"The Vostok tower will be built to the 97th floor - there is no question about that. We are currently at the final stage of selecting an investor," Mirax First Vice President Nikolai Koshman said.

Another first vice president, Alexander Lagutin, said around $240-$250 million would be needed to complete the project.

Board chairman Maxim Temnikov said the corporation was currently negotiating with Alfa Bank and Sberbank, adding, however, that "a banking syndicate cannot be ruled out."

Russian business daily Kommersant said on Monday Alfa Bank would invest around $240 million in the project.

The tower is part of the Moscow City development in western Moscow. The project was delayed by four years due to the financial crisis and is now expected to be completed after 2016.
