Moscow' Rotating Skyscraper will have 70 stories, and will be 400mt high (1312 ft).
It's developer is Moscow based, MIRAX Group headed by Sergei Polonsky.
The volume of investments into the tower construction is going to exceed $400 million.
The total area of the tower will be almost 110,000sqm (1184000sqf) with offices and retail premises as well as apartments and penthouses.
The project, to be built in the new area of Moscow City within the limits of the third transport ring, is now in the advanced stage of design and coordination.
Construction is scheduled to begin at the end of this year, and the Tower is likely to be commissioned in 2010.
One ashtonising feature will be that the tenants of the villas would be able to rotate their villas according to sunlight, just by a voice-activated system.
Polonsky said, "The brightest feature of the building will be rotation of most floors around the central core, irrespective of the movement of other floors.
"Thus, floors will not be identical, which will allow the building to change the form constantly."
The method of construction will also be unique: the central core will be poured in-place, and the floors will be made section by section at a factory and fastened to the core when assembled.
