In 2024, investors built seven business infrastructure facilities as part of the reorganization of former production areas. This information was reported by Vladimir Efimov, the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Planning Policy and Construction.
“Seven business infrastructure facilities with a total area of almost 170,000 square meters were built by developers on the territory of former industrial zones. New office buildings and business centers were built in Dmitrovsky, Danilovsky, Khoroshevsky, Butyrsky districts, as well as in Pechatniki, Staroye Kryukovo and Shchukino. Due to the implementation of these projects, about 4,400 jobs will appear in Moscow,” Vladimir Efimov said.
The construction of business centers goes in parallel with the construction of residential areas. Such approach to the formation of the urban environment makes it possible to create jobs next to new houses.

One more office building with the area of almost 12,000 square meters appeared in the industrial zone of Dmitrovsky district,” Vladislav Ovchinsky, Minister of the Moscow Government, Head of the Department of Urban Planning Policy of the capital, said.

The eight-storey building with an area of 11,800 square meters will accommodate free-plan offices.The construction of the facility in Shchukino will create over 600 jobs.
