The new residential neighborhood ZILART is being built on the banks of the Moskva River, ten minutes walk from the ZIL MCC station and twenty minutes from the Avtozavodskaya metro station. The territory of the complex covers 65 hectares of the former land of the plant. Likhachev (ZIL). It is not far from the center of Moscow: the distance to the Third Transport Ring is less than a kilometer, to the Kremlin - about 5 km. By metro to the very center ("Teatralnaya") - three stops, you can get there in ten minutes. In the ZILART area, it is planned to build three automobile and two pedestrian bridges across the Moskva River, which will provide an exit from the new building to Andropova Avenue and Varshavskoe Shosse. In total, 30 km of new highways will be laid along the former territory of ZIL, including a backup of the Varshavskoye Highway, a highway along the MCC and the continuation of Simonovskaya Embankment to Andropov Avenue. In "ZILART" a multifaceted infrastructure of a modern mini-city is being created. An educational center for 2500 places has already been built here - a four-storey children's technopark "Quantorium", divided into thematic blocks. It contains lecture halls, gyms, a linguistic study, dining rooms and a large auditorium with a stage. The Hermitage-Moscow Museum is being built next to the school, designed by the architect Hani Rashid. It is also planned to open puppet and drama theaters, art centers and art galleries here. In addition to the "Quantorium" center, a comprehensive school for 825 students will be built, as well as 9 municipal and private kindergartens. The project includes a clinic, a medical center, a shopping complex, a hotel and various infrastructure facilities on the ground floors of residential buildings. Shopping galleries and cafes will be opened along the central pedestrian boulevard of Brothers Vesnin, which will stretch over 1.2 hectares. There will also be squares with fountains and recreation areas. One of the most ambitious projects of the complex is a landscaped embankment with walking alleys, rollerblading and bicycle paths, and places to rest by the water. It will stretch for a kilometer and will be very wide: up to 90 m from the water's edge to the facades of residential buildings. The entire former territory of the plant is divided into nine functional parts, including a sports cluster, a business zone and a technopark, where the production of cars is planned. Residents of the "ZILART" complex will be able to walk to the Ice Palace, the Synchronized Swimming Center or the "Torpedo" sports complex. The Tyufeleva Roshcha park, where 4000 trees and shrubs - pines, oaks, lindens, junipers, and larch trees - are laid out in the neighborhood of ZILART, according to the project of the landscape designer Jerry Van Eyck. There is a pond and sports grounds with fields for games, fitness equipment and turnstiles. The area of the park is 10 hectares. The residential complex "ZILART" is divided into five functional zones: residential (about 1.5 million sq. M.), Commercial (objects along the main boulevard and on all first floors of houses), recreational (landscaped embankment of the Moskva River with an area of about 20 hectares), park (10 hectares of green space) and educational. The height of residential buildings is from 3 to 40 floors, there are parking lots on the underground levels. The buildings of the first stage were designed by foreign and Russian architects from the SPEECH bureau, Tsimailo Lyashenko & Partners, Gerasimov & Partners, Mezonproekt, Asyptotearchitecture and others. Buyers of apartments are offered a choice of dozens of layouts - from 24-meter studios to multi-room apartments over 200 sq. meters. Cozy courtyards are freed from cars and are landscaped for relaxation, games, sports activities and walks.
