Owners
Design, Survey and Research Institute "Hydroproekt" named after S.Ya. Zhuka is one of the oldest organizations designing hydropower and water facilities. The Institute performs a set of survey and design works at all stages - from the development of schemes for the energy and water management use of rivers to the completion of construction and commissioning of facilities for commercial operation. It is one of the world's leading design organizations in the field of hydropower.
The facilities implemented according to the projects of the institute are effectively and reliably operated in Russia and in many foreign countries. In Russia, the Baltic States and the CIS, the Hydroproject Institute has designed over 250 hydroelectric power stations with a total capacity of more than 65,000 MW and an annual generation of about 230 billion kWh of electricity, and in 45 countries of the world - over 50 hydroelectric power stations with a total capacity of more than 26,000 MW. The Institute also designed several shipping canals, including the Moscow Canal, the Volgo-Donskoy Shipping Canal named after V.I. Lenin, as well as the first and only tidal power station in Russia, the Kislogubskaya PES.
JSC "Institute Hydroproekt" has unique competencies and experience, allowing to engage in scientific activities, to implement complex technical solutions in various natural and climatic conditions in Russia and abroad.
Taking part in most projects for the construction of hydroelectric power plants in Russia, the institute has the largest archive of implemented projects (more than 400 facilities), which makes it possible to ensure a high level of design work during the reconstruction and modernization of operated facilities.
History
2025: RusHydro bought out Hydroproekt Research Institute in Moscow for 2.7 billion rubles
In December 2025, RusHydro Services, a member of the RusHydro group, acquired the building of the Hydroproekt Research Institute, located in Moscow on Volokolamskoye Shosse, near the Sokol metro station, from Rosseti. According to the RAD protocol, the transaction price amounted to 2.7 billion rubles.
According to the Vedomosti publication (citing an informed source close to one of the parties to the transaction), RusHydro Service Movement was the only contender for participation in the auction. This made the auction procedure invalid, but made it possible to conclude a sale and purchase agreement directly.
A representative of the RusHydro group confirmed to the publication the fact of the purchase. The buyer received administrative space (34 thousand square meters) and a warehouse (570 square meters) in a 27-story building.
Nikolai Goryunov, director of capital markets at IBC Real Estate, considers the price of the object to correspond to its condition. NF Group partner Marina Malakhatko admits that under certain circumstances the building could cost 20% more.
According to Vedomosti, the high-rise building was built in 1968 for the S.Ya. Zhuk Institute for the Design of Hydraulic Structures. Its architectural prototype was the New York Lever House skyscraper. Since the 2000s, the areas have been leased, including to the Gidroproekt Institute itself, which since 2010 has been part of the RusHydro structure. The facade of the building is known for one of the largest LED screens in Russia and Europe with an area of 3840 square meters. m
A RusHydro spokesman said the group had no plans to rebuild or redevelop the building. Historically, it houses Gidroproekt, which has developed projects for most of the largest hydroelectric power plants in Russia, so the company will continue to use the building to accommodate the staff of the institute and other scientific and design organizations of the group. In the summer of 2024, RusHydro completed the move of its head office to Krasnoyarsk, and the holding had no jobs left in Moscow.
Nikolai Goryunov noted that the land under the building is included in the state program for the integrated development of territories. This fact may mean that the facility in the future will require reconstruction or reconstruction into a multifunctional complex with a possible increase in area. The expert estimated investments in such redevelopment at 3.5-4.7 billion rubles.[1]
