What types of zoning analyses do you offer for a commercial project?
We carry out comprehensive zoning studies that include checking local regulations, identifying land use restrictions, and assessing mixed-use development potential. For example, for a 12-hectare logistics park, we analyzed two urban planning options and negotiated a solution with the authorities that allows for both warehouses and office spaces.
How do you approach integrating a business hub into the public transport network?
We start with a traffic study that measures peak-hour flows and identifies pedestrian access points. Then we propose concrete measures: dedicated bus lanes, additional metro stations, or connecting electric minibuses. In the project for the North Business Center, we reduced the carbon footprint by 25% by prioritizing public transport and bicycle lanes.
Do you collaborate directly with architecture firms during the design phase?
Yes, we work together with architectural teams from the concept stage. We provide data on regulations, traffic simulations, and recommendations for optimizing commercial spaces. In the case of the revitalization of a historic central area, we coordinated a multidisciplinary group that preserved the original facades and added a pedestrian inner courtyard, attracting three anchor tenants in the first six months.
What does a traffic study for a new business area include?
The study covers current traffic measurements, simulations for the development scenario, and infrastructure recommendations: roundabouts, dedicated lanes, parking, and bicycle lanes. For example, for the East Logistics Park, we proposed a roundabout and separate lanes for trucks, so that commercial flow would not affect nearby residential traffic.
Do you also offer consulting for urban revitalization projects?
Yes, we have experience in redeveloping old commercial districts. We analyze the conversion potential, identify suitable tenants, and propose solutions that preserve the architectural character but meet modern requirements. In the central area revitalization project, we optimized vehicle access through a partnership with an underground parking operator and integrated pedestrian green spaces.
How long does a zoning and logistics integration study usually take?
The timeline depends on the complexity of the land and the number of parties involved. For a standard 5–10 hectare project, the study takes between 4 and 8 weeks, including document analysis, meetings with authorities, and traffic simulations. In more complex cases, such as the East Logistics Park, we worked for 3 months to complete all stages and obtain the necessary approvals.
