025 and reach completion in 2030. When finished, it will stand as a brilliant emblem of Moscow’s modern face—a must-see landmark alongside Red Square for every visitor to the city.
