Five of the most grandiose skyscraper projects on the international real estate market will be exhibited at MIPIM, to be held in Cannes from 13 to 16 March 2007.
New York
The U.S. World Trade Center Association 
will showcase the New York Freedom Tower, the highest and most symbolic of the four buildings on the Ground Zero site that are replacing the twin towers destroyed in the 2001 attack. This Statue of Liberty meets the new security requirements introduced by anti-terrorist measures, but still holds its flame to the sky 541 metres, (1,776 feet) above the ground, the latter figure a reference to the year the United States achieved independence. In addition to its size, the architects are celebrating the memory of those who disappeared by a combination of space and light, positioning the buildings around the sites of the former towers so they will be free from any building, and bathed in sunlight every September 11 at the exact time of the attacks.

This project will become the tallest tower in the world at between 700 and 800 metres high. The tower's geometry is inspired by the region’s cultural influences, especially the base, which represents the petals of a desert flower.
Moscow
The Russian group Mirax will unveil 
its ‘Federation Business Complex’ in Moscow’s new business district, breaking a European height record with its 448 metre Federation Tower. Chosen from forty projects submitted by the world’s finest architecture practices, the structure has been designed for both high quality offices and luxury apartments, together with an international hotel, conference rooms, shops, restaurants and local services.

The Zlota 44 tower, due to become the highest building in Poland at 192 metres, is the architect’s first project in his country of origin, while his prestigious work around the world is already influencing a new generation of architects and decision-makers in urban development. Daniel Libeskind is providing the city centre of the Polish capital with 251 residences of unprecedented luxury.
Paris
The new "Tour Phare" at La Défense shall break Paris height records. The project to be presented at MIPIM 2007 goes well beyond the demands of the EPAD charter for sustainable development, using natural ventilation through the building’s façade, and windmills on the summit.
