«Today FASHION HOUSE Group held an official breaking the ground ceremony to mark the start of the FASHION HOUSE Outlet Centre Moscow construction having received the positive conclusion of the State Expertise for the project (Building Permit).
The ceremony was attended by the representatives of developers FASHION HOUSE Group, Liebrecht & wooD Investment Fund, the city district administration and high officials, local developer of the project GVA Sawyer, Russian leasing agents MAGAZIN MAGAZINOV, as well as over 120 guests, including friends and partners of the company involved in the project.
FASHION HOUSE Outlet Center Moscow is the first FASHION HOUSE Group project in Russia. FASHION HOUSE Group is the leading factory outlet developer in CEE and an expert in emerging markets. Their portfolio currently includes the management of three award winning Outlet Centres in Poland as well as centres in Denmark, Switzerland and Romania. They currently have development projects in Romania, Slovenia and Ukraine as well as a second Russian site in St. Petersburg.
FASHION HOUSE Moscow will be located 12 km away from Moscow, on Leningradskoe Shosse, near the Sheremetyevo International airport. The site, which was acquired by the company in 2009, is ideally suited for the outlet center format – it is located in the outskirts of a capital city, with a high volume of passing traffic, and will also benefit from the planned construction of a Moscow-Saint Petersburg highway. It is in a highly populated area, with a catchment area of 13.4 million within a 90 minute drive time, has high visibility, is located on the right side of the road, has a straight driveway leading up to it and a turnaround point only 500 meters away.
The FASHION HOUSE Moscow site is 38,826 sq m with 28,641 sq m GLA; it will be home to 192 outlet units, foodcourt and cafes, 1865 parking spaces and a children’s play area. The 97 million Euro project is funded by the Liebrecht & Wood Investment Fund.
FASHION HOUSE Outlet Centre Moscow will be a fully-enclosed outlet centre, which is a key factor in ensuring the comfort of visitors under the existing climate conditions, since for over six months out of a year the weather is not conducive to being outdoors for long periods of time. The architectural concept will exhibit the “traditional Moscow classic architectural style.” The interior will boast the “Window to Europe” concept: galleries will transport the visitors to the streets of various European cities, including London, Paris, Milan and others.
GVA Sawyer is the Russian developer of the project. The company has been working for 18 years on the real estate market of Russia and CIS, has extensive experience in the field of development, consulting and valuation. Fashion House Outlet Centre Moscow documentation has successfully been passed by the authorities and on April 3, GVA Sawyer obtained a positive conclusion of the State Expertise (Building Permit).
The outlet center is leased by FASHION HOUSE Group and the Russian-based consulting company MAGAZIN MAGAZINOV part of the CB Richard Ellis Affiliate Network, who is the exclusive leasing agent in Russia. Leasing is ahead of schedule with 65% of the first phase let which is 16,000 sq m.
