New buildings are gaining height: most of the “high-rise premieres” are planned outside the Moscow-City business center

Moscow is slowly but surely growing upwards: every year more and more skyscrapers with more than 50 floors are commissioned here. It is noteworthy that most of the "high-rise premieres" are planned outside the Moscow-City business center.

As Ekaterina Lomteva, Director and Head of Residential Real Estate at CORE.XP, told MK, by 2030, the Presnensky District, where Moscow-City is located, will retain the first place in the top 10 Moscow districts by the number of high-rise buildings (see table). In the second quarter of 2027, an 85-story building is planned to be commissioned in the International Business Center, which will become the tallest residential skyscraper in the metropolis.

The second place will also go to the Ramenki district. Two large-scale projects should be completed here by 2030. Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo will rise by 2 positions in the rating due to the completion of the construction of a business-class residential quarter on the bank of the Moscow River with its own embankment, which its creators called "a 15-minute city of the new generation."

The Khoroshevo-Mnevniki district will be replenished by two new projects by 2030. Similar changes are expected in the Mozhaisk district. In the Khoroshevsky district, three large projects are expected to be completed by this time. In one of the greenest and most prestigious districts of Moscow - Vernadsky Avenue - a business-class residential complex will be built on Lobachevsky Street.

Large-scale development of the former industrial zone of the Southern Port is taking place in Pechatniki. 14 buildings will be erected there. However, only four buildings are considered high-rise buildings. New high-rise buildings will also appear in Maryina Roshcha and Timiryazevsky districts by 2030.

By 2030, the districts with the fewest high-rise buildings, according to Lomteva, include Sviblovo, Moskvorechye-Saburovo, Savelovsky, Levoberezhny, Ochakovo-Matveyevskoye, Konkovo, Donskoy, Zapadnoye Degunino, Severnoye Medvedkovo and Filevsky Park. By the beginning of 2030, these districts will have only one high-rise building each. All the remaining districts of Moscow not listed above will not have high-rise buildings by 2030.
