6 Proofs That Apartments in Moscow Are Not Inferior to Elite Real Estate on Manhattan

Manhattan is known for ultra-premium real estate. Members of the global elite choose it for understandable reasons: the best apartments with luxurious finishes are located there, and luxury residential complexes on Manhattan set world standards for service quality. Today, premium services that ensure comfortable living for residents are also available in Moscow. We explain which solutions have elevated the capital's real estate market to a new level.

Concierge Service

The word 'concierge' comes from the French term comte des cierges, which translates to 'candle holder': in the past, the main task of a personal assistant was to illuminate the path for the owner. Today, candles are no longer needed for navigation, but concierge services remain in high demand. Elite residences on Manhattan cannot be imagined without concierges. Assistants fulfill requests, maintain order, and make the lives of apartment owners as convenient as possible.

Premium homes in Moscow do not lag behind American ones; for example, in each of the nine luxury residential buildings in the Prime Park neighborhood, concierge services are provided 24/7. You receive not only keys to your ready-made apartment, but also high-quality service that allows you to quickly resolve any issues that arise.

If a routine day is marred by an unexpected breakdown, the assistant will help you quickly resolve the issue. If a courier cannot find your house, the concierge will definitely guide them. Residents can also order technical maintenance of their apartment, delivery of necessary medications, or reserve a table in the quarter's restaurants through the service. And this is far from a complete list of amenities available to Prime Park residents.

Doorman

The well-known profession emerged on the Ancient East due to fierce competition between inns. In the Russian Empire, doormen appeared in the 19th century — at that time, people from Switzerland fled their homeland and found employment in inns. Of course, many associate doormen with luxury hotels, but their services have long been used beyond the hospitality industry.

For example, residents of the elite 737 Park Avenue on Manhattan are always greeted by doormen. Foreign colleagues' solutions inspired the developers of Moscow's Noble Row and the elite Prime Park residential quarter: each building here has its own doorman.

Valet Parking

Vallet parking is most widely used in the United States. It can be accessed in hotels, restaurants, and shopping centers. Parking takes minimal time: guests leave their car at the entrance and hand over the keys to a parking attendant. When the guest wants to leave, they just make one call and the car will be brought to the entrance.

Visitors to GUM can appreciate the convenience of valet parking in Moscow. The department store guarantees vehicle security: cars are officially insured, and management is entrusted exclusively to professional drivers. This service is also provided in some elite residential quarters, such as Prime Park.

High-Quality App

Twenty years ago, few could imagine that people would not only order taxis via apps but also manage their apartments. In New York, over 1,000 buildings are equipped with the Latch system that allows doors to be opened using a smartphone app. Other apps help residents track deliveries and pay rent for apartments.

Modern technologies ensure comfort in Moscow's premium residential quarter Prime Park. Ready-made apartments in buildings with thoughtful architecture and design surprise not only with their sophistication but also with an innovative digital system. Control of utility costs, guest passes, calls to property management staff, orders for internal and external services—all this is available in one app.

Skyscrapers and Stunning Views

America is considered the birthplace of skyscrapers: the first high-rise building was built in Chicago in 1855. In New York, skyscrapers have long been the city's calling card, and Manhattan is regarded as the main skyscraper district. It’s no surprise that the most expensive apartments are located on the upper floors of elite complexes, offering breathtaking views of the city.

Owners of real estate in high-rise buildings can enjoy stunning views of Moscow from bird’s-eye view: the panoramic windows of capital apartments are just as impressive as those in New York.

Private Park Near the Building

Manhattan is home not only to the world's most recognizable Central Park, but also to Gramercy Park — one of the most famous private parks. It is only accessible to residents of 39 townhouses, so no one disturbs their peace during walks. By the way, Central Park exists not only in Manhattan but also in the heart of Russia. When purchasing real estate, residents of the Prime Park residential quarter receive exclusive access to an exclusive 3-hectare Central Park located in the quarter’s courtyard.

A beautiful green oasis provides a unique opportunity to rest from the hustle and bustle of city life right in the center of the capital: comfortably sit in the shade of trees, admire fountains, or take a stroll along beautifully landscaped paths. If you want to extend your walking route, there is also an improved public park of 3 hectares surrounding the quarter.
