The winning proposal converts 1,000 hectares of land near Domodedovo airport, 30km south of Moscow, into a cultural legacy park forwarding the country’s history while simultaneously showing the three prime axes of the park. It provides opportunities for investment in leisure projects and transforms this oasis into a ‘strong tourism resort destination’ for residential guests.

Additionally the project leader Richard Tibbott, from Cushman & Wakefield Russia insists that ‘a uniquely Russian leisure park responding to Russian consumer desires for imaginative leisure and cultural development and creating a major new destination for the rapidly growing Russian visitor economy’. It will, he adds, ‘be a credible comparator to Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay and eventually to the parks at Orlando, Florida’.
