But in the first half of 2009 Sberbank suspended financing of the project and the construction was discontinued. Fuks referred freeze on the loan to the current financial crisis. The company managed to build five underground floors and forty four overground floors.

The bank applied to the High Court in London and sought to protest a deal made by former president Mukhtar Ablyazov who had sold 50% of Techinvest company to Fuks.
