Russia Tower, next in line as Europe’s tallest building, has fallen into the credit crunch. Work on the 600-meter-tall Moscow building has been shelved, according to local reports, although the design team has yet to be told. The project has been “delayed,” says David Klondar, general director at the Moscow office of Waterman International, the project’s lead structural firm. The basement excavation had started and permitting was well in hand, Klondar says. Project architect is London-based Foster and Partners. The building's engineering team includes Chicago-based high-rise expert Halvorson and Partners.
