Fri, 18 Mar 2011 18:06:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/news/?id=209 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=339 The decision to relocate Okhta Center to Lakhta taken in March has intensified a discussion on the fate of Okhta area which was earlier designated for the project implementation.

The site is located in Primorsky district of Saint Petersburg, on the outskirts of the city between the Gulf of Finland and Primorskoye highway at the address: 2 Lakhtinsky avenue, Block 3, lit. A.

Fri, 11 Mar 2011 11:02:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/news/?id=206 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=333 After at the end of last year the authorities of Saint Petersburg had ceased at last the discussion between the opponents and proponents of the construction of Okhta Center by having taken a decision not to build a skyscraper on Okhta promontory, a new discussion opened up in the city, what should be done with the archeological findings discovered in the course of the excavations carried out on the bottom of an excavation pit of Gazprom-owned project. Mon, 28 Feb 2011 19:30:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=333 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=327 On 15th February in the House of Architect a round table meeting was conducted titled Archeological Findings on Okhta Promontory and the Problems of the Preservation and Museumification of the Archeological Items Found. Thu, 17 Feb 2011 18:21:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=327 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=317 Gazprom neft is not the only large tax payer which Petersburg can lose by having rejected the construction of a public and business area Okhta Center. The demonstration by the city of such business unreliability has given rise to a chain reaction. A lot of investment projects were cancelled. Large developers are among might-have-been investors. Mon, 31 Jan 2011 12:56:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=317 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=313 The fight between Petersburg and Leningrad Region for the allocation of Gazprom offices has transformed into a new stage. The Smolny has criticized the sites proposed by Leningrad Region. Wed, 26 Jan 2011 17:17:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=313 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=312 The site where the public and business center Okhta was to have been built is officially offered for sale. A laconic inscription FOR SALE and a Moscow phone number for potential buyers appeared on the construction site barrier. The experts assume that this phone line will not be busy in the nearest future. Mon, 24 Jan 2011 09:51:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=312 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=311 As assessed by the specialists, a landscape park museum at the site of the cancelled Okhta Center which former opponents of the project demand to lay out, can cost over 30 million dollars. Who can finance such works is unclear at the moment, there is no money for that in the city’s budget. However experts assume that this discussion is at least premature. Thu, 20 Jan 2011 18:19:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=311 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=304 On 14th January Governor of Petersburg met with Gazprom Top Manager Alexey Miller. The parties discussed the possibility to implement the Okhta Center project at alternative sites. The lobbies claim that the relationships between Petersburg and Gazprom after a scandal related to the cancellation of the decree of the government on the construction of a skyscraper on Okhta have melted down for the first time. Tue, 18 Jan 2011 15:29:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=304 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=303 17th January in an interview to Izvestia Head of Conservative Archeology Group of the Institute of the History of Material Culture of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Head of Expedition on Okhta promontory in Saint Petersburg, Natalia Solovieva said that no museum was ready to accept all the findings detected by the expedition group who worked upon the request of the developer Okhta Center. Tue, 18 Jan 2011 14:26:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=303 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=301 On Friday Governor of Petersburg Valentina Matvienko met with Chairman of Gazprom Management Committee Alexey Miller. Mon, 17 Jan 2011 17:05:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=301 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=318 After the news about the relocation of the construction of Okhta Center from the right bank of the river had broken, the disputes on the height of the glass tower naturally stopped. However the archeological excavations financed by the investor of the construction came to the fore. Fri, 14 Jan 2011 14:49:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=318 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=300 Chairman of Gazprom Management Committee Alexey Miller gave an exclusive interview for Fontanka.ru, where he assessed the sites proposed by Leningrad Oblast where the business center of Gazprom Neft can be built as well as commented on the possibility of the building being built in Petersburg anyway. Tue, 11 Jan 2011 13:56:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=300 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=302 The decision on the cancellation of the construction of a high-rise building on Okhta did not bring about public consent. Those who supported the construction of the Okhta Center have not changed their viewpoint. Tue, 14 Dec 2010 14:06:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=302 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=308 The decision on the cancellation of the construction of a high-rise building on Okhta did not bring about public consent. Those who supported the construction of the Okhta Center have not changed their viewpoint. Tue, 14 Dec 2010 12:26:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=308 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=288 The main argument given by the opponents is that we are accustomed to the city of a certain height and any elevation is in conflict with these traditions. Wed, 08 Dec 2010 10:00:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=288 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=287 At the project preparatory stage I studied it in quite a detailed manner and I am convinced that such a project is useful and needed. It is important for the city to have such mega structure as Gazprom investing money in the city’s budget. Mon, 06 Dec 2010 10:00:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=287 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=286 I assume that the city is in need of Okhta Center. It will not only add a new appearance to Petersburg, it will also draw large financial investments to the city’s economy. Fri, 03 Dec 2010 10:00:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=286 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=285 I was born in Petersburg, I stayed here during the Siege and I can not but consider myself a patriot of the city. Nevertheless to be proud of what was created in the 19th century and deny everything new seems to me slightly tenuous and even light hearted. Mon, 29 Nov 2010 10:00:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=285 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=284 I think that it is quite an attractive project for Saint Petersburg from the point of view of infrastructure and socialization. The project implies plenty of public facilities for the citizens of the city. Furthermore this complex will be a tourist draw as well. Fri, 26 Nov 2010 10:00:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=284 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=278 The construction of Okhta Center will have been started by summer 2011, said Executive Director of Social and Business Center Okhta CJSC Alexander Bobkov at a press conference regarding the transport problems in Krasnogvardeysky district. Mon, 22 Nov 2010 11:57:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=278 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=268 This project has so long been spoken about that it is difficult to imagine our city without this tower. Mon, 22 Nov 2010 10:00:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=268 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=267 I do not understand at all what this hustle and bustle is about. Modern buildings can be built at the location of an ugly district. Not on Dvortsovaya Square, not on Nevsky avenue, at the location of a depreciated district instead. I have been there. Thu, 18 Nov 2010 10:00:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=267 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/news/?id=204 Yesterday public hearings were held on the project of the sports complex as part of the Public and Business Area Okhta Center at the section restricted by Alexander Ulianov street, Metallistov street, Shepetovskaya street and a park. Tue, 16 Nov 2010 13:15:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/news/?id=204 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=266 Okhta Center is a very attractive building. Mon, 15 Nov 2010 10:00:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=266 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=265 I am a native Petersburg citizen and it is very important for me that the city is developing. I am strongly against the construction of anything in the historic center of the city and Okhta Center tower will be located not in the center. Fri, 12 Nov 2010 11:35:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=265 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=264 In my opinion our children must see something from the 21st century. This unique tower is 21st century.

Mon, 01 Nov 2010 16:02:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=272 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=271 Once again the city’s court of Saint Petersburg rejected the appeal of the opponents of Okhta Center project and ruled that the decree of the government of Petersburg regarding the height parameters of the construction on Okhta had been taken on a legal basis. Mon, 01 Nov 2010 15:16:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=271 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=244 On the one hand, I would not like Petersburg to have the fate of Moscow or London since it is a pearl of architecture, a distinct area of outstanding beauty. Tue, 26 Oct 2010 10:00:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=244 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=270 The Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation rejected to accept for consideration two more complaints regarding the construction of Okhta Public and Business Center on the banks of the river Neva. Fri, 22 Oct 2010 15:14:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=270 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=243 Go up the piazza of the St. Isaac’s Cathedral and have a look how many ugly and tall chimneys there are in the city. I assume if we do tackle what has really damaged the city, then it will be plants and factories of the Soviet epoch Thu, 21 Oct 2010 10:00:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=243 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=269 According to a newsperson of REGNUM News, today on Oct. 18 at a press conference in Smolny Governor of Saint Petersburg Valentina Matviyenko said that the government of Saint Petersburg was acting in a lawful manner concerning all the issues related to Okhta Center Project. Mon, 18 Oct 2010 15:13:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/articles/?id=269 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=242 That is the way human beings are that if it had been decided to construct these 400m not upwards but alongside, then opponents would also have been appeared arguing that in our city there it is impossible to construct something so long. Mon, 18 Oct 2010 10:00:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=242 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=241 I got interested in the issue of a traffic interchange. It will be a good stimulus to the creation of a strategic plan of the development of the infrastructure in the entire city. The need has long excavated. Thu, 14 Oct 2010 10:00:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=241 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/news/?id=201 Social and Business Center Okhta CJSC completed a scheduled stage of statute approvals under the project. Mon, 11 Oct 2010 12:10:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/news/?id=201 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=240 As far as I remember Okhta Center Project has passed several stages. When the project was declared for the first time it was received with high interest and many people wondered which kind of the project it would be. Mon, 11 Oct 2010 10:00:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=240 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=239 I was happy to know that the infrastructure of the district is changing, the square is becoming more beautiful and convenient. And the disputes whether to build Okhta Center or not are natural. Thu, 07 Oct 2010 10:00:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=239 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=238 I believe that Okhta Center is a project which is required by Petersburg. It will provide not only new jobs but a new life to our city as well. It is not good when a city is just a museum city. It must live and develop. Tue, 05 Oct 2010 10:00:00 GMT http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=238 http://www.ohta-center.ru/en/comments/?id=228 I am strongly convinced that if the question regarding the construction of a complex such as Okhta Center were raised to the authorities of London, Paris and other large European cities, their opinion in favor of Gazprom allocating its headquarters there.
