A 140,000sq.m complex is planned for the intersection of Nezavisimosti Avenue and Filimonov Street, comprising Gazprom offices, a congress hall, a medical centre, a sports and recreation centre and a childrenґs development centre, with accompanying trade and service outlets for Minsk residents and guests.
Five of the world’s best architectural companies have been shortlisted for the second phase of the tender, with applicants encouraged to reflect Minsk’s history and current architecture in their designs. They recently met representatives from Gazprom and Beltransgas in Minsk, to discuss the requirements of the project.
The winner of the second phase will be announced this March, going on to design the Gazprom complex.
