Club residences in Moscow: a new life format
Krympress reports:
In recent years, a special segment has been formed in the Moscow residential real estate market — club residences. This is a format that combines privacy, high level of service, architectural sophistication and chamber, which distinguishes such objects from traditional elite residential complexes. The concept of a club house is not new — its origins can be traced in European architecture, where the housing of a limited number of apartments was intended for a narrow circle of respectable owners. However, in the Russian capital, she received a new reading in a metropolis and high requirements for the standard of living.
Unlike typical new buildings of business class and even premium complexes, club residences in Moscow are focused on an audience that appreciates not just status, but individuality and comfort at the level of the boutique.

This is a typical example of a club residence: an architectural ensemble, a low number of storeys, a limited number of apartments and the neighborhood with diplomatic and business clusters of the capital.
How club residences differ from elite residential complexes
Although club residences are often classified as elite real estate, there are several fundamental differences:
- Chamber — if there can be several hundred apartments in an elite LCD, then in club houses there are rarely more than 50.
- Individual architectural style-residences are designed according to unique design concepts, without standard solutions.

- The filter in the neighborhood — buyers of club residences often choose not only square meters, but also the “environment” — people with whom they will separate the space.
Thus, the club residence is not just an apartment in a prestigious house, but a closed community with high standards of privacy, safety and comfort.
