1. Regional Context
The territory located at Skladochnaya Street 1 is part of the historic industrial belt of the Butyrsky District (Northern Administrative Okrug). Originally, this land hosted the "Stankolit" Cast Iron Plant, a major Soviet industrial facility established in the 1930s.
Following the economic shifts of the 1990s, the plant ceased its primary operations. The large territory, equipped with railway access and robust infrastructure, became a prime target for commercial redevelopment.
2. Asset Consolidation (1998–2000)
The transformation of the site from a closed factory to an open business park began in the late 1990s. Private investors initiated the process of acquiring shares and property titles.
According to real estate records, the key figure in this consolidation was entrepreneur Mikhail Dvornikov (Mikhail Vladimirovich Dvornikov). Through his asset management structure, ZAO "CMD", the fragmented workshops were unified into a single legal entity.
3. Development and Exit (2007–2012)
Under the ownership of the Dvornikov family, the site underwent significant changes. It was repurposed into a multi-functional complex, hosting warehouses, offices, and the "Sunrise" electronics hypermarket.
Two major transactions defined the modern look of the area:
- 2007: A 5-hectare portion of the land was sold to MR Group. This plot later became the construction site for the "Savelovsky City" skyscraper cluster.
- 2012: The remaining assets (the Stankolit retail and business complex) were sold by the Dvornikov family to the Gvazava family (Edgar, Alyas, and Dima Gvazava).
This sequence of deals marked the complete exit of Mikhail Dvornikov from the project, paving the way for the current gentrification of the district.
