In his opening remarks, the chief architect of Moscow, Alexander Kuzmin, said that the land reserve of the capital is 2 million square meters, a third of which is planned to be built up with offices. At the same time, the eastern direction will be undesirable for office construction due to the underdeveloped infrastructure. He also noted that when creating new business centers, one should take into account the lessons of already implemented projects. For example, in the case of Moscow City “… construction made a powerful leap forward, while transport was delayed at the start”. Therefore, transport was declared a priority in business districts.

The first speaker was the architect Rainier de Graaf, a partner of the architectural office of Rem Koolhas OMA - known not only for his design activities, but for many studies and publications. Graaf spoke, in particular, about how he sees architecture in the future and presented the latest projects of the workshop. The diagrams shown to him show that rapid construction is now underway in the so-called. developing countries, and from this position it is the West, says the architect, can now be considered a "third world". For example, Dubai is actually from the desert, which it was in 1990, has now turned into a city of skyscrapers. The remuneration for architecture in China, for example, is several levels lower than in the United States or Great Britain, but the pace of construction there is several times faster. As for architectural forms, Graaf noted that skyscrapers are no longer engineering innovations, they are only looking for new ambitious forms, and the future belongs to low-rise business centers that combine many functions and work 24 hours a day. According to Rainier de Graaff, skyscrapers are still novelties for Russia, and until every major city has its own skyscraper, we will hardly be able to calmly switch to a humane and environmentally friendly approach.

"How can you distinguish yourself today - in the city of icons and the architecture of stars?" Rainier asks the question - only by stinginess, logic and avoiding extravagance. And as an example, he cites the recently created OMA project of the Renaissance business and hotel complex for Dubai, which is directed to the origins of constructivism. A laconic building-slab, standing on an artificial island, revolves around its axis following the movement of the sun and stops only 5 times a day "so that people can take a breath."

Sergei Tchoban's story was dedicated to the idea of a multifunctional environment, where there is everything for life, work and leisure. In this sense, the main task that the architect sets himself is to combine different functions and shape the face of the building. The architect defended the idea of multifunctionality in the Federation tower and is glad that now there will be more than a dozen hotel floors, apartments and public areas on the lower floors next to the offices. For St. Petersburg in the historical environment, near the Okhta Center (Gazprom City) under construction, Sergei Tchoban is now making a master plan for a business quarter, where even factory buildings not protected by the state are preserved, designed to recreate the spirit of the former industrial area.

The architectural bureau Genslers Masters Planning Group represented by Paul Feinberg and the developer Lev Pushkansky showed the project of a new business, residential and public center under construction in St. Petersburg “Marine Facade”. This area will be located on Vasilievsky Island, on the shores of the Gulf of Finland, returning to the island the town-planning role that Jean-Baptiste Leblon, the author of the first plan of St. Petersburg, ascribed to it, planning to make the center of the city in this place, with access to the big water. From the standpoint of modernity, a large business center is a long-awaited project for a city covered by the "gray belt" of industry and suffering from underdeveloped business and its concentration in the historical part of the city. The location of the Sea Facade on the city map, according to the authors, is quite convenient: 6-7 km from the historic center, soon this part of the island will be equipped with two metro stations and a network of tramways, the center will be directly connected to 2 airports by radial routes connecting the extreme points of the projected "ring" road, and the new area also goes to the bay, where a port with seven passenger berths will be built (the port is then going to buy out the city).

The area of the "Marine Facade" is 1.5 hectares, of which 30% will be open spaces, 20% - roads, 2 mil. sq.m - housing and 1.5 sq.m. - offices, as well as cultural and public areas. The business center itself will be located in the north of the site in high-rise towers, the highest of which is 275 meters. The project is scheduled to be completed by 2010.

After the presentation of the St. Petersburg project, they turned to the more ambitious and therefore more problematic construction of the Moscow-City MIBC, which is already 15 years old this year. As one of its authors, Gennady Sirota, head of workshop No. 6, Mosproekt-2, said, much has changed since the inception of the project, initially there were no SNIPs for high-rise buildings - now they have been developed precisely for this, so far the only high-rise project in the country. Initially, there were practically no private investors, but now strong developers are crowding out the pioneers. This also affected the number of areas, which from the planned 2,500 mil. sq.m. increased according to various sources from 4 to 4.5 mil. And also in the early 90s they could not predict the transport collapse, which threatens that people will not be able to either come or leave for their "heavenly" jobs at the same time.

Mr. Sirota believes that the main merit of MIBC is that this pioneering complex gave a start to other Russian skyscrapers, showing by its example that it is possible in Russia to build skyscrapers, and now the direction is actively developing. The second advantage of the MIBC is its location: only 4 km to the Kremlin and, in addition, the complex is located at the convergence point of all types of transport - river, railway, public, personal (ring road) and there is already a project for communication with airports via the railway … In contrast to this logic, Alexander Ortenberg, General Director of ZAO Strabag, recalled the Vienna Donau Center, built in a disadvantaged area, outside the city, where now a developed multifunctional center and where people go.

The third plus of the Moscow-City project was the fact that the offices were being withdrawn from the city center. About what the presenter of the conference soon asked a very fair question - will this not be a repetition of the mistake, when the business center is moved to another place with all its problems and it is better to immediately expand it into several local centers?

The chief architect of the Research and Development Institute of the General Plan of Moscow, Vladimir Korotaev, named the territories of Nagatino-Zil and the Paveletskaya industrial zone as promising areas for the development of business centers, which offer beautiful views of the Moskva River floodplain and are full of potential for more efficient use of the territory. "I am not against the plans of the Moscow Government, taxation is very important for the city, but the tendency is that industry is leaving the city and now it is necessary to decide what will be in its place."

An expert from Knight Frank noted that now there is a tendency for offices to leave the center, because the farther from the center, the more vacant space, which is now in great deficit. For comparison, the office segment in Moscow is now 5 mil. sq.m., and in the Big City it is planned to immediately 20 miles. and even that will not completely saturate the market. The expert named the western, south-western and southern directions of Moscow as promising directions, where the infrastructure is most developed and where developers will come first. The eastern direction is still less profitable, but a project of the Moscow-Nizhny Novgorod highway is already being discussed, which will pass through the eastern district and provoke the construction of business centers there as well.

The last speaker, Regina Lochmene from DTZ, suggested conducting a comprehensive study of Moscow in order to develop a concept for the development of the commercial real estate market, which, frankly, does not yet exist.
