The city is considering a major development project covering 470 hectares around the ZiL automobile factory.
The Third Transportation Ring, Prospekt Andropova and the Moscow River border the property, which has been tentatively labeled ZiL Peninsula.
The project, which would be completed by 2025, would include 2.1 million square meters of offices, shopping, sports facilities, medical establishments and educational institutions, about 1.5 million square meters of living space and 858,600 square meters of manufacturing space.
It's a unique project for the city, said the administration's construction chief, Marat Khusnullin.
"Everything we are struggling to accomplish at the citywide level will be solved in one project," he said.
Officials estimate that the project will require 152 billion rubles in finanincing, no more than 43 billion rubles of which would come from the city via infrastructure contributions. Tenders will be conducted for investors in individual parts of the project.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
