Esentai Tower

Esentai Tower is a modern high-rise in Almaty with 38 floors and a height of 168 meters (551 feet). The structure combines glass and steel construction with office spaces, retail areas, and commercial facilities that rise above the surrounding cityscape.

The building was completed in 2008 and marked a turning point in Almaty's modern urban development. It rose during a period when Kazakhstan was reshaping its economic role following the capital's relocation to Astana.

The tower sits within a mixed-use complex that shows how Almaty transformed into a major business and finance hub. You can observe the mingling of global corporate culture with local commercial activity throughout the building's public spaces.

The tower is located in central Almaty with good access to public transportation and major roads. Keep in mind that accessibility to different areas of the complex may vary depending on the type of facility you wish to visit.

The building was engineered to withstand earthquake damage since Almaty sits in a seismically active zone. This protective engineering is embedded in the tower's design without compromising its sleek modern appearance.
