Located near St. Petersburg, the giant “Human Anthill” has wowed people with its enormity – and made some wonder what food delivery might look like here.
Most of the apartments are single or double, and there are an average of four to six apartments on each floor.
And probably a relief for residents, each part of the complex has four high-speed elevators.
Giant apartments appeared in 2015 – and their popularity has skyrocketed since they hit the market.
The entire first floor of the block is rented out to businesses, which is extremely convenient for residents and makes the plot almost like its own city.
A user on Russian social networks claims that the building has incredible benefits for residents.
Among them are seven grocery stores, three beauty salons, a private kindergarten, numerous cafes and a post office.
They added that “they once spent half a year without leaving the premises” because the complex has everything they need.
Parking is also incredibly free.
It was also said that “there is no disturbance or noise” because the walls between the apartments are thick.
The longest residential building in the world has 15,000 windows, 170 entrance doors, and local residents need a bus to get from one end to the other
A Reddit user who says he’s lived there for eight years claims residents like the complex because most are working individuals and the apartments are conveniently located.
Another user pointed out that the apartments in the center of St. Petersburg are “old” and “too expensive” – perhaps making the complex a great option for commuters.
But apartments housing thousands of residents come with problems, such as one resident who claims there are queues for the elevator every night – just like public transport.
Despite this, tenants claim that they like living in the giant complex because of the convenience of its location and because they have everything they need in the block.
Unfortunately for locals, the cheap flats that originally cost around £30,000 have disappeared and now a new two-bed flat costs around £76,000.
It comes as incredible pictures show Europe’s tallest skyscraper in the middle of nowhere – and most people have never even heard of it.
The incredible megastructure Lakhta Center stands taller than both the Empire State Building and the roof of One World Trade Center.
At a mighty 1,516 feet, Russia’s 87-story Lakhta Center takes the title of tallest building on the continent from Moscow’s Federation Tower.
The isolated needle-shaped skyscraper is located 12 km outside St Petersburg.
Inside is an incredible 2,000-seat amphitheater, along with a sports center, shops, restaurants and offices.
The mega-structure makes the Shard look tiny as it towers over it by nearly 500 feet.
Not only was it declared the tallest building in Europe, but it is also the 16th tallest building in the world.
The shell of the skyscraper is made of 16,500 individual glass panels that are equipped with automatic shutters to reduce heat loss.
Residential and commercial spaces fill the building up to 1,181 ft with an observation deck and restaurant at the top.
