The **Iset Tower** ([Russian](/source/Russian_language): Башня Исеть) is a 52-story [skyscraper](/source/Skyscraper) in the [Yekaterinburg-City](/source/Yekaterinburg-City) business district of [Yekaterinburg](/source/Yekaterinburg), [Sverdlovsk Oblast](/source/Sverdlovsk_Oblast). It is the tallest building in Yekaterinburg and the [16th tallest building](/source/List_of_tallest_buildings_in_Russia) in [Russia](/source/Russia), with a record height of 212.8 metres (698 ft). It was also the tallest building outside [Moscow](/source/Moscow) until it was surpassed by the [Lakhta Center](/source/Lakhta_Center) of [Saint Petersburg](/source/Saint_Petersburg). It became the tallest structure of Yekaterinburg on 24 March 2018 when the unfinished [TV Tower](/source/Yekaterinburg_TV_Tower) nearby was demolished as part of the city’s beautification program in preparation for the [2018 FIFA World Cup](/source/2018_FIFA_World_Cup).[3][4][5]

Iset Tower is the second building of the [commercial district](/source/Commercial_district) [Yekaterinburg-City](/source/Yekaterinburg-City) and will settle down[*[unbalanced opinion?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BALANCE)*][*[clarification needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify)*] in the prestigious neighborhood with the house of the government of [Sverdlovsk Oblast](/source/Sverdlovsk_Oblast), the Regional Duma, drama theater and 5-star [Hyatt Regency](/source/Hyatt) Yekaterinburg hotel across of B. Yeltsin St. and Boevih Druzhin.

The Iset Tower is named after the [Iset River](/source/Iset_River), which goes through central [Yekaterinburg](/source/Yekaterinburg).

## History

The Iset Tower's design was competed by two European architecture companies, [German](/source/Germany) engineer and architect [Werner Sobek](/source/Werner_Sobek) and the [French](/source/France) architecture company [Valode & Pistre Architectes](/source/Valode_%26_Pistre). Eventually, Werner Sobek won the competition and their design was chosen.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] ₽12.8 billion [rubles](/source/Russian_ruble) ($230 million [US dollars](/source/United_States_dollar)) were invested in the construction of the skyscraper. [UGMK Holdings](/source/Ural_Mining_and_Metallurgical_Company) developed the skyscraper later on.

Planning began in 2010 and ended in 2012. Construction began in 2010 and completed in 2015.

## Architecture

The Iset Tower has a total area of 80,983 sq ft (7,524 m2), 52 stories above ground, 4 stories below ground, an architectural height of 209 m (685.70 ft) and a roof height of 197 m (646.33 ft). The Iset Tower is fitted with 225 premium class serviced apartments, as well as including a [casino](/source/Casino), club house, and [parking](/source/Parking_lot).[6][7] According to Werner Sobek, The Iset Tower offers modern-day amenities such as a spa and wellness area, a swimming pool and its own cinema. A large restaurant as well as a lounge and a variety of shops in the lower storeys will be open to all residents in the district. A parkland area that is also open to the general public is being created on top of a generously dimensioned roof that covers the driveway and the parking facilities of the tower.[8]

Iset Tower's structural material is [concrete](/source/Concrete) with a facade material of [glass](/source/Glass) and a [curtain wall](/source/Curtain_wall_(architecture)) facade system.[6][7]

The complex is vertically divided into three parts which visually distinguish three different types of the facade. The building was designed for the extremely cold weather; the designed external temperature is -35 °C. The façade is mainly unitized with the triple-glazed IGU on [aluminum](/source/Aluminum) substructure.
