The Moscow Research Forum reports that the Naberezhnaya Tower business center, developed by ENKA, has been awarded Prime class status in the updated 2024 office real estate classification. This significant achievement makes the Naberezhnaya Tower the sixth property in Moscow to achieve this prestigious status.
Updating the classification of office real estate
The Moscow Research Forum is currently continuing the process of reviewing and updating the classification of office properties in Moscow. Built in 2007, the Naberezhnaya Tower complex was constructed using advanced construction technologies and materials, ensuring its high durability and safety. The building's modern air conditioning, ventilation, video surveillance, and electrical systems meet Prime class standards.
Conditions for obtaining Prime status
To receive Prime status, a business center must meet 28 mandatory and 13 additional criteria. The Naberezhnaya Tower meets 26 mandatory and 12 additional requirements. Key factors include location within the Third Transport Ring (TTK), the Moscow-City business district, and the Leningradsky Business Corridor, as well as a single owner and compliance with strict technical standards.
Location and infrastructure
The Naberezhnaya Tower is located in the heart of the Moscow City business district on the Moskva River embankment, providing easy access to the capital's main transportation routes, such as the Moscow Central Circle (MCC), the metro, and numerous highways. The complex features restaurants, cafes, shops, and various service centers, creating a comfortable environment for company employees and visitors.
Technical features
Key technical features of the Naberezhnaya Tower include the ability to operate using a Building Information Modeling (BIM) model, an automated parking management system, and electric vehicle charging stations. The Moscow Research Forum emphasizes that Prime status confirms the high quality and demand for the property among tenants such as Ozon, Kommersant Publishing House, and IBM.
Developer's opinion
ENKA's Director of Real Estate Leasing, Hamdi Arjan Paiza, noted: "The Naberezhnaya Tower complex was built 17 years ago using the latest technologies and in a strategically important location. Thanks to high-quality construction, thoughtful architectural solutions, and expert operation, the complex deservedly earned Prime status among the first in the Moscow office real estate market. The high demand for space confirms this, as vacancies at the Naberezhnaya Tower are currently virtually nonexistent."
Updated classification of Moscow office real estate
In May 2024, leading consulting firms NF Group, CORE.XP, IBC Real Estate, Nikoliers, and Commonwealth Partnership presented a new classification for Moscow office real estate. This classification, which has not been updated since 2013, now takes into account the modern requirements and expectations of tenants and investors, dividing office properties into four classes: Prime, A, B+, and B-.
Other Prime Class Objects
In addition to the Naberezhnaya Tower, the following business centers are also classified as Prime: Belaya Ploshad, Romanov Dvor, AFI2B, Four Winds Plaza, and White Gardens. A full list of Prime-class properties will be published by the end of the year, providing tenants and investors with comprehensive information about Moscow's best office space.
History and architecture of the Embankment Tower
The Naberezhnaya Tower complex consists of three towers of varying heights, each a masterpiece of contemporary architectural art and engineering. The building includes high-end office space, conference rooms, spacious lobbies, and recreation areas. The complex's architecture blends harmoniously into the cityscape, offering panoramic views of the river and surrounding buildings.
Amenities and services for tenants
The Naberezhnaya Tower offers tenants a wide range of amenities, including a fitness center, dry cleaning, banking facilities, and medical services. These amenities make the complex attractive to large international companies seeking to provide their employees with maximum comfort and convenience.
Receiving Prime status confirms the Naberezhnaya Tower's leadership position in the Moscow office real estate market, demonstrating its compliance with the highest quality and safety standards.
