Gazprom’s contentious tower, now relocated to the Gulf of Finland, has cleared the latest planning hurdle after St. Petersburg’s authorities gave the go-ahead for the Lakhta Center.
Although the planned 500-meter structure dwarves the official height limit of 27 meters, the city’s architecture committee agreed to make an exception for the state-owned energy giant.
An earlier plan to build a 400-meter skyscraper in the city center was withdrawn last year due to widespread protest.
