The Geographical Patterns of the Warehouse Property Market in the Moscow Urban Agglomeration

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: — This article analyzes the current state and development trends of the warehouse property market in Moscow and Moscow oblast, the geography of large warehouse facilities, and the density of their distribution within the Moscow urban agglomeration. It is found that the most popular logistics directions are the northwest (Zelenograd and Radumlya), south (Domodedovo and Belye Stolby) and east (Balashikha and Noginsk) with the largest freight traffic flows and free areas for construction, as well as the Central Ring Road (Belyi Rast, Sever-4) due to the increased speed and time of freight delivery. High demand for warehouse property is also observed for the southwest (Vorsino) and northeast (Sofrino and Pushkino) sectors. In the west (Istra) and north (Dmitrov) directions, new warehousing facilities appear mostly between the Moscow Ring Road and the Central Ring Road due to relatively low transit cargo flows in these directions and the prevalence of water and forested land in the land use structure. The logistical influence of the Moscow urban agglomeration extends beyond the borders of Moscow oblast in the southwestern (Obninsk), northeastern (Pereslavl-Zalessky), and western (Gagarin) directions. These conclusions are based on statistical information and mathematical calculations.
