Royal Plaza, Minsk, Office skyscraper in Minsk, Belarus
Royal Plaza is a 33-story office building with a modern facade combining geometric shapes and decorative architectural elements. The structure spans multiple levels housing office spaces and retail establishments that serve different functions within the same building.
Construction of Royal Plaza began in 2009 on the site of the former Rechka cafe. A crane collapsed at the start when the automatic protection system failed, but nearby shops were unharmed and no one was hurt. Work paused in late 2011 over Lithuanian glazing deliveries, and in March 2013 a piece of wall fell from the 22nd floor onto a shop roof during Hurricane Xavier.
The tower stands on the site of the former cafe "Rechka", next to the "Romashka" store, near Nemiga metro station, the Trinity suburb and the Palace of Sports. Its name is in English, and the building is also called Business Centre "Royal Plaza" in Belarusian and Russian. The 28th floor is planned for a restaurant with a panoramic view of the city.
Royal Plaza stands on Pobediteley Avenue beside the Nemiga metro station, the Troitskoye suburb and the Palace of Sports, on the site of the former Rechka cafe near the Romashka shop. The first floor is a public hall, the next two are retail, and floors 4 to 30 hold offices, with a restaurant on the 28th. There is one underground level but no underground parking, and nine lifts serve the tower, one of them panoramic.
The tower's frame is a monolithic reinforced-concrete structure without crossbeams, founded on bored piles 0.6 m in diameter and 14 m long plus a 1.5 m reinforced-concrete slab. Its curtain-wall facade mixes transparent and ventilated glass with porcelain stoneware and granite. Nine lifts serve the building, one of them panoramic.
