Sydney City Business Centre

Sydney City is an independent business center within the multifunctional quarter of the same name on the bank of the Moscow River. The concept involves a balanced set of functions: Class A offices with high consumer properties, rich public spaces on the first levels and technological "stuffing" that supports the comfort and efficiency of users. According to the city, the total volume is about 75 thousand m², with a significant part of the first floors allocated for reception areas and retail and household infrastructure.

The building is designed for 24 above-ground levels with ceiling heights of 3.3–3.8 m on office floors and increased heights on lower levels — up to 8 m. The comfortable engineering “skeleton” includes supply and exhaust ventilation and central air conditioning. As it is commissioned, biometric access (FaceID) and flow analytics are expected to be implemented, as well as VR monitoring of individual zones.

Location and transport accessibility

The site is located at ul. Shenogina, 2 (building 3) in Khoroshevo-Mnevniki, in the northwest of Moscow — a few minutes' drive from Moscow-City and key highways. At the level of the rail framework, the location rests on Shelepikha (metro/MCC), and car access is provided by the Third Transport Ring and Zvenigorodskoye Shosse; the project materials note "5 minutes to Moscow-City" by car. Additionally, the Zvenigorodskaya station is planned within walking distance, the opening of which is expected in 2026.

For daily use, this means stable door-to-door scenarios: some employees get there via the Moscow Central Circle/metro and get to the block with minimal transfers, while others use a car with exits to the Shelepikhinsky Bridge and the Third Transport Ring. Such distributed access reduces the load on the parking lot during peak hours.

Developer

The developer is FSK Group. The company is implementing the Sydney City quarter in stages; according to the press service, the monolithic business center was completed in May 2024, and the commissioning is scheduled for 2025. Also in 2025, FSK announced a partnership with LEGENDA for the joint implementation of parts of the project on the first coastline. According to city and business press reports, the group itself and affiliated structures plan to occupy about half of the office space.

Business center infrastructure

Below is what forms the everyday comfort of users. The first and basement levels cover basic services: public areas, a food block, shops and auxiliary premises. At the perimeter level there is street retail for visitors to the quarter and employees, in the core there are elevator halls, access control and security systems.

• Functions of the first levels: reception, cafe/canteen, mother and child room, shopping area.
  

• IT and security (declared): biometrics (FaceID), video surveillance and analytics, VR monitoring.
  

• Engineering systems: supply and exhaust ventilation, central air conditioning.
  

• Fire safety: warning system and automatic fire extinguishing.
  

• Elevator fleet: 21 elevators designed to handle the traffic of a large business center.
  

• Parking: underground three-level parking for 313 spaces (+ 12 for motorcycles); a flat parking lot for ≈ 86 spaces for guests/visitors is also mentioned.

Engineering and technological solutions

The Sydney City office centre is designed as a stand-alone building, with much attention paid to the reliability of engineering and safety. Power supply and heating are centralised, and the water supply systems include uninterrupted hot water supply and multi-stage water purification. The complex includes a reception, security, checkpoints, alarms, video surveillance and electronic passes (ACS). The building has an adjacent territory and has free access, which increases convenience for employees and visitors, and its separate location ensures independence from neighbouring buildings.

Office space options

The layout logic is “clean” class A floors, focused on open space and/or mixed layouts. The rentable fund is estimated by brokers at ≈ 59.8 thousand m², which allows for the formation of a pool of lots of different formats: from medium-sized blocks to large headquarters. The ceiling height of 3.3–3.8 m on typical floors provides flexibility in terms of utility lines and acoustics; increased heights on the first levels are suitable for representative functions.

In terms of placement strategies, the property is equally suitable for both office rental with quick commissioning of areas and for modular consolidation in a long-term outline (if desired, the scenario of "rent an office" on one or several floors with a single front office). For corporate users, there are options to buy an office (a single outline on 1-2 floors) or combined models with a reserve for growth. (Assessments of areas and status are based on brokerage materials.)

About the area

The Sydney City quarter forms a new urban environment on the first line of the Moscow River: its own park and embankment, social infrastructure and commercial services for residents. According to the developer and specialized media, a kindergarten for 350 children has already been opened, a school for 775 children is being completed; residential buildings of subsequent stages and a business center are under construction within the quarter. This reduces the “migration” burden on employees - many services are available without leaving the perimeter.

The urban mobility of the district is supported by its proximity to Moscow-City, the Moscow Central Circle/Shelepikha metro station, exits to the Third Transport Ring and Zvenigorodskoye Shosse. For pedestrian accessibility, connections with the embankment and adjacent quarters of the Big City are emphasized.

Conclusion

Sydney City acts as an "anchor" of the business function on the north-western shoulder of Moscow-City: a large volume of high-quality areas, modern engineering, a strong transport matrix and a rich environment of the quarter. On the demand side - flexibility of lots and technological readiness (including the declared biometric and analytical services), on the management side - the concentration of a significant share of areas with the developer, which usually simplifies the issues of operation and standards of common areas. For companies that need scalable placement of class A near rail lines and the Third Transport Ring, the object covers several key criteria at once - from daily logistics to the representativeness of the first levels.
