Akhmat Tower (Russian: Ахмáт Тáуэр) is a supertall skyscraper undergoing ground preparations in Grozny, Chechen Republic of Russia. Construction started on 2 January 2016, and as of September 2016, the piling work was completed. It was scheduled for completion in 2020,[1] but as of May 2022, the tower still stands incomplete.[2]

Akhmat Tower is named after former first President of the Chechen Republic, Akhmad Kadyrov.[3]

The building is planned to be 435 m (1,427 ft) tall, with 100 floors. The design of the building is heavily influenced by Vainakh tower architecture, modeled after the military towers. The building will incorporate offices, apartments, a 5-star hotel, parking, a museum, and public spaces.
