The apartment complex “Novodanilovskaya 8” is being built in the heart of a new business park on a bank of the Moskva River, which still 15 years ago was nothing but a derelict industrial zone, where the architects, who first came to survey the location had to fight off half-wild dogs. One of the first buildings that launched the process of reforming this place was Sergey Skuratov’s “Danilovsky Fort” – a red-brick building, massive and dramatic. The next thing that was brought back to life was Danilovskaya Manufaktura: the 12 buildings belonging to the textile factory built in the XIX century were renovated and turned into a loft business center for 6,500 workplaces. Then appeared the Danilov Plaza business center, designed by SPEECH; designed by the same company, DM Tower is being finished on the opposite side of the fort. And on the opposite bank of the river, there is yet another territory that is changing rapidly these days – ZILART housing complex. 

As for the land lying immediately beyond Danilovsky Fort, the city has long since been making numerous attempts to involve it this bustling flow of events: competitions were organized, architects changed, and height parameters were adjusted – until the land was bought out by SAMOLET GROUP, who invited ADM to design the project. Incidentally, this company is already quite familiar with the territory because its leaders, Andrey Romanov and Ekaterina Kuznetsova took an active part in creating Danilovsky Fort in 2005-2006, when they still worked for Sergey Skuratov.
