Moscow’s Deputy Mayor Andrey Bochkarev, responsible for urban planning policy and construction, said that a sociocultural area will emerge on the territory of the former Mamontov factory in the center of the capital.
The investor will develop an area of 4.5 hectares in the Presnensky district, which will include eight residential buildings as well as social and cultural infrastructure. Bochkarev said that more than a third of the area of u200bu200bthe block will be occupied by park areas with recreation areas, squares and streets, a French park and two gardens.
He stated that the entire area of the cluster will belong to pedestrians.
“The center will include a square with an amphitheater for conferences, concerts, exhibitions and summer gastronomic festivals,” Bochkarev added.
Sergei Kuznetsov, Moscow’s chief architect, said the complex’s design was based on a combination of modern buildings and restored buildings from the early 20th century.
“The historical buildings form a cluster with everything that is most important for a quality life and comprehensive development: cafes and restaurants, farm shops, an exhibition hall of Russian designers, a kindergarten, a gym, a modern playground and offices,” added Kuznetsov. . .
