The use of the Tower includes (by leasing) shops, offices, restaurants and a cultural center to promote the maritime tourism and shipping product.
The investment is being carried out by Dimand together with Prodea Investments and the EBRD. The amount of investments reaches 40 million euros and is financed by Alfa-Bank. The new tower is expected to start operating in the first half of 2023.
