High-rise development for 5000 residents: Krane-Shaftow's project officially approved
The city of Krasnoyarsk has officially approved the master plan for the development of a 18-hectare area on Ulitsa Shahterov. This decision comes after public hearings that concluded on March 12.
This area, currently home to warehouses, utility buildings, and markets "Luch" and "Yužnyi," is set to be entirely cleared of existing infrastructure. In its place will rise a contemporary residential neighborhood with buildings up to 25 stories high, housing approximately 2820 apartments for around 5098 residents.
The development will be handled by OOO "SZ 'Megapolis."
The project includes the creation of social infrastructure. This includes a kindergarten with space for 300 children, which the developer is obliged to hand over to the city upon completion, a school for 1280 students with a plot allocated by the municipality for further construction with municipal funding, and additional facilities for private kindergartens for 80 children.
The development will also feature a multi-function cultural and educational center, a library, and a multi-level covered parking garage for 500 vehicles. The total number of parking spaces in the new neighborhood will be 2580, of which 50 will be reserved for public and business buildings.
Landscaping in the new neighborhood must meet minimum requirements, with at least 25% of the overall area allocated for greenery.
DELA reported that OOO "SZ 'Megapolis," which won the auction in 2024, offered 280.67 million rubles for the land, compared to an initial price of 267.3 million. According to the terms of the agreement with the city, the company is obliged to develop the area in 8 years.
Construction is divided into three phases:
- Phase 1 (2025-2030)
- Phase 2 (2026-2032)
- Phase 3 (2027-2032)
The developer has also taken on responsibilities for the beautification of adjacent areas and ensuring the district has the necessary engineering infrastructure.
Public hearings held in March did not lead to any changes. DELA reported that Krasnoyarsk residents expressed concerns about potential transport chaos due to population growth in the area, as well as the impact of high-rise construction on the city's ecology. However, most questions focused on the preservation of existing structures and improvements to the social infrastructure.
All comments were submitted by OOO "SK-Polimeri," a company that owns part of the land affected by the master plan.
Representatives of the organization proposed to preserve their real estate assets, add social facilities such as a cultural center seating 500 people, a sports and recreation complex, a music school for children, a youth center, and a themed recreation park, as well as specify a clear order of construction phases and redevelopment.
However, the commission overseeing the public hearings deemed these suggestions impractical. In the end, the plan was approved without changes.
Now, following the approval of the master plan, the developer can begin preparing project proposals for future buildings. It's likely that demolition of the existing structures on the site won't be far behind.
