Triumph Palace is a high-rise residential skyscraper in Moscow and was one of the city’s tallest residential buildings when completed in the early 21st century. The tower contains multiple residential floors and ancillary services for residents.

Located within the Moscow metropolitan area, the tower stands among other large modern developments and is visible from several approaches to central Moscow.
