Yekaterinburg TV Tower

Construction work started 1983, but was put on hold in 1991, following the collapse of the Soviet Union,[1] as its shaft reached the height of 220 m (720 ft).

[2] According to plans, the tower was intended to reach a structural height of 360 m (1,180 ft).

[citation needed] On February 21, 2017, the regional Property Fund put up the TV tower and the adjacent land plot with an area of 46.8 thousand square meters for an electronic auction with an initial price of 652 million 772 thousand rubles.

[3] The tower was demolished on 24 March 2018, as part of a city beautification programme in preparation for the 2018 World Cup.

[1][4][5] The UMMC Arena was built on the site of the TV tower.
