Parus Business Centre, Office skyscraper in Kyiv, Ukraine

The Parus Business Centre is a 33-storey office tower at 2 Mechnikova Street, rising 136 metres (156 with antenna). Its reinforced-concrete frame is clad in a Schüco glass curtain wall, and the oval plan gives the building its sail-like profile. Inside are 75,000 m² of usable floors, two conference halls and a four-level underground car park for 300 vehicles.

Construction of the building started in 2004 and was completed in 2007, at which point it became Ukraine's tallest structure. This milestone reflected the country's rapid urban development during that period.

The building was first known as Elsburg Plaza; the name Parus (sail) was adopted because its oval form recalls a ship's sail. On the 24th floor is the main studio and legal address of the TV channel Pryamyi, opened there on 24 August 2017. The roof grille carried advertising, and from 2013 to 2022 its curved screen served as a clock for the Inter channel.

The building stands between Mechnikova Street and Lesi Ukrainky Boulevard, at 2 Mechnikova St. Its four-level underground garage holds 300 cars, and a free bicycle stand offers 12 spaces. Eleven lifts serve the floors, eight of them Otis high-speed cars running at 4 and 6 m/s.

On 28 May 2008 three men base-jumped from the tower; all landed safely, but the Parus security staff were dismissed. The curved rooftop billboard later served as a clock for the Inter TV channel from 2013 to 2022. The building also appears in the 2008 film Illusion of Fear and in the 2009 Russian film Lucky.
