Russia: Moscow City! | Windows to Russia!

Hello,

I was just drinking coffee & thinking about an article that I had read on Moscow City. My Wife and I have driven by the construction site many times. It is very impressive. We decided to look into what was being built. Here is what we found.....

============================================

(Link)Moscow International Business Center “Moscow City” is the future of business in Russia; the future has arrived. GDO City Properties is the market expert on this exciting new development.

In the past, Moscow has been plagued by an aged infrastructure and a lack of efficient organization for conducting business. In 1992, a decision was made to change this. Today Moscow City, one of the largest investment projects in Europe, is now rapidly nearing completion along the Krasnopresnenskaya embankment. Covering a territory of a square kilometer and incorporating all the elements for work and lifestyle, the “New Central Business District” will truly be a city within a city.

Any business serious about success in Russia will be represented in Moscow City. The new City Hall, rising over 300 meters, will be centralizing virtually all functions of Moscow city government and Duma, providing unparalleled access for businesses located there. Given the concentration of businesses occupying the 5 million square meters of grade A office space, symmetries will exist for conducting business like nowhere else in the world. Travel time to meetings that once took hours will now take minutes. A trip from home to the office can now occur on a single, high-speed lift.

===========================================

This is a fantastic project that is actually going to bear fruit. This is Ultra Modern City!

Another link to Fosters + Partners! Fabulous web site! It is on the Moscow Tower. The tallest structure in Europe when done.

ROTUS said...: Kyle,

It would be nice if the four thumbnails would open larger versions of the pictures when clicked. The architecture is beautiful and I wanted to see it better.; 29.11.07
Kyle & Svet Keeton said...: Hey Rotus,

I did also, but that is the best I could find. I guess they do not want any one to get to close of a look.

Thanks for coming by.

I will keep looking for better pictures.

Mazlin said...: Very interesting! Who are the developers: is it the government or private sector? I think I've found a link to one of the buildings and it is by a famous British architect:
foster and partners

Kyle & Svet Keeton said...: Hey Rotus,

They show alot more detail.

Kyle & Svet Keeton said...: Hey Mazlin,

Yes you are correct. The link was to the tower. It is a government funded project. This is to invite the world to do business with Russia. It will be very neat when done and a lot has been built. My wife and I need to go take pictures.

Europe Trotter said...: I couldn't imagine Ultra Modern Moscow - It just seems unreal! But I guess that has always been said for Moscow - what about Vladimir Tatlin's Monument to the Third International!?!; 24.12.07
Kyle & Svet Keeton said...: Thanks europe trotter,
