Tower East
The higher tower of the complex located in the eastern part of lot number 13 was formerly known as Tower "A". In November 2006, after a competition, it was renamed Tower "Vostok (East)". Tower East is designed to have 94 above-ground and 3 underground floors, and 17 high-speed elevators will be installed there. In early December 2009, the Potok corporation management (ex-Mirax Group) announced that in the case of financial problems it can reduce the number of floors of Tower East from 94 to 64 floors. However, in March 2010, the company's management stated that the tower would be completed according to the basic project design.

Famous quotes containing the words tower and/or east:
“What did it matter where you lay once you were dead? In a dirty sump or in a marble tower on top of a high hill? You were dead, you were sleeping the big sleep, you were not bothered by things like that. Oil and water were the same as wind and air to you.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“Senta: These boats, sir, what are they for?
Hamar: They are solar boats for Pharaoh to use after his death. They’re the means by which Pharaoh will journey across the skies with the sun, with the god Horus. Each day they will sail from east to west, and each night Pharaoh will return to the east by the river which runs underneath the earth.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
