Moscow City Duma gives final approval to Moscow General Development Plan until 2025, including plans for the Metropolia business district
On May 5, 2010, the Moscow City Duma in the third and final
reading adopted the General Development Plan for Moscow until 2025,
which is Moscow’s main city planning document for the next 15
years.
The General Development Plan includes Metropol Development
Group’s plan for the business district Metropolia. The construction
will be done on 21 hectares on the premises of the former Moskvich
Automobile Factory, which, according to the documents, is a
multifunctional public zone. In compliance with Moscow’s General
Development Plan and the Rules of Land Use and
Development, the maximum height of the buildings will not exceed
120 meters.
Envisaging the construction of over 1.5 million square meters of
commercial and residential real estate just 3 km from the center of
Moscow, the new ultra-modern Metropolia business district is one of
Metropol Group’s most ambitious projects. The concept is based on a
symbiosis of business, advanced technologies and a unique
environmental space. The Japanese company Nikken Sekkei, a major
architectural and engineering company, has been hired to work on
the ambitious project.
The Group includes six battery plants and business units developing and introducing new technologies, and distributing products.
