Designing foundations and foundations for buildings and structures of high-rise complexes is a complex engineering task. Modern architectural concepts and constructive solutions should be based on geotechnical justification at the stage of developing the architectural design of the project. Huge loads from above-ground structural elements of high-rise buildings and the high cost of measures for the installation of underground structures create their own characteristics in the design of foundations. In this paper, we study the problem of choosing the type of foundation for a high-rise building from the point of view of technical and economic rationality based on studying the experience of designing complex multifunctional complexes in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The authors believe that the choice of a constructive solution for the foundation of a high-rise complex is influenced by both geological factors and socio-economic ones. The result of this study is the grouping and systematization of the geotechnical factors of the building area and the economic factors of the urban environment that directly or indirectly affect the construction projects of high-rise complexes.

Technical and economic peculiarities of construction and exploitation of these unique buildings should be considered during the project. One of the peculiarities are the ability to save city´s space, to be main architectures of the city. The most important organizational economic targets of a diversification of management are presented by innovative activity of the industrial enterprise.

Keywords: diversification of management, production diversification, financial and economic purposes of a diversification, technological purposes of ensuring flexibility of production
