Large distribution center planned for construction in the Nizhny Novgorod Region

A large distribution center is planned for construction along the Nizhny Novgorod Highway in Dzerzhinsk. The facility will be leased by one of the largest retail companies. The investor, LLC "Alliance-NN", selected the land plot for the project using the Nizhny Novgorod Region Investment Map. The project is being supported by the Nizhny Novgorod Region Development Corporation.

"The Nizhny Novgorod Region is one of Russia's largest transport and logistics hubs with developed infrastructure, so it's no surprise that investors choose our region for such significant logistics projects. The company plans to build a complex including two distribution centers with a container storage area. Total project investments will amount to 5.3 billion rubles," said Andrey Sanosyan, Deputy Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region.

The project will create approximately 1,000 new jobs.

"The investment map is a convenient service that allows businesses to review not only potential sites but also all available infrastructure in advance. Our specialists, whose contacts are also listed on the map, are ready to consult entrepreneurs on any questions," noted Igor Ishchenko, Director General of the Nizhny Novgorod Region Development Corporation.

Specialists from the Corporation also assisted the investor in preparing an application for the Council on Land and Property Relations to secure the project site and clarified costs for utility connections.

"The location for the future distribution centers was optimally selected at the intersection of multiple logistics routes, enabling efficient food supply to both Nizhny Novgorod and neighboring regions. This ideal site selection was made possible through effective, systematic cooperation with the Corporation. That's why we chose the Nizhny Novgorod Region to 'land' our project. Its implementation will significantly enhance food security, stimulate competition in the regional food segment, and expand the range of food products available. We are currently preparing to begin construction, with site preparation work already underway. The project is expected to take over a year to complete," said Vladimir Nazarov, Director General of the company.

The interactive regional investment map (https://newmap.nn-invest.ru) is a bilingual (Russian and English) public map of Nizhny Novgorod Region containing such information as investment sites, real estate properties, existing Territories of Advanced Development (TADs) and Special Economic Zones (SEZs), transport infrastructure, mineral resources and support measures. Additionally, the map integrates a cadastral layer as an additional feature.

Currently, the investment map contains information on over 460 investment sites.

The map was developed in compliance with the Regional Investment Standard – a system for creating favorable business conditions in the region. Its components include investment declaration, development agency, investment committee, investment map, as well as a set of investment rules outlining the investor's "client journey".

The standard aims to optimize interactions between investors, authorities, and utility providers while reducing project implementation timelines. To date, all elements of the investment standard have been implemented in the region.

The Nizhny Novgorod Region Investment Map was recognized as the best in Russia at the "Leaders of Investment Development-2024" national awards.

JSC "Nizhny Novgorod Region Development Corporation" was established on the initiative of Governor Gleb Nikitin. The organization supports projects at all stages—from providing regional information and potential support measures to site inspections and commissioning—while coordinating with executive authorities, local governments, natural monopolies, and other entities.
