Situated along Moscow’s Ring Road and adjacent to the legendary Paveletsky Station transportation hub, the park at Paveletskaya Plaza will both cover and reveal the new bustling underground retail facility below while also serving as a landmark destination for residents and visitors alike.

We have sculpted this setting to foster a rich dialogue between the retail and park experience, and in doing so, have elevated the value of both.
