Vysotsky, Commercial skyscraper in Oktyabrski district, Yekaterinburg, Russia
Vysotsky is a commercial tower in Yekaterinburg standing 188 meters tall with 54 floors, featuring a glass facade and two internal atrium spaces. The building rests on a thick reinforced concrete foundation and creates a prominent silhouette on the city skyline.
The building was constructed between 2006 and 2011, replacing several heritage structures from the 1800s. Its construction sparked legal disputes regarding the protection of historical landmarks in the city.
The second floor holds a museum honoring the Russian singer Vladimir Vysotsky with personal belongings and a recreated hotel room on display. This space tells the story of an important figure in Russian cultural history and draws visitors interested in his life and legacy.
The building features a public observation deck on one of the upper floors that is open most days of the week. Visitors should note that opening hours may vary depending on the day of the week.
A French climber ascended the exterior in 2014 without safety equipment, demonstrating the remarkable durability of the glass facade. This feat brought international attention to the tower and showcased the strength of its construction.
