Our development is based on a holistic approach that recognises the importance of Samara’s cultural heritage, built environment, and unique natural diversity. Our experience encourages us to move towards innovation and sustainability, which have always distinguished our development strategies for urban regeneration. We create lively places for a sharing society. Our vision is to interpret the local characteristics and let them drive the configuration of the master plan. We recognise how the confluence of the Volga and Samara rivers generated the urban pattern of Samara and its historical city centre and we want to reconnect the historical centre with the surrounding green.
The development area, which is located between the built environment and the green hinterland, forms the hinge where nature and manmade intertwine. This innovative approach reintroduces nature into the Green City of Samara and contributes to its attractiveness.
