On the basis of the decision of the Town Planning and Architecture Committee (TPAC), the Association “Managing Holding “ADAMANT” (Blocks No 3, 4, 5, 6) and a subsidiary of the open joint stock company "Rossiyskiye Zhelezniye Dorogi” (“Russian Railways”), the closed joint stock company “Zheldoripoteka” (Blocks No 9, 10, 11, 46, 47) have received the order to develop the “Space Layout of Building Up the Area in the Moskovsky and Admiralteisky Districts of St. Petersburg, project “Izmailovskaya Perspektiva” (“Izmailov Perspective”), with the total area of 460 ha.
On 30th May a variant of the feasible space layout of building up the “Izmailovskaya Perspektiva” was considered at the meeting of the public Council for Town Planning and Architecture under the Governor of St. Petersburg.
The project “Izmailovskaya Perspektiva” has existed since 1998 and is unique for its scale for both the city and investors. Sometimes the main issue in planning such vast urban territories is a lack of system and accord of the investors in the space layout of their sectors. That is why the Holding Company “Adamant” and the CJSC “Zherldoripoteka” have proposed to introduce a new systematic approach in the design and accomplishment of large urban estates. The Chairman of the Town Planning and Architecture Committee A.P. Viktorov has approved the initiative and suggested the technique be applied on a wider scale, considering the possibility to use it also in the design of new blocks in the city centre.
As a consequence, the work done by the companies “Adamant” and “Zheldoripoteka” in keeping with the new technique enables to see the composition and space layout of the entire "Izmailovskaya Perspektiva" on an early stage of the project and to insert new blocks into the cultural and historic legacy of the city. It is owing to this initiative that one can speak now of the high-rise dominants of the “Izmailovskaya Perspektiva” and their influence upon the historical views of St. Petersburg.
In accordance with the space layout of the “Izmailovskaya Perspektiva”, the Holding Company “Adamant” has presented a detailed project of building blocks with the total area of 13.7 ha. In the 4th quarter 3 dominants with the height of 100, 90 and 80 m are planned for construction to host business centres and apartment hotels. All the rest of the sectors will be built up with public and business buildings. The block planning project and land surveying are expected to last till the first quarter of 2009. The construction of the buildings will start in 2011. The CJSC “Zheldoripoteka” plans to build up its sectors of the “Izmailovskaya Perspektiva” with high-rise residential facilities. Currently the company is also engaged in the project for carrying the railway museum from the Varshavsky station to the Baltiysky station, where a new building is planned for construction.
The significance and advanced character of the work have been highlighted in the summary of the meeting of the public Council for Town Planning and Architecture. The presented project of the space layout of building up the “Izmailovskaya Perspektiva” has been approved by decision of the Council.
