Obsidian Business Center

Only five minutes separate the new Obsidian business center from the CSKA metro station, and it is in this short period of time that the main secret of the project is hidden - the perfect balance between the speed of capital life and the comfort of a premium office. The five-story building with an area of 9,873 m² is designed for 1,426 workplaces and offers companies class A offices, where every detail is subordinated to the task of increasing the efficiency and status of the business. For those who are considering renting an office in a dynamically developing business cluster or planning to buy an office as a long-term investment, Obsidian becomes a point of attraction: it combines architectural expressiveness, flexible layouts and well-thought-out infrastructure. The project, developed by the developer Business Club together with the Kleinewelt Architekten bureau, includes a 100-seat amphitheater, a 19-meter monolithic sculpture staircase and an exploitable roof with lounge areas - elements that transform everyday work into a full-fledged lifestyle.

Location and transport accessibility

"Obsidian" grew up on Khodynka Field, in the prestigious Leningrad Business Corridor - an area where the offices of the largest Russian and international companies are historically concentrated. The CSKA metro station is 550-600 meters away, which allows employees and guests to get there on foot in a matter of minutes.

The proximity of Leningradsky Prospekt provides quick access to both the city centre and Sheremetyevo Airport, and an alternative route along Khoroshevskoye Shosse helps to avoid traffic jams during rush hours. For car owners, there is underground and above-ground parking with a coefficient of 1/200, which is significantly higher than the average in the capital. Bicycle parking and charging stations designed for electric vehicles reflect a modern eco-friendly approach to mobility.

Navigation and access 24/7

Access to the building is organised on the "one-card" principle - one card is valid for the turnstile in the lobby, elevators and parking. Visitors register electronically at iPad counters, which eliminates queues and increases the level of security.

Architecture and design

The business center's facade is covered with large-format terracotta panels of a deep graphite shade, referring to the name of the mineral - obsidian. Panoramic glazing at half height allows natural light to freely penetrate inside, reducing energy consumption and creating visual lightness.

The internal public core forms an amphitheater with a capacity of over 100 people, which can be transformed from a presentation space into a venue for chamber concerts and film screenings. The 19-meter concrete staircase with “floating” steps has become an art object and the actual heart of the building — it unites the floors and stimulates “vertical” communications.

The design concept supports the “Work-Live-Inspire” philosophy: on each level there are recreation areas with soft furniture, coffee points and dressing rooms; on the roof there are green terraces with Wi-Fi, where you can hold a meeting or a yoga session.

Planning solutions

The planning solutions of the Obsidian business center are thought out to the smallest detail and meet the needs of companies of different sizes. It combines flexibility, functionality and technology, providing a comfortable environment for productive work.

Flexibility of open space and privacy of offices

Free-plan floor slabs without load-bearing walls make it possible to create both open-space coworking spaces and office structures for representative offices. The standard window is 3.6 × 3.2 m; the column pitch is 8.4 m, which allows for work rows to be placed in two or three windows and to form isolated “quiet” and “active” zones.

Efficiency ratio

The rentable/usable ratio here is 0.86: only 14% of the area is occupied by common areas, so tenants get the maximum usable footage without overpaying.

Built-in engineering solutions

The height to the false ceiling is 3.3 m; the floors are equipped with a raised floor system with a cell height of 150 mm - utility lines can be easily removed during redevelopment. Central air conditioning with multi-stage filtration ensures a stable microclimate, and the supply and exhaust system with heat recovery reduces operating costs.

Ready-to-move vs. Shell&Core

For companies that value speed of entry, the developer offers fully furnished Ready-to-move blocks: reception, open space for 70-120 seats, plug&play meeting rooms, server room, showers and storage. At the same time, delivery in Shell&Core format is available for those who want to implement a corporate design from scratch.

Infrastructure

The infrastructure of the Obsidian business center creates a complete environment for work, rest and everyday tasks. Everything is provided here: from restaurants and fitness to medical offices and high-tech services available to tenants 24/7.

First floor

• Restaurant of signature cuisine (110 seats) with delivery to floors via call-service.

• Café-to-go and area for couriers - the courier registers the delivery at the self-service kiosk, and an electronic notification is sent to the recipient.

• Conference hall 240 m² with mobile partitions, allowing to divide the space into three independent rooms.

Upper levels

• Fitness studio with showers and physiotherapy rooms.

• General practitioner and dental offices available to tenants through a corporate subscription.

• Multi-format meeting rooms (8 – 20 people) in each wing.

Technologies and service

• The concierge app combines meeting room booking, food payment, dry cleaning call and technical support service.

• The parking lot has a car wash, tire service, and tire storage; clients can rent an office with the fix-parking option — a designated parking space.

• An event-service package (catering, technical support, online broadcasting) is available for events, thanks to which the premises are in demand not only for office rental, but also for holding conferences and workshops, which increases the return on investment when the premises are subsequently sold by the investor.

About the area

Khodynka Field has transformed from a former airfield into the largest mixed-use cluster in Moscow: nearby are the Aviapark shopping mall, the CSKA Arena ice palace, the landscaped Khodynka Field park, and a pedestrian square with installations by Sergei Tchoban. Within a kilometer radius are more than 30 cafes and restaurants, three fitness clubs, kindergartens, schools, and the MGIMO campus. Such an environment increases the value of the purchase: selling offices here gives the investor not only a stable income from tenants, but also capitalization growth.

Safety

The building management system (BMS) combines access control, video surveillance (Full HD 360°), automatic fire extinguishing and water leak sensors. Security on duty and the Facility Management service work 24/7, and the "Safe Office" protocol implies barrier-free access for employees with limited mobility. In the context of the new ESG focus of business, such standards are becoming an integral part of the decision to buy an office in a project.

Developer

Business Club is a Russian full-cycle company acting as the developer, technical customer and general contractor of Obsidian. The developer's portfolio already includes more than 120,000 m² of office and hybrid spaces; all facilities are built according to the conscious construction principle: minimizing the carbon footprint, recycling construction materials, and implementing smart systems.

"Obsidian" is not just an address on Khoroshevskoe Shosse, but a complex business ecosystem, where every minute and every square meter work for the company's results. Here it is convenient to rent an office to start a project, to buy an office for a corporate headquarters profitably and to consider selling a block in the future, based on the dynamics of the area. The combination of a strategic location, outstanding architecture and hospitality-level services forms an offer that already today corresponds to the office of "tomorrow". If your business requires a space that reflects the ambitions and values of the 21st century, "Obsidian" will become this space.
