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:
“The Church disowned, the tower overthrown, the bells upturned, what have we to do
But stand with empty hands and palms turned upwards
In an age which advances progressively backwards?”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“The majority of the men of the North, and of the South and East and West, are not men of principle. If they vote, they do not send men to Congress on errands of humanity; but while their brothers and sisters are being scourged and hung for loving liberty,... it is the mismanagement of wood and iron and stone and gold which concerns them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
