The location where the new complex will be built, although not a part of St. Petersburg’s center, is a rather interesting place from the architectural standpoint. The site is situated in between the Finland-bound railroad line and the Lesnoy Avenue, in the former location of the depot of the horse-drawn railway, from which, by the time the construction started only a modest three-story employee building survived. In the dead end of the Neishlotsky Alley, there is a lodging house and a wing of the “model milk complex”, owned back in the day by Julius Benoit – probably, they processed milk from the farm here, which was recently restored. This house is almost completely devoid of any decor – but it stands out with two rows of original-looking mansards. From the other side, the complex borders on the buildings constructed at the commission of Emmanuel Nobel, who was the CEO of the “Russian Diesel” plant, whose buildings are also to be seen nearby, at the other end of the Neishlotsky Alley. This is a mansion, a “people’s house” with a library, and a whole “little town” for the factory workers, designed by Victor Shreter, Roman Meltser, and Fedor Lidval. From yet another side, the site opens to a small park and the Sampsonievsky Garden.
