The Karacharovsky Mechanical Plant (KMZ) is located in the Nizhny Novgorod District of the South-Eastern Administrative District (SEAD) at 2 Ryazansky Prospekt. It is a resident of the Technopolis Moscow special economic zone (SEZ).

Founded in 1950, the company remains one of the leaders in domestic elevator manufacturing. The plant produces approximately five thousand elevators annually. Its products are in high demand on the Moscow market—elevators manufactured at KMZ have been installed in thousands of residential and public buildings throughout the capital, including such famous Moscow landmarks as the Cathedral of Christ the Savior and the memorial on Poklonnaya Hill.

In recent years, the plant has been actively supplying its products to new buildings constructed under the renovation program.

According to the approved development plan, the above-ground non-residential area of KMZ facilities will more than triple to 194,220 square meters, of which 165,900 square meters will be new construction. Most of the new facilities will be built with private investment. As a result of the plant's modernization, the main production facility with its boiler room will be preserved and new public and industrial facilities will be constructed, including a production complex with a testing tower, two administrative and industrial buildings, and an above-ground parking garage.

Additionally, a restaurant with an observation deck and a conference room will be opened in the test tower building, and a recreational area for employees is planned for the plant grounds.

The plant's modernization will increase its production capacity to 12,000 elevators per year. The facility will also be able to manufacture heavy-duty and commercial escalators, moving walkways, lifting platforms for people with disabilities, control stations, multimedia screens for vertical transport, telemetry kits, and other elevator components.

Overall, approximately 3,000 new jobs will be created, bringing the total workforce to over 4,500. Thus, the KMZ production site will become Russia's first elevator and vertical transport cluster.

A new school and kindergarten in southeast Moscow

A new urban neighborhood will be built on the site of the former Yuzhny Port industrial zone. The redeveloped area is located in the southeastern part of Moscow, in the Pechatniki district, between Proektiruyemy Proezd No. 1423, Yuzhnoportovaya Street, the Moskva River embankment, and 2nd Yuzhnoportovy Proezd.

Here, as part of the integrated territorial development program, real estate with a total area of 282,170 square meters is planned to be built. The project will include modern residential complexes with apartments totaling 118,790 square meters.

"In the Pechatniki district, on part of the former Yuzhny Port industrial zone, we will build residential complexes, a school for 625 students, a kindergarten for 325 children, public and business facilities, and other facilities under the KRT project," the Moscow Mayor wrote on his MAX messenger channel.

In addition, the reorganization of the adjacent street and road network, which is approximately one kilometer long, and landscaping of the area are planned.

Thanks to the implementation of the territorial planning project (TPP), over 4,500 people will receive modern housing. Additionally, nearly 2,300 new jobs will be created.

The approved PPT is part of a large-scale project to create a new economic activity center, Yuzhny Port – Tekstilshchiki.

School in Vostochnoye Degunino

The Moscow government also approved a development plan for a 15.35-hectare area in the Vostochnoye Degunino district.

The proposed site is located near properties 77–83 on Dubninskaya Street. The site is currently occupied by outdated buildings—the industrial warehouses of the former Vagonoremont industrial zone, many of which are in poor condition.

The project calls for the construction of 443,810 square meters of real estate on the site of former warehouses. It will include modern residential complexes (with apartments totaling 211,690 square meters), a school for 1,000 students, and a public and business complex.

"Thanks to the implementation of the integrated development program, more than 6,500 people will receive new housing and over 2,800 jobs will be created. The project will be implemented, in part, as part of the integrated territorial development program," the Moscow Mayor wrote on his MAX messenger channel.

The project includes the redevelopment of 0.85 kilometers of adjacent roads, improvement of courtyards, walking areas, playgrounds, and sports fields. The project also includes comprehensive landscaping, surface and underground parking, and charging stations for electric vehicles.

The project will be implemented, among other things, within the framework of the integrated territorial development program.
