ADG group and the Meeting Place network of neighborhood centers have confirmed their market leadership, with several company projects and initiatives being shortlisted for the annual GRREAT award in the commercial real estate sector. Following the results of 2025, the neighborhood center network is represented in six key categories.
A Meeting Place Rodina neighborhood center has officially opened at 5 Izmailovsky Val, marking the 25th completed venue in the Moscow cinema modernization program led by development company ADG group.
The center revitalizes the historic Rodina cinema, a post-constructivist building originally designed by architects Viktor Kalmykov and Yakov Kornfeld in 1938. Now a protected cultural heritage site, the building had seen its original character eroded by numerous renovations over the years, followed by a devastating fire in 2003 that destroyed much of its historical decor.
ADG group undertook a scrupulous restoration to return the building to its former glory. The project involved restoring the original facades and meticulously recreating interior details, including the stair railings and the first-floor foyer. Through painstaking effort, restorers brought back the coffered ceilings with their columns to life and repaired the famous facade fresco, replacing its broken tiles.
The modernized neighborhood center spans 6,269 square meters, including open galleries and a functional rooftop. The facility features three above-ground floors, one underground level, and an operational roof for warm-weather events. A key focus of the restoration was ensuring accessibility; all interior spaces were adapted to modern barrier-free standards, and two new elevators were installed, one providing direct access to a summer terrace on the roof.

- Grigory PecherskiyManaging Partner of ADG group«We are thrilled to open A Meeting Place Rodina after years of dedicated work. We have not only brought back a familiar landmark for Muscovites but also realized the architects' original vision with an accessible rooftop—a perfect spot for families and friends to relax and enjoy panoramic city views. I am confident this restored center will become a new hub for residents to gather for education, leisure, and relaxation».
The center's offerings are designed to serve the entire community. The first floor houses a library for quiet reading or work, while the second and third floors provide dedicated leisure and creative spaces for youth. It will host artist exhibitions, creative and theatrical workshops, a sewing studio, multifunctional and dance halls, and even a recording studio for aspiring musicians.
A Meeting Place Rodina is part of the innovative A Meeting Place network, which aims to strengthen community bonds by providing local socio-cultural spaces for residents' initiatives. Another center in the network is scheduled to open before the end of 2025. Collectively, these neighborhood centers attract over four million visitors every month.
