Residential complex Meltzer Hall (“House on the embankment of the Karpovka River”). Residential complex Meltzer Hall (residential complex "Meltzer Hall") on Karpovka Add to favorites Meltzer Hall
The Meltzer Hall residential complex is a project of the Bonava company (formerly NCC Real Estate), which is planned to be built in the Petrogradsky district on the embankment of the Karpovka River. The development site is located 500 meters from the Petrogradskaya metro station. It is planned to build a 7-storey business-class building with 165 apartments here.
Initially, the construction permit for the Meltzer Hall residential complex was issued until the end of 2017, and was later extended until October 2019. As of September 2016, the company had not started construction. According to information from representatives of the developer, the Swedish concern is looking for a co-investor who would have experience in implementing projects in the elite business segment. Negotiations with potential partners are ongoing, but their names have not been disclosed.
It should be noted that in addition to the construction of a residential complex, Bonava must build an underground parking lot and two preschool educational institutions as part of the project. In addition, restoration and adaptation of cultural heritage sites for modern use will be required. In particular, this applies to Korlyakov’s house, the factory’s production building, the chimney and the Grand Palace cinema building.
Bonava company abandoned the project. The project is frozen.
On the embankment of the Karpovka River, the Bonava company will build a residential complex "Meltzer House". The site occupies 0.75 hectares and is located between Kamenoostrovsky Prospekt and Professor Popov Street. Previously, the furniture factory "F. Meltzer" was located here, later the furniture factory "Intourist". In 1998, the furniture history of the site ended and the plant moved to another location.
Permission to build an elite house on Karpovka, 27 A was received in April 2016. So far there is little information about the house on the Bonava website.
About the house
The architectural design of the 8-story building was developed in the Studio 44 workshop. The building is designed to be 16 thousand square meters. m. residential and 3 thousand “squares” of commercial space. Buyers will be able to choose apartments with a number of rooms from one to five. The complex will have two built-in family-type kindergartens.
Two underground levels are occupied by parking. It will be able to accommodate 204 cars. There are storage rooms for storing seasonal and large items. The sections will be served by elevators with a lifting capacity of 1000 kg.
Location
Residential complex "Meltzer House" is located in the Petrogradsky district. Nearby are cinemas, museums and business centers. Educational facilities include three gymnasiums and four kindergartens. The environmental condition is good. The Botanical Garden is a 10-minute walk away, Shevchenko Square is nearby. The parks on Krestovsky Island are a 20-minute walk away.
Transport accessibility is provided by the embankment of the Karpovka River and Kamenoostrovsky Avenue. Medikov Avenue runs nearby, providing access to the Kantemirovsky Bridge.
The project is very interesting. For a long time he was registered with the Bonava company. Although some questions arose here. After all, the developer specializes mainly in “comfort-plus” and “business” class houses; as for the “premium class”, this was a new segment for the company, a new challenge. That's probably why Meltzer Hall I still couldn’t get to the start line. In one of last year’s interviews, company representatives explained that they were approaching this project carefully and were looking for a partner with experience in the construction of luxury residential complexes, so that everything would be completed at the highest level. The approach, it must be said, is very responsible, but this is understandable: the company has proven itself from the best side since its work on the market under the NCC brand. Apparently, such careful preparation for the implementation of the Meltzer Hall project explained last year’s delay in the start of construction.
However, 2017 brought new news. This residential complex did not appear among the current projects on the official website of the developer. And the media reported that Bonava is ready to abandon the construction of this residential complex and is looking for a company that will buy the rights to implement this project. The official reason for refusing to build an elite house is the desire to focus on projects in more mainstream real estate segments (in particular, in the comfort class). That is, “Bonava” intends to continue doing what it has been successfully doing in St. Petersburg in recent years.
In mid-May, representatives of the developer company informed our portal that Bonava was actively seeking and considering proposals for the purchase of the Meltzer Hall residential complex project by other developers. Reason: the luxury segment to which this residential complex belongs has been excluded from Bonava's portfolio throughout Northern Europe. Thus, now all that remains is to wait for the message about which of the developers will ultimately undertake the implementation of this project.
For now, that's all we know. Potential buyers interested in apartments in this building can only wait. The location is good, the project is ready, a building permit has been received. Therefore, someone will definitely build here. We hope that there will be more news before the end of 2017.
As for the neighboring new buildings, the only thing nearby is the famous long-term construction from -. It makes no sense to consider it. The closest alternative in the premium segment is
its from . It has already been commissioned, the apartments in it are still for sale. Cheaper apartments can be bought in relatively nearby residential complexes under construction (this is another project of the Bonava company) and from ("A").
Update date August 05, 2013
Company reputation Bonava on the St. Petersburg market is very high. The residential complexes that the company has already put into operation were built with high quality and without violating deadlines. This gives us hope for the successful implementation of the project on the Karpovka embankment. Bonava adheres to European quality standards, focuses on environmental friendliness in construction, and specializes in comfort and business class houses.
Project residential complex on Karpovka very interesting in architectural terms, which is important considering the place where it will be implemented. Still, the corner of Kamennoostrovsky Prospekt and Karpovka is a very attractive place.
The initial stage of the project was accompanied by a certain stir in the press. The fact is that after work began on dismantling the existing buildings of the Furniture and Joinery Factory F.A. Meltzer, followed by protests from city defenders. According to them, the territory of the former Meltzer factory belongs to the development regulation zone of the first category, where it is impossible to demolish buildings and build new ones - only to recreate the lost pre-revolutionary ones. The developer, in turn, claims that buildings that were in disrepair and posed a danger to the life and health of people were demolished. Moreover, according to representatives Bonava, all demolition work was carried out in accordance with the instructions of the KGIOP.
Since this situation attracted public attention, the Petrograd District Prosecutor's Office began checking the legality of the demolition of buildings. Currently, as the company explained to us, Bonava, all issues related to the legality of the upcoming construction have been resolved positively.
Returning to the residential complex project, we note that the architects were faced with the difficult task of how to fit existing historical buildings into the new residential complex, which by law must be preserved (these old buildings do not represent anything unique in architectural terms, but, of course, they are valuable because they were built a long time ago). The complexity of the task consisted mainly in the fact that it is difficult to fit old houses into a new project and in any case they will not look completely organic.
Regarding the chosen project itself, carried out by Studio 44 of the Honored Architect of the Russian Federation Nikita Yavein, the opinions of interested citizens were divided. Some people like it for its unusualness, beveled facades. Others would prefer to see something more traditional in the St. Petersburg style on the Karpovka embankment (this, by the way, was more in line with one of the alternative projects that took part in the competition - from Studio-17 by Svyatoslav Gaikovich). During 2014, taking into account the recommendations made by the Architectural Council, additions and changes were made to the approved project of Studio 44. In particular, the color scheme of the facades has changed - from brown they became light beige.
It is not yet possible to name the exact time frame for the implementation of this project. The company does not advertise this information. As representatives assured us Bonava, if specific information appears in 2015 on the start of construction, it will be communicated to the media. The name of the residential complex and all other details will be known at the time of the official presentation of the project.
Objectively assessing the pros and cons of the location of the future residential complex, we will say that its surroundings, of course, are not as luxurious as in that part of Kamennoostrovsky, which is closer to the station. But the place is still prestigious.
The environmental disadvantages of being adjacent to a busy avenue are partly compensated by the proximity of the Karpovka River, the Botanical Garden and the parks of Kamenny Island. The social infrastructure here is well developed. In terms of transport, there are a lot of problems - traffic jams in this part of the Petrograd side are common. But you can walk to the metro.
There are a lot of new premium and business class buildings in Petrogradka. Among the current projects on sale are, etc.
In the quarter near the Karpovka River on Petrogradskaya, a historically established area of the Northern capital, there are more and more new buildings every year. On Kamennoostrovsky Prospekt, where it crosses Karpovka, another residential complex will appear - Meltzer Hall.
The Bonava company undertook its construction. So far construction has not started. It is possible that the project will be transferred to another developer.
The Meltzer Hall residential complex will be located on the territory of the former Meltzer furniture factory, which it will occupy in its entirety, leaving the historical building No. 27, the factory brick chimney and a two-story workshop building at the intersection of Kamennoostrovsky Prospekt and Karpovka embankment as the surroundings.
Now it is difficult to judge how a six-story building in the chaotic style - its window openings are located randomly, and the last two floors are made in the form of a truncated pyramid - will fit into the ensemble of historical buildings of Aptekarsky Island, which at the end of the 19th century was a dacha suburb of St. Petersburg.
However, the project provides for a detail characteristic of the architectural ensembles of the Northern capital - the front courtyard (court d'honneur), overlooking the Karpovka embankment.
The residential complex will consist of two houses and underground parking. Its first floors will be used for commercial premises. The social infrastructure of Aptekarsky Island is quite well developed. Near the construction site there are two kindergartens, gymnasiums, museums, restaurants, and a small theater “Osobnyak”.
In this area of the Petrograd side, the environmental situation is the most favorable. There are many gardens on Aptekarsky Island - Vyazemsky, Lopukhinsky, Botanical.
Transport accessibility of the place is difficult. All highways - Kamennoostrovsky Prospekt, Professor Popov Street, Karpovka embankment - are often overloaded. The Petrogradskaya metro station is about five hundred meters away.
