Almaty Towers by Norman Foster

Almaty, Kazakhstan’s largest city and financial capital seems intent on outdoing the capital city of Astana with these planned twin towers. The towers are 48 floor skyscrapers to be named “Almaty Financial District Fosters Towers”. At 708 feet, they will be the tallest buildings in Kazakhstan when completed.

New towers and smaller buildings around it will house offices, residential apartments as well as retail spaces on the lower floors. The design also incorporates 1,600 space three story underground garage for the occupants.

This is the latest in a long line of projects Sir Norman Foster has designed either in the former Soviet Union or in Asia.
