Akhmat Tower (Russian: Ахмáт Тáуэр) is a supertall skyscraper undergoing ground preparations in Grozny, Chechen Republic of Russia. Construction started on 2 January 2016, and as of September 2016, the piling work was completed. It was scheduled for completion in 2020,[1] but as of November 2024, the tower still stands incomplete.[2]

Akhmat Tower is named after former first President of the Chechen Republic, Akhmad Kadyrov.[3]

The building is planned to be 435 m (1,427 ft) tall, with 100 floors. The design of the building is heavily influenced by Vainakh tower architecture, modeled after the military towers. The building will incorporate offices, apartments, a 5-star hotel, parking, a museum, and public spaces.

Architecture

[edit]

The building has elements of traditional Chechen Nakh Architecture from its skyline and proportions, such as the architectural aspect of Chechen ethnic towers from the 12th century onwards. [4]
