Triumph Palace
The Triumphal Palace ( Russian Триумф-Палас Triumf-Palas ) in Moscow is a skyscraper completed in 2005 . When the top was erected in December 2003, the 264.1 m high- rise replaced the Commerzbank Tower in Frankfurt am Main as the tallest high-rise in Europe . In 2007, the Triumphal Palace had to give this title to Moscow's Naberezhnaya Tower , which is four meters higher, but remained the tallest residential building.
The Triumphal Palace is located northwest of the city center not far from Leningradski Prospect, the arterial road towards Sheremetyevo Airport and Saint Petersburg , between the Aeroport and Sokol stations of the “green” line of the Moscow Metro .
The building has 54 floors and consists of nine wings, each with its own entrance area. The wings are only connected to one another on the first five floors. On the section from the tenth to the thirty-seventh floors there are residential floors. The gross floor area of the building is approximately 163,300 m². The top consists of eight sections with 3,000 individual parts, which were assembled within six days with the help of helicopters; it is encased in 700 m² of stainless steel and weighs a total of 52 t. Architecturally, the building is based on the monumental style (also known as the “ confectioner's style ”) of Stalin's Seven Sisters from the 1950s and is therefore unofficially referred to as the “eighth sister”.
