Northern valley, Architectural ensemble in Saint Petersburg, Russia
Northern Valley is a residential complex in the Vyborg district of Saint Petersburg, near the Parnas metro station. It covers 270 hectares between Mikhail Dudin Street to the south and Engels Avenue to the east, with about 2.7 million m² of housing built in brick-monolith technology and 575,000 m² of service facilities. Its 21st quarter, on Zarechnaya Street, Shishkina Street and Tolubeyevsky Passage, closed the housing construction in January 2025.
Construction of Northern Valley began in May 2009, when the first pile was driven for the first phase; the developer was Glavstroy-SPb, part of Oleg Deripaska's Basic Element group, and the investment decision was made with Governor Valentina Matviyenko, who also attended the ceremony for the complex's first kindergarten. The city funded engineering networks with 1.1 billion rubles. Phases followed from 2011 to 2020, and in January 2025 the 21st quarter completed residential construction.
Streets in Northern Valley are named after Russian writers and artists: Fyodor Abramov, Nikolai Rubtsov, Valery Gavrilin, Ivan Shishkin and the actor Yevgeny Tolubeyev. The quarters are numbered, and the 21st quarter by Zarechnaya Street, Shishkina Street and Tolubeyevsky Passage closed the housing programme in January 2025.
The complex is served by the Parnas metro station and the Parnas railway station, which also handles Lastochka suburban trains. The site is bounded by Mikhail Dudin Street to the south and Engels Avenue to the east, with Klimovets dacha settlement to the north and Shuvalovo Park to the west. The 22nd quarter is planned to contain only social infrastructure.
The largest single building in Saint Petersburg by number of flats stands at Fyodor Abramov Street 8, block A: three 27-storey towers on 3,575 flats, joined by a shared stylobate into one complex. It was commissioned in December 2013 as part of the fourth phase.
