Tab India feverishly worked to process more than 800,000 square feet of granite for the Afi Mall — Moscow’s grand shopping and entertainment center — in a tight timeframe of eight months
Positioned in the center of Moscow City, which has been deemed “the largest and most ambitious investment and development project in Europe,” the Afi Mall encompasses approximately 1.9 million square feet and is considered to be the largest shopping and entertainment complex in Russia’s capital city. With a shopping gallery comprised of 350 shops, a multiplex cinema, supermarket and a number of restaurants, cafes and food court — among other amenities, design and construction of the new complex required careful thought and planning. Moreover, because of the project’s fast-tracked schedule, it was imperative that all trades involved could work together and were qualified to meet the unyielding deadline. Up for the challenge, Tab India supplied more than 800,000 square feet of granite in a period of eight months, which allowed the Afi Mall to open in time for the holidays.
“The mall is an architectural masterpiece — integrating both the urban and the historical environment of the city of Moscow,” stated the Negev Israel Co., the General Contractor for the project. “It is one of the largest international projects in which [we] have been involved.”
