Today Khanty-Mansiysk is a flourishing town, which in recent years has received considerable foreign investment.[citation needed] For example, in 2007, the English architect Norman Foster signed an agreement to build a 280-meter (920 ft) high skyscraper in an attractive part of the town. When it is built, the Crystal Skyscraper will be one of the tallest buildings in Russia[needs update]. Besides this, the Dutch architect Erick van Egeraat is planning to build a business complex in the town center.[citation needed]
