The Moscow City 2 business center project, planned for the Kamushki district, will no longer begin with excavation and piling, but will instead begin with the reconstruction and construction of the road network. The Moscow City Government plans to achieve the following goals by 2028:
-
Construct a new exit from the Third Traffic Ring Road (TTK) to Antonov-Ovseenko Street and another new road section along TTK;
-
Then reconstruct Antonov-Ovseenko Street (the section from Podvoiskogo Street to the First Krasnogvardeisky Proezd);
-
Furthermore, work will be carried out on projected lane number 6672 and the First Krasnogvardeisky lane;
-
Complete the extensive reconstruction of the Third Traffic Ring Road/Shmitovsky Proezd intersection and the Shmitovsky and Second Krasnogvardeisky Proezds Renovation of auxiliary roads along the route;
-
Organization of pipeline planning, greening, and construction of a 30-meter-long underground pedestrian crossing next to the Third Ring Road.
These measures aim to improve accessibility in the Kamushki neighborhood, the future City-2, the Moscow City business center, and surrounding areas, and increase the capacity of the Third Ring Road. The total length of roads being renovated and newly constructed is approximately three kilometers. These projects are being implemented within the framework of Moscow's targeted investment program.
What do we know about City-2 itself?
-
Scale of Development: The City-2 commercial center will be built within the Kamushki residential complex, with a total construction area of approximately 2 million square meters.
-
Height: The project envisions two high-rise towers atop a distinctive podium, housing office and retail space.
-
Residential Component: According to moscow-city.online, the project will feature three residential towers reaching 450 meters in height, with underground parking. The total project area will be 470,000 square meters, of which 385,000 square meters will be residential.
-
Plot Bidder: Strana-Development won the bid for plot 2 on Krasnogvardeysky Proezd in April 2024, with plans to build a multifunctional complex covering nearly 281,000 square meters, of which approximately 232,000 square meters will be residential.
Background and Significance
-
The City-2 project is a key component of the Big City business cluster, which could grow to 6.8 million square meters by 2035.
-
By 2040, the Greater City is expected to provide approximately 260,000 jobs and significantly increase the economic vitality of the western part of the capital.
-
Therefore, the road infrastructure surrounding the Kamushki district is becoming a strategic foundation for a large-scale transformation project for Moscow's future.
To summarize:
Taking an infrastructure-first approach to ongoing construction is a wise and necessary approach: accessibility, communications, and transportation infrastructure must be ensured before high-rise construction begins.
Strategic Vision: City 2 will become a new growth center for commercial and residential development in the capital, seamlessly integrating with the Greater City's citywide development plan and revitalizing it into a "city of the future" with unique architectural features and opportunities.
