New standard of urban environment

Alexey Miller
Chairman of Management Committee, PJSC «Gazprom»

«Gazprom centre» will give a more dynamic and modern look to the capital of Belarus. It will become a natural fit for Minsk architecture and a convenient business hub. The complex will boast all kinds of amenities for rest and leisure - time activities. I am sure that it will become a favourite part of the city for both city residents and travellers».

Site plan

Multifunctional development «Gazprom center» is located in the north – east of Minsk (Pervomaiski district) at the crossroads of Nezavisimosti Ave. and Filimonova Str.

The site (8,27ha) will accommodate the «Gazprom Group» HQ in Belarus, administrative and office buildings, a hotel with a conference hall, sports center, education and child development center, medical center, retail area, amphitheatre, recreational area for city residents, ground-level and underground parking.

The complex is noted for its outstanding transport accessibility: the site is 2,6 km away from the Minsk ring road and 5,8 km from the city center (Oktyabrskaya square). Сlose proximity to the National library, one of the city’s major tourist destinations, gives the site an upscale status.

Technologies

  • Building Management System
    Building Management System is intended for automatization of processes and functions used in modern buildings. The BMS is often used to describe a system that controls the equipment in the building: ventilation, heating, conditioning, lighting, power, etc.
  • Use of precipitation
    The use of precipitation includes water reclaim and the use of grey and black waters. The former coming from sinks, the latter - from WCs and the kitchen. After reclamation grey waters will be used a second time, for example for green space irrigation and service use. Atmospheric precipitation will be collected, filtered and used for other systems, e.g. for firefighting.
  • Highly-transparent glass facades
    Clear and highly transparent glass will be used for facade glazing. Glass units comply with thermal resistance and transparency requirements. Application of exterior coating will be performed using nano-technology, which will ensure a longer life cycle for the units, reduce the risk of thermal shock, the number of washing cycles and will improve facade performance.
  • In-house trigeneration unit
    Power plant engineering diagram was designed for a trigeneration system. The power plant includes a cogeneration unit, which provides heat and power, and an absorption refrigerator which drives the cooling process, using heat energy and a small amount of electrical power.
  • Media facades with dynamic lights
    A built-in display of arbitrary size and shape will fit the architectural look of the building and will be used to demonstrate diagrams, graphics and videos. The display on the media facade is made of LED modules of different shapes and sizes.
  • Engineering Structures Monitoring System

    The engineering structures monitoring system is intended to:

    • monitor load-carrying structures to ensure timely detection of stress strain
    • contribute to the decision-making process regarding the technical condition of the structural elements subject to stress and strain
    • improve the safety of the facility by means of timely detection of stress and strain in the structures, which may compromise their efficiency or result in emergency conditions
    • monitor the extent of stress strain in the structures and, if required, to take emergency measures to prevent the collapse of the building
  • BREEAM Compliance
    BREEAM is an international standard of environmental certification of real estate property. It aims to minimize the adverse effects of new developments on the environment locally and globally, to promote a healthy lifestyle and working conditions for its employees. Certification is administered by BRE Global.

About project

The construction of «Gazprom center» is a large project implemented in line with the Decree of the President of Belarus № 153 dated 04.04.2013 and investment agreement № 174 dated 02.05.2013

The project was initiated and funded by «Gazprom transgaz Belarus».

The architectural concept was designed by the London office of NBBJ Ltd., one of the 10 most innovative international architectural companies established in 1943. The NBBJ architects contributed to the project the most advanced city-planning and technological concepts, fully compliant with the concept «Minsk silhouette» and the town-planning documentation developed by «Minskgrado» experts.

The complex will be dominated by a high-rise building (189 m) - the highest building in Minsk. The HQ Tower will be surrounded by 8 other building of different height. In line with the concept, the outline and the colour scheme of the buildings will be reminiscent of a gas flare - the symbol of «Gazprom Group».

The architectural solutions and the use of city space make «Gazprom center» a unique and innovative development.

«Gazprom center» sets new standards for the city business environment. It is a small hub with modern technologies in construction, services and communication.

«Gazprom center» offers a prestigious environment, comfortable working conditions, leisure and family activities. Business people will benefit from the proximity of prestigious brands and will enjoy the healthcare services of the medical center (using the latest advances in science, diagnostics and plastic surgery), will have an opportunity to visit the sports center, to improve their health and the health of their family members.

While you are working, talking to your friends in the panorama restaurant or walking down the retail streets, the staff of the child development center will be playing games with your children and helping them to communicate with peers.


«Gazprom center» is all about:

  • New quality of life and services
  • Prestige and high status
  • Popular international brands
  • Top service standards
  • Convenient state-of-the-art «class A» buildings
  • «Green» technologies
