Overview
TRC Schelkovsky (Russian: ТРЦ «Щёлковский») is a shopping and entertainment centre in Moscow, Russia. It is part of a larger mixed-use complex built within the Shchyolkovsky transport hub (TPU), and the centre presents itself as the first shopping and entertainment centre of the city of Moscow to be integrated into a transport hub. The complex is described by its operator as a modern, technology-driven facility with a broad range of services and developed infrastructure. The mixed-use complex has a total area of 150,000 square metres, of which the retail area accounts for 60,000 square metres. The building's design was developed by the international architecture firm Global Architecture Development. Its semi-transparent facade with wave-like geometry is clad in ribbed aluminium panels, giving the structure the appearance of a "house-ship" of glass and metal. The building stands 35 metres tall and has a total glazed area of 7,800 square metres. Construction of the mixed-use complex took three years and employed modern building technologies, including the "UP-DOWN" semi-closed construction method, which allows work to proceed simultaneously upwards and downwards, and the "wall in the ground" technique, which made it possible to build reinforced-concrete walls of the underground structures before the excavation stage. The facade features a unique 9-metre golden clock with an original pattern and red hands; clocks of the same diameter were previously installed on the building of Moscow State University in 1953, though the minute hand of the Shchyolkovsky clock is more than one metre longer than that of the MSU chimes. Another distinguishing feature is an architectural and artistic lighting system implemented with special light tubes, covering a lit facade area of 5,000 square metres. The interior of the centre is equipped with various digital formats, including unique media panels in the lifts. As a retail destination, TRC Schelkovsky hosts a mix of fashion, footwear, children's goods, electronics, toys and services. Its tenant and brand roster, as promoted on its own website, includes HENDERSON, balabala, Detsky Mir, COLIN'S, Mir Kubikov, U.S. POLO ASSN., Leonardo, and restore, alongside anchor-style facilities such as the Perekrestok supermarket, the Kino Okko cinema and the World Class fitness club. The centre also runs seasonal promotions, sales and events, and maintains a fashion blog and an events programme (afisha) for visitors. Beyond shopping, the centre offers a wide range of services: travel services, household services, a car wash, parking, a cloakroom, photo and copying services, dry cleaning, beauty salons, ATMs and banking services, pharmacies, a mother-and-child room, mobile phone salons, an MFC "Moi Dokumenty" government services point, a pick-up point, a development centre, and real estate and equipment services. Opening hours are 10:00–22:00 Monday to Thursday and Sunday, and 10:00–23:00 Friday and Saturday, with individual tenants such as Perekrestok, Kino Okko and World Class keeping their own schedules. The centre is located in Moscow and is associated with the Shchyolkovsky transport hub. Ownership and corporate structure are not detailed in the available official materials, and no founding year is stated in the supplied evidence.
History
TRC Schelkovsky (ТРЦ «Щёлковский») is a shopping and entertainment centre in Moscow that forms part of a larger mixed-use complex within the Shchyolkovsky transport hub (TPU). The centre presents itself as the first shopping and entertainment centre of the city of Moscow to be integrated into a transport hub. The mixed-use complex has a total area of 150,000 square metres, with the retail portion accounting for 60,000 square metres. The design of the building was developed by the international architecture firm Global Architecture Development. Its semi-transparent facade has a wave-like geometry and is clad in ribbed aluminium panels, giving the complex the appearance of a "house-ship" made of glass and metal. The building is 35 metres tall, and its total glazed area is 7,800 square metres. Construction of the mixed-use complex lasted three years and used modern construction technologies. One of these was the "UP-DOWN" semi-closed construction method, whose advantage is that it allows construction to proceed simultaneously upwards and downwards. The "wall in the ground" technology was also used, making it possible to erect reinforced-concrete walls of the underground structures before the excavation stage. The facade is decorated with a unique 9-metre golden clock with an original pattern and red hands. Clocks of the same diameter had previously been installed in 1953 on the building of Moscow State University (MGU); however, the minute hand of the Shchyolkovsky clock is more than one metre longer than that of the MGU chimes. Another distinguishing feature of the structure is a system of architectural and artistic lighting implemented with special light tubes; the lit facade area is 5,000 square metres. The interior space of the centre is equipped with various digital formats, including unique media panels in the lifts. As a retail and leisure destination, the centre hosts a mix of international and Russian brands and facilities. Its own website promotes promotions and news from tenants such as HENDERSON, balabala, Detsky Mir, COLIN'S, Mir Kubikov, U.S. POLO ASSN., Leonardo and restore, and lists anchor facilities including the Perekrestok supermarket, the Kino Okko cinema and the World Class fitness club, each with its own opening hours. The centre also maintains a fashion blog and an events programme (afisha), and runs seasonal campaigns such as a denim week at HENDERSON, a cascade of discounts at balabala, a denim festival at COLIN'S, and discounts at U.S. POLO ASSN. The centre offers a broad range of visitor services, including travel services, household services, a car wash, parking, a cloakroom, photo and copying services, dry cleaning, beauty salons, ATMs and banking services, pharmacies, a mother-and-child room, mobile phone salons, an MFC "Moi Dokumenty" government services point, a pick-up point, a development centre, and real estate and equipment services. General opening hours are 10:00–22:00 Monday to Thursday and Sunday, and 10:00–23:00 Friday and Saturday, without days off. The available official materials do not state a founding year, ownership structure or corporate parent for the centre. The centre is located in Moscow and is associated with the Shchyolkovsky transport hub.
