Guide The Village: Five main shopping centers in Moscow

When huge shopping centers replaced the Soviet department stores, it was obvious that they would fill the niche between expensive boutiques and Asian markets with cheap consumer goods. To find out what role they play in urban infrastructure today and how they differ from each other, The Village made a series about the main malls in Moscow.

"Okhotny Ryad"

Manezhnaya pl., 1, bldg. 2

Far from being the largest shopping center in Moscow, but perhaps one of the most visited. This is largely due to the favorable location - a stone's throw from Red Square. " Okhotny Ryad”, Built in 1997, became one of the first shopping centers of a new design. The set of brands presented in Okhotny Ryad is not much different from any other shopping center in Moscow. Except that many of them first appeared here.

Afimall

Presnenskaya emb., 2

Of the existing shopping centers within the Moscow Ring Road, Afimall is the newest and largest. After two years of work in the six-story Afimall, not all of the spaces are still occupied, although there is a private parking lot, kosher restaurants, fish fast food and frozen yogurt at the food court. The brands presented in Afimall, on the whole, repeat the standard set of the Moscow shopping center, but there are also stores that first appeared here in Russia: Banana Republic, American Eagle, H&M Home.

"Metropolis"

Leningradskoe highway, 16

A spacious and bright shopping center, where, despite the not very convenient location, it is impossible to find at least one unoccupied premises. It has the largest food court in the city and many entertainment options, including for children. The arrival of some of the most important street brands in Russia is associated with Metropolis, from Swedish H&M to British River Island and New Look. The mall itself is divided into atriums, which is explained by the very shape of the building - an irregular semicircle.

"Atrium"

Zemlyanoy Val, 33

The management company Engeocom, which is currently building the central stadium in Sochi, built the Atrium in 2002. This shopping center is remarkable, first of all, for its location: it is located right on the Garden Ring. In addition to shops (including Uniqlo, Topshop, H&M and Zara), there is a nine-screen cinema, a standard set of points on the food court, a fitness club and even a children's theater.

"European"

Kievsky Station Square, 2

The first in Russia and the second in the world shopping center in terms of attendance: every day an average of 140 thousand people come here. Here you can find a standard set of Inditex holding, chain shoe stores, for example Aldo or Ecco, huge stores of cosmetics, accessories, jewelry. Among other things, "Evropeisky" is also a leisure place: there is a cinema, an ice rink, as well as a nightclub and karaoke with a hookah.

A little about the shopping center "Evropeyskiy"

When huge shopping centers replaced the Soviet department stores, it was obvious that they would fill the niche between expensive boutiques and Asian markets with cheap consumer goods. To find out what role they play in the urban infrastructure today and how they differ from each other, The Village continues its series about the main malls in Moscow. In the next issue - the shopping and entertainment center "Evropeyskiy".

Letter

You see black squares instead of photographs because the management of the shopping center refused The Village to provide any information, as well as to take photographs by sending the following letter to the editorial office: “The European shopping and entertainment center does not support your decision to launch any uncontrolled by us discussion of our mall on your resource (we have our own website, our own bloggers and PR specialists), so the information you are interested in will not be provided and you will not be allowed to take photos.

In the event that your actions cause us commercial damage or damage the reputation of our center, we are ready to defend our commercial interests by all legal means, including in court. "

Dear friends! If you like to travel around Russia and at the same time count your money, read the article about that, I have selected the best and proven sites. Read and get your money back!

Story

Opened in 2006, Evropeyskiy once became one of the first places in the center of Moscow where the middle class could buy more or less decent things: it was there that TopShop, Zara, Marks & Spencer, Tara Jarmon, Massimo Dutti and about 40 western marks. However, it is impossible to build a comfortable shopping on one good sample, and by a combination of factors, the shopping center is inferior to its competitors.

The European building, designed by the famous Soviet architect Yuri Platonov (who is, for example, the author of the Golden Brains, the building of the Russian Academy of Sciences), is a textbook example of Luzhkov's architecture. The building of the Kievsky railway station, standing across the road, looks like a girlish fragile next to it.

And the shopping center itself, according to many experts, turned out to be simply awkward. If the main entrance is located directly opposite the metro, then the rest lead to nowhere. But even this is not as embarrassing as the paid parking located on the fifth and sixth floors. By the way, "Evropeyskiy" has repeatedly been included in the ratings of the ugliest buildings in Moscow.

However, Evropeyskiy remains the first shopping center in Russia and the second in the world in terms of attendance: an average of 140 thousand people come here every day, more only at the Dubai Mall in the United Arab Emirates. And during the annual Cosmopolitan Shopping Night, the mall generally breaks all records.

The crowds of people randomly moving through its labyrinths make it uncomfortable to be here, especially on weekends. Such popularity is easily explained by the location: the city center, on the one hand - the railway station, on the other - the famous flower market, closed with the arrival of Mayor Sobyanin and gradually spreading along the neighboring lanes. This largely determines the average visitor to the shopping center.

Perhaps that is why the square in front of "Evropeyskiy" was chosen for the rally during the interethnic clashes in December 2010. And on June 5, 2012, a resonant fight between people from the Caucasus and football fans took place there.

Muscovites come here for the flagship Topshop and River Island, the huge Zara, M.A.C. cosmetics, the Kixbox corner, sportswear on the fourth floor. For some, “Evropeisky” is also a leisure place: there is a cinema, an ice rink, a nightclub and karaoke with a hookah.

Owners

Evropeyskiy belongs to the Kievskaya Ploshchad company, founded by businessmen God Nisanov and Zarakh Iliev - they rank first in the rating of the most successful owners of commercial real estate by Forbes magazine. Childhood friends, who grew up in the same village in Azerbaijan, have been working together in Moscow since 1992.

Their first joint object was the "Electronic Fair on Rizhskaya", then they acquired 15 hectares at Cherkizovsky market, in the early 2000s they opened a trade and fair complex "Moscow" in Lublin, then they bought the hotel "Ukraine", the market "Sadovod" from the capital government, and in 2002 they began construction of the "European".

The annual income of the Kievskaya Ploshchad company exceeds one billion dollars. In the list of the richest businessmen in Russia, according to Forbes, Zarakh Iliev is ranked 35th, and God Nisanov is 37th.

Device

Evropeyskiy has almost everything - it is a consumer paradise for the middle class. Here you can find a standard set of Inditex holding, chain shoe stores, for example Aldo or Ecco, huge stores of cosmetics, accessories, jewelry. However, Evropeyskiy is trying to cover even higher market segments. In addition to democratic brands, there are more expensive ones, for example Karen Millen and Fabi.

The mall has also allocated space for a two-level Pret a Porter gallery, which brings together the boutiques of Alena Akhmadullina, Furla, Tru Trussardi, Patrizia Pepe, Lancel and other luxury brands. The gallery, unlike the rest of the mall, is almost always empty.

And what do they say about "Atrium"?

When huge shopping centers replaced the Soviet department stores, it was obvious that they would fill the niche between expensive boutiques and Asian markets with cheap consumer goods. To find out what role they play in the urban infrastructure today and how they differ from each other, The Village continues its series about the main malls in Moscow. In the third issue - the Atrium shopping center on Zemlyanoy Val.

Atrium is a shopping and entertainment complex located on the Garden Ring, very close to the Kursk railway station, which adds piquancy to the areas surrounding the shopping center. Many find themselves in the Atrium armed with the desire to watch a movie, for this purpose there is a nine-hall (albeit not very cozy) cinema “Karo Film”. “A large selection of restaurants and cafes” in fact turns out to be represented by a strong-smelling food court and Il Patio with Friday’s, where there is always a queue. But on the territory of "Atrium" there is a fitness club and a children's theater, which not every shopping center can boast of.

Also "Atrium" is notable for its eco-programs, for example, there are special bins for separate waste collection, in honor of which a 13-meter man, assembled from ordinary plastic bags, was placed in the atrium of the shopping center. At the same place in different time the installations of the art group AES + F were located and the singer Santigold gave a concert. Speaking of music, Follow Me radio plays throughout the mall.

Story

The Engeocom management company built the Atrium in 2002, and is now building a central stadium in Sochi, where the main competitions will be held. The shopping center is located next to the Kursk railway station, which is being expanded this year, after which the facilities may be even closer to each other.

Device

In terms of the selection of brands that began their promotion in Russia, Atrium bypasses many shopping centers in the city. Here, the first Uniqlo opened with bargain prices for Japanese denim, and here for the first time they brought italian clothes Sia, Kiehl’s American cosmetics and much more. For some brands, the mall is still the only point of sale in the city.

Due to the modest footage in the store, there are no flagships - the largest brand stores with rare lines and a large assortment, but in the shopping center you can find stores of almost all popular mass market brands: H&M, Zara, Topshop, Uniqlo.

The Atrium lease is usually signed for five years, so there are no frequent openings here.

Food court

The Atrium food court consists of the traditional set of components of any other large shopping center: several places with inexpensive burgers, fried chicken at KFC, pancakes with dozens of fillings at Teremka, sandwiches, salads and pizzas in places whose names are not worth remembering ...

In addition to the food court, there are several separate cafes on each of the Atrium floors, which you can't go to especially: Shokoladnitsa, Yolki-Palki, Il Patio, Friday’s, Coffee House. The most decent one - Starbucks - is located on the ground floor not far from H&M. In the same place, across the store from the coffee shop, Dunkin 'Donuts used to work, now in its place they sell underwear.

An interesting detail about the third floor: here, on the territory of the cinema, the first in Moscow Mövenpick cafe operates, where they sell not only ice cream, but also other food.

Services

On the ground floor there is a large grocery store "Green Crossroads", and there is also a free children's theater "Courage" with interactive performances on weekends. There is an atelier, dry cleaning, shoe repair - all more or less necessary service areas. At the entrance to the underground parking, you can use the car wash services. Also, "Atrium" has its own fitness center of the same name with massage rooms and changing rooms.
