Yekaterinburg City

Yekaterinburg-City (Russian: Екатеринбург-Сити, Yekaterinburg-Siti) is a commercial district in central Yekaterinburg, Russia. It is located on Boris Yeltsin Street on the embankment of the Iset River and is currently under development. The area occupies five hectares.

The project's architectural planning and design belonged to French architectural bureau ValoDia and Pistre. The project's primary investor is UMMK-Holding. Construction would be responsible to Deputy Mayor for Construction and Architecture, Vladimir Kritskii. The project combines about 450,000 square meters of commercial space, offices, hotels, entertainment centers, cafes, and restaurants. The plans include 12 buildings: four office towers, a commercial area to accommodate typical small and average-sized businesses, a so-called trading gallery and two hotels.

Construction of Yekaterinburg-City started in 2007 and is scheduled to complete in 2014. Progress had a setback in 2014 due to the Russian financial crisis but government officials stated that it would still be finished by 2014. However, two skyscrapers of Yekaterinburg-City were finished over the expected completion date of 2014 in 2015.

Yekaterinburg-City currently has three skyscrapers, one hotel, and two high-rises.
