Construction would be responsible to Deputy Mayor for Construction and Architecture, Vladimir Kritskii. The project combines about 450,000 square meters of commercial space, offices, hotels, entertainment centers, cafes, and restaurants.

Construction of Yekaterinburg-City started in 2007 and was scheduled to complete in 2014.
