The total area of ​​the 75-storey building upon completion of construction will be 180 thousand square meters. meters, office - 76.9 thousand. The garage is designed for 444 cars.

At present, a lot of high-quality business centers have been built and are being operated in Moscow, corresponding to class “A” according to the international classification.

Moreover, some of these business centers are located not in the center of Moscow, but in fairly remote areas of the capital and even beyond the Moscow Ring Road. An example is the Khimki Business Park built by IKEA. The owner and manager of the Khimki business park is IKEA. Khimki Business Park offers the latest technology and design. Thanks to special glass facades, maximum insolation is achieved office space.

The second example of an upscale business center is Country Park, located in the Leningrad highway(Khimki). Business center "Country Park" is a conceptual "green" project on the 75th km of the Moscow Ring Road. The multifunctional complex is based on a business atmosphere that bears little resemblance to soulless office projects. This is the territory of a European city-park that has grown up on the principles of green development. Embodiment of the concept combined with competent pricing policy and first-class service allowed Country Park to attract the world's leading brands.

But still, the highest quality, luxury business centers are located in the Central Administrative District of Moscow, within the Garden Ring.

At the same time, it is worth noting that it is not possible to unambiguously determine the classes “A” and “A +”, since each of them has its own distinctive features. This is the location of the facility, ease of access, the situation with parking for both tenants of the business center, and for visitors and clients of companies renting offices in this business center, and one of the most important criteria and indicators of the success of the BC - the composition of the tenants. It can be both international corporations and large well-known Russian companies, and there may be representative offices of not so large-scale, but nevertheless respected and reputable Russian and Western companies - consultants, financiers, legal and law firms.

We conducted a survey of leading market participants commercial real estate(developers, consultants) closely related to the office rental market and tried to compile a list of 10 based on a combination of many factors - the quality of construction of the facility and the quality of its management, location, the qualitative composition of tenants of this business center and the level of rotation of tenant companies and, of course, the reputation of this facility in the professional environment of the participants.

The top ten business centers in Moscow, according to our research, include the following business centers:

Dukat Place III

And one more, in our opinion, worthy and noteworthy business center of class "A" in Moscow - "Dukat Place III". It rightfully occupies an honorable place in the top 10 business centers of the capital. "Dukat Place-3" is a 14-storey class "A" office building built in 2006.

Thus, the department of research and information of the Internet portal site tried to highlight the most significant business complexes in Moscow, which are included in the top ten business centers of class "A". But, of course, the commercial real estate market does not stand still, and there are more and more quality ones. We tried to single out the most functional ones, which included all the requirements for infrastructure, technical and engineering equipment, security requirements and organization of office space, and territorial location. Large development companies involve the best consultants and experts in their field in the development of the concept, development and support of the stages of construction of business centers. Renowned designers and architects working on the creation of commercial real estate create quality and style that satisfy the tastes of the most demanding consumers. Named by us, they have proven themselves as objects that can meet all the standards of international classification. As practice shows, the business centers described in our article were not empty even in the difficult financial and economic situation of recent times. The objects we selected did not offer a serious discount on rental rates, like many other Moscow business centers, whose owners in the pre-crisis time did not pay due attention to the needs of tenants and, as a result, during the crisis, tried to cut costs, save on management and maintenance services and were forced apply a serious discount in rental rates to ensure sufficient occupancy of the facility.

The reputation of ten of the best class A business centers in Moscow has been confirmed by years of successful operation in the capital market, in a highly competitive environment. These facilities are always in high demand for and are an example of a competent concept for the construction and management of high-quality business centers, both in Moscow and major cities Russia.

Gorbunova Alexandra

The total volume of class A and B office space today is 3.38 million sq.m. In the 3rd quarter of 2004, 140,000 sq.m. were built, more than 168,000 sq.m. were commissioned and sold. A significant proportion of the new Class A and Class B space that entered the market was sold or leased during the construction phase. In general, the percentage of unoccupied space in the class "A" in the market is 3.9% and in class "B" - 6.5%. This indicates the high activity of tenants and the presence of a shortage of space, especially in class "A". The rating of business centers of the capital below is presented by the fifty largest office buildings. Places in the rating were determined based on the total area of ​​the premises.

The volume of supply of quality premises of class A and B remains at high level, however, the rapid development of the economy leads to a further increase in demand for high-quality premises. Not only quantitative demand is growing, but also qualitative. Companies are demanding more and more amenities from the premises in which they intend to locate their offices. In general, demand, especially for class A office space, remains consistently high, and potential tenants still face a limited choice of quality premises.

The leader in the rating of the largest office centers in the capital is the largest business center to date - the Tower on the Embankment, the construction of which began in the summer of 2003. It will consist of three state-of-the-art office buildings with 135,000 sq. m. meters of leased space. The first building of the administrative and business complex was opened in October 2004. The first constructed 17-storey building (with an office area of ​​18 thousand square meters) has already been rented out. The second building will be 27 floors with 30,000 sq. m. meters of leased space. It is scheduled to be put into operation in November 2005. The construction of the third 55-storey building (243 meters high) of the Naberezhnaya Tower business complex is scheduled to begin in September 2005 and be completed in 2007.

The second largest business center in Moscow is a complex of buildings on M. Kaluzhskaya Street, not far from the Shabolovskaya metro station. The buildings are made in a modern architectural style. The premises belong to class B+ and are equipped with a central air conditioning system, supply and exhaust ventilation. The building has fiber optic telecommunications providing high-quality Internet access. Telecommunication service provider - MGTS. Overlapping reinforced concrete slabs. The tenants are mainly Russian companies. The security system provides round-the-clock security, video monitoring of the perimeter, alarm system, access control system.

Closes the top three Business center class B, located on Andropov Avenue. The total area of ​​a 20-storey building is 65,000 sq.m. The total area of ​​the complex is 7 hectares Architectural style buildings - Soviet architecture of the second half of the twentieth century. The complex is equipped with a fire alarm system, an emergency warning system in case of fire, a video surveillance system, a central air conditioning system, and supply and exhaust ventilation. The tenants are both Russian and foreign companies. Among the infrastructure facilities are: a fitness club, a cafe, a restaurant, a bank branch, an ATM, a conference room.

In the near future, the following projects may significantly affect the supply of office space:

• Moscow City (Krasnopresnenskaya embankment area, total area - approximately 1.8 million sq.m, of which more than 1 million sq.m are office premises);
• Technopark on the basis of the ZIL plant (in the Nagatinskaya floodplain, the area of ​​​​office premises is about 580 thousand square meters).

• 22-storey building from Stimul Group (Leninsky, 13-15, with a total area of ​​33,000 sq.m).

The market is overheated

According to Colliers International, 1.4 million sq. m of class A and B offices. As a result, the total volume of the high-quality office market in Moscow reached 16 million sq. m. m. By the end of 2014, about 15% of the total area of ​​metropolitan offices were not delivered, Vladimir Sergunin, regional director for business development at Colliers International, considered. At the same time, in class A offices, the vacancy increased by 11 p.p. year-on-year. - from 17 to 28%, says the director of the department for working with global corporate clients CBRE Irina Khoroshilova. In class B offices, growth, according to her data, amounted to 1.8 percentage points, up to 12.8%.

In 2015, the number of vacant premises may grow up to 35% in class A and up to 15.5% in class B, predicts Konstantin Losyukov, director of office real estate at Knight Frank.

Offices are getting cheaper

Following the increase in vacancy, rental rates began to fall. According to the results of the third quarter of 2014, Moscow remained in the top five most expensive cities in the world in terms of rental prices in the Prime segment, and by the end of the year it moved straight to 12th place, says Khoroshilova. In a similar rating compiled by Cushman & Wakefield, Moscow took sixth place, dropping three positions over the year.

The average asking rental rate for Class A offices fell by 25% in 2014 to $590 sq. m per year (triple net - net rent without taking into account the operating costs of the tenant) and has reached its lowest level in the last ten years, says Losyukov.

According to Knight Frank, the rental rate for class A office space, denominated in rubles, was 30,144 rubles per sq. m. m per year, for class B offices - 17,150 rubles/sq. m per year (triple net).

Tenant Battle

The owners of the premises are doing everything possible to keep the tenant: they offer customers long rental holidays (12-18 months), are ready to finance the finishing themselves, fix the rate and rental rate for the first 2-3 years, and even compensate for penalties for early termination of the lease, lists Khoroshilov. In the fight for disappearing tenants, most business center owners have already switched to ruble rental rates, adds Vladimir Sergunin from Colliers.

The developer MR Group switched to rubles last year, confirms the company's marketing director Evgenia Starkova, while the cost per square meter is now comparable to last year's dollar rates before the fall of the ruble. “We used to offer rental rates in dollars, since construction loans are denominated in this currency, but at the end of 2014 we switched to rubles,” says Maria Belova, head of the rental and marketing department at Mebe Development. “We are also ready to furnish the premises for the tenant, in accordance with his terms of reference, including the cost of finishing in rental rate" she adds. Another way, according to Belova, is to split the area into small office blocks from 150 sq. m, which are also rented already finished.

“Today's tenant is not ready to enter the stage of transactions until the tower is fully commissioned,” says Maria Sergienko, director of the commercial real estate department at Capital Group. Rental rates are now formed for each client "individually". To attract tenants, Capital Group is ready to fix the exchange rate for a period of more than one year, indexing the rate to the level of inflation, independently carry out Finishing work and even partially offset their cost to the client. The vacancy in the OKO Capital Group tower is now 100%. But it’s still impossible to talk about the complete absence of demand in the City, says Sergienko: “The Oko business center, unlike other skyscrapers in the City, was put into operation only at the end of 2014, so it’s too early for us to talk about occupancy. In addition, we see active interest from potential tenants, some of whom have already signed LOIs [letters of intent], which we hope to bring to contracts in the near future.” But she did not disclose the size of the areas on which such letters were signed.

And only in rare cases, the owners prefer not to notice the crisis, fearing the deterioration of the pool of their tenants. For example, according to Millhouse spokesman John Mann, the company has not only not changed the rental rate, but is not going to make any "concessions" to tenants. White Gardens is a first-class business center, he explains. “We have a long-term view and we are ready to wait for good clients.”
