Okhotny Ryad

Okhotny Ryad (ТЦ «Охотный ряд») is a shopping centre in Moscow. Its construction began in 1993 and the main construction and installation works were completed in summer 1997, allowing it to open for Moscow's 850th anniversary. The site for the shopping centre was chosen by the Moscow Government, which expected a large shopping centre to attract tourists. The first construction project was developed by Boris Ulkin, who proposed a 7-level complex going as deep as 38 metres underground; the project was later transferred to Mosproekt-2 led by architect Mikhail Posokhin, who brought in Zurab Tsereteli as designer. In 1997 the shopping centre became a laureate of the international MIPIM AWARDS competition. The centre hosts a wide range of tenants across categories such as women's clothing, men's clothing, cafes and restaurants, footwear and bags, beauty and health, lingerie, sports and leisure, gifts and souvenirs, jewellery, watches and optics, electronics, mobile communications, services and groceries, and it operates a round-the-clock underground guarded parking lot.

The site for the Okhotny Ryad shopping centre was chosen by the Moscow Government, which planned that a large shopping centre would attract tourists. The first construction project was developed by Boris Ulkin, who proposed a 7-level complex going as deep as 38 metres underground; on 120 thousand m² Ulkin wanted to place an architectural museum, a historical theatre, a children's play centre, an art salon, a cinema and video hall, restaurants, shops, banks and offices, and on the two lower levels of the complex a 450-car parking was envisaged. During implementation it became clear that to speed up payback it was necessary to abandon the original idea of creating a public and cultural centre. Ulkin did not compromise and did not make changes, so the project was transferred to Mosproekt-2 led by architect Mikhail Posokhin, who brought in Zurab Tsereteli as designer. The design project of the shopping centre became one of the first large-scale works of the famous sculptor. Construction of the Okhotny Ryad shopping centre began in 1993, and the main construction and installation works were completed in summer 1997, which allowed it to open for Moscow's 850th anniversary. In 1997 the Okhotny Ryad shopping centre became a laureate of the international MIPIM AWARDS competition. Mosproekt-2 abandoned deepening the complex, reducing the number of underground levels to 3, with one more rising above ground level. The raised part of Okhotny Ryad was resolved as a system of terrace squares connected by staircases and balustrades, and its facades were stylised after the arcades of traditional Russian trading rows. Below ground level 3 galleries with a total area of about 63000 m² were organised, cut through by 2 atriums.
