A grand and elegant fountain in the central square is the main element and highlight of the promenade. It is clad in Brazilian granite — slabs with fine, translucent grains in shades of white and cream, accented with garnet-colored specks. The fountain has a diameter of 7.7 meters, and the water jet reaches a height of up to 5 meters. In the evening, architectural lighting enhances the beautiful water pattern.
The landscaping includes trees and shrubs selected for varied seasonal changes and blooming palettes to ensure the promenade delights the eye all-year-round. The area surrounding the fountain is decorated with a symmetrical planting design, featuring Dodong rowan trees, mock orange and euonymus, complemented by spiraea and lush hydrangeas of several varieties.
Benches and flowerbeds are custom-made from architectural concrete. This space is perfect for comfortable walking with a stroller, reading a book in the shade, relaxing, or playing with children. Along the promenade, 12 oak trees imported from Germany have been planted — a tribute to the nearby Oak Grove Street and its namesake park with century-old trees. In this way, Dostizhenie and its promenade extend the history and infrastructure of the district.
The boulevard is not only a new green landmark on the map of Moscow but also a contributor to the city’s economy, creating new jobs. The promenade runs alongside the ground floor of the Dostizhenie House, which hosts a retail gallery of 31 premium retail spaces with a total area of 5,000 square meters, with aluminum-framed glazed doors set into stained-glass structures. Designated signage zones are provided to preserve the beauty of the facades.
Whether it’s dining at a restaurant, enjoying a cold drink on a café’s summer terrace, shopping at the supermarket, or visiting a beauty salon — these experiences are available not only to the residents of Dostizhenie but to anyone in Moscow. City parking is available alongside the gallery.
The pedestrian zone, intended for all city residents, is the outer landscaped area of the Dostizhenie House, which has become a new architectural landmark of the Ostankino district. The building is designed in a grand and graceful Art Deco style, which, like the Stalinist Empire architecture, is an offshoot of the Chicago school of architecture. The 250-meter-long facade is decorated with Montenegrin limestone, face brick, porcelain stoneware, and glass-fiber-reinforced concrete.
Custom-made decorative elements crafted from glass-fiber-reinforced concrete, glass composite, and metal are a key element of the architectural design of the house. Pointed arches, upward-reaching peaks, pinnacles, finials, large panoramic windows, curved facade elements, decorative elements of the balconies, and an oak branch motif ornament create the unique appearance of the Dostizhenie House and emphasize its status. One can admire the beauty of the house while sitting on a café terrace or relaxing on the promenade to the sound of flowing water.
