History. Origins. Plots 17 and 18 of the MIBC were to be used originally  for the Russia Tower, a supertall skyscraper designed by Norman Foster, but the Great Recession and issues with investors forced development of the project to be cancelled. On 2014, ownership of half of the plot was transferred to Turkish company Rönesans Holding. As general contractor, Rönesans Holding hired ST Towers LLC to develop a new complex, the Renaissance Moscow Towers, later renamed the Neva Towers. The project would also be developed by the SPEECH Architectural Bureau in partnership with American companies HOK and FXCollaborative, with public spaces designed by Hirsch Bedner Associates. The management of the complex claimed to receive  a LEED Gold certificate. Construction. Sales of the apartments in the complex opened in September 2016. Investments for the complex exceeded $1 billion later in November 2016. On 15 October 2018, Tower 2 of the Neva Towers was architecturally topped out when work on the 79th floor was completed. Construction of the first stage of the project is 70% completed. Design. The plots Neva Towers are to be built on have a total area of 2.41 hectares. The total area of the complex will be 349.2 thousand square meters. The complex will be composed of a single four-story  stylobate where the two towers will be built on top. Tower 2 will be a 79-story residential skyscraper with a height of 345 meters. Tower 1 will be a 69-story skyscraper with a height of 302 meters with office space proposed on the 28th floor. In the complex would be a private park with an area of seven thousand square meters. In addition, the complex would have a hotel and a fitness center with a swimming pool located on Tower 2. There is also a parking lot with a planned capacity of 2,040 cars for workers and residents  of the complex. Stone plates of light stone are to be used to decorate the skyscrapers.
