Crocus City Mall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Crocus City Mall is a shopping mall located in the southern Moscow district of Krasnogorsk, Moscow Oblast.

Development

Developed by Aras Agalarov's Crocus International, the site is located near the Moscow Oblast Administrative HQ, just outside Moscow's MKAD ring road. Built of natural stone in a mixture between neo-classical and oriental architectural styles, the two-storey building opened in 2002.^[1]

Transport

The group paid for the Moscow Metro railway station at Myakinino to be additionally planned and built on the extension of the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Line, located between Volokolamskaya and Strogino stations. Added as a single-platform ground-based station, it was built as a two-platform underground development, thanks to Crocus's funding input. Myakinino opened on 26 December 2009, the first station to be built outside Moscow.

Present

Today it houses retailers, including:

Clothing: Agent Provocateur, Aquascutum, Armani, Calvin Klein, JLO by Jennifer Lopez, Philipp Plein, Vivienne Westwood
Children's wear: Steiff
Housewares: Royal Doulton
Accessories: Bally, Faberge, Land Rover, Wedgwood
