# Standing at 450m (1,500ft) tall, the $4bn (£2bn) Crystal Tower, or 'Christmas tree', of Moscow will be one of the tallest buildings in the world. The structure will be located on the Nagatinskaya alluvial plain which sticks out into the south region of the Moscow river, near to Andropov Avenue, about 7.5km away from the Kremlin.
# Crystal Tower received planning permission from Moscow's public and architectural council in December 2007 and will be completed by 2012. It is London-based Foster + Partners' first large-scale project in Moscow and also Foster's third design in a tent, or tepee, shape, including a giant transparent tent in the Kazakhstan capital, Astana.
