In August 2003, ENKA signed a contract for the construction of the IKEA Mega Commercial Centre, located in the Khimki district of Moscow, an investment project of LLC IKEA MOS (Retail and Property) and included all additional work.

The commercial center occupies a 44-hectare plot and is primarily a two-storey building with an additional mezzanine floor of 3,000 m² for the cinema complex, having a total construction area of 186,000 m², including the 32,000 m² car park.

The structure of the Mega Building is predominantly reinforced concrete, with steel and pre-cast concrete columns of various spans up to 24 m.

The IKEA Office building, which is connected to the Mega building, is a separate threestorey reinforced concrete structure, with a construction area of 5,000 m² and the Auchan hypermarket building is another separate, single-storey building connected to the main Mega Building. It has a mezzanine floor and has a construction area of 46,000 m² including a 22,000 m² underground parking space.

All the facades on the buildings are a combination of insulated sandwich panels, brick walls and glazing.

The Do-It-Yourself (DIY) OBI Store, constructed at the northwest end of the Mega building is 19,000 m². The main part of the building features reinforced concrete columns, a steel roof structure and a façade made of sandwich panel cladding. Its winter garden section has steel structure columns, a roof and a fully glazed façade.

The main entrance of the Mega building opens onto a main hall with an area of 6,000 m², has a space truss roof with spans of up to 52 m and accommodates a food court, cafes and coffee shops, adorned with vegetation, and an ice rink that operates throughout the year.
