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.

Its dynamic retail and rich urban context provide the essential components of a great urban space; especially the year-round activity and performance opportunities.
