Tashir builds a new shopping and office center in Kaluga

The technical opening of a business center, which is part of SK Plaza, a modern shopping and office complex in Kaluga, took place on Nov. 2. Tashir Group invested a total of 1 billion rubles in the project.

The new multipurpose complex is located at the very heart of Kaluga, at 2 Kirova Street. The shopping and office center is a seven-story building with an underground garage for 30 cars. SK Plaza consists of retail and office spaces. The gross leasable area (GLA) is about 100,000 square meters.

This is not Tashir’s first office project in Kaluga. The city already has three business centers with a combined area of 20,000 square meters.

“Kaluga is one of Russia’s wealthiest provinces, and business has always been going well in its capital. Demand for premium-class offices remains pretty high. The new business center will meet the need for high-quality office spaces,” said Tashir Group Vice President Sergei Badmayev.

When shopping spaces at the center open, the city will receive a new restaurant area of 1,500 square meters, featuring Gastroport, Kaluga’s first first food hall. It will bring together various ethnic gastronomy traditions. Gastroport is Tashir’s own retail chain project. The first Gastroport opened earlier in the very center of Sochi.

“We are not just building an office center. We are creating comprehensive infrastructure for business. We are creating jobs, which is particularly important under current economic circumstances. We expect Kaluga to get about 400 new jobs as a result of this project,” Sergei Badmayev added.

This is not Tashir’s first commercial project in Kaluga. Tashir has been doing business in various sectors of the province’s economy for over 20 years now. In addition to business centers, Tashir has two hotels in the city and two shopping malls – RIO and Kaluga XXI.

Due to the current epidemiological situation, the opening of the shopping center at SK Plaza has been postponed until later this year.
