The Esentai Tower (Kazakh: Есентай мұнарасы, romanized: Esentay munarası, Russian: Есентайская башня) also known as the Almaty JW Marriott Hotel is a high-rise mixed-use building in the Medeu District of Almaty, Kazakhstan. Built between 2006 and 2008, the tower stands at 168 m (551 ft) tall with 36 floors and is the current 5th tallest building in Kazakhstan. It was designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) and it is part of the Esentai Complex.

History

Architecture

The building is part of the Esentai Complex, a 368,000-square-metre (3,960,000 sq ft) mixed-use development built along the Esentai River in Almaty, Kazakhstan.[2] The building disposes of a total of 27,000 square metres (290,000 sq ft) of Class A office space between ground level and the fourteenth level included. The building also houses offices for Ernst & Young, HSBC, Credit Suisse, and Renaissance Capital.[3]

The first fourteen floors of the tower are occupied by offices, conference rooms, recreation areas and extensive shopping gallery with restaurants, with the 175-room Ritz-Carlton Hotel located above them, and the top eight floors of the building include serviced apartments.[4][5] The American firm Leslie E. Robertson Associates (LERA) provided the structural design for the building who conceptualized a high-rise solution for seismic areas.[6] The tower has a status of old-built greenframe building.[7] It received the LEED Silver certification in June 2016.[8]
