Moscow merchant. For centuries, this city has been a center of intersection of trade routes, has collected famous fairs from all over the country. Peasants, artisans brought their products here. Merchants brought overseas goods. The spirit of the fair, even during the heyday of the socialist construction of the USSR, was preserved in the so-called collective farm markets. There, the workers of the village could independently sell their products. One of the centers of trade with centuries of history has become the Danilovsky market. Address - Moscow, Mytnaya street, 74.
Historical reference
The area between the streets of Samarinskaya, 2nd Samarinskaya, Mytnaya and Serpukhov Val has served as a trading point for centuries. The birth of the market is considered the foundation of the Danilov Monastery. It is safe to say that it was then that the Danilovsky market arose. The address was also chosen not by chance. In this place there were busy roads from the south of the country to Moscow.
After almost seven centuries, the Soviet government, by its decree, secured the right to freely trade at this address. Danilovsky market continued to live. Even in conditions of tight regulation of trade by the state.
Today
1986 fundamentally changed the appearance of the retail space.
A new building was built. A project unique at that time with a dome-folded structure made of reinforced concrete with a diameter of 72 meters. All this was covered with copper, and in the center ended with a glazed dome. The building, which today attracts attention with its architecture. Warehouses, administrative premises and the hotel were successfully hidden behind the dome and did not distract attention. The capital received a new look of the old Danilovsky market (the address at that time was well known far beyond the city limits). All the years of the late Soviet period, the 90s and to the present time, the dome did not stop trading. Partially around the perimeter, it was covered with kiosks and pavilions, covering the general plan of the architect.
What will happen next
In 2006, a joint stock company with 100% state capital was established. Trade came under the control of Danilovsky Market OJSC, registration address is 115191, Moscow, Mytnaya Street 74. Everything changed, trade began to go more civilized, order was put in place. Interfering tents were removed from the adjacent area. Since 2012, attempts to sell the building began, but then there were no buyers who agreed to the starting price. Two years later, Expert-Union LLC was registered at Danilovsky Market, which became its owner in 2015. Later, the building passed under the control of the Ginza Project holding. Under the terms of the transaction, it is expected that at least 800 million rubles will be invested in the reconstruction.
Trade on its territory is becoming increasingly international, Moscow restaurateurs are opening their cafes with a variety of concepts. Often, the market becomes a venue for a wide variety of events - from culinary master classes to antique fairs. Life goes on.
