The formation of an optimal property portfolio on the MZD (Moscow Railway) network was the topic of the strategic session held at the RZD Exhibition Complex on Rizhskiy Square. This session took place as part of the implementation of the property management concept for the RZD holding.

The event was attended by around 70 representatives from the company’s central and regional branches, as well as heads of central apparatus divisions and subsidiaries of RZD.

During the opening of the session, the First Deputy General Director of RZD, Vadim Mikhailov, emphasized the role of the property sector in solving strategic tasks, including those of national importance. He noted that the Moscow Railway is a prime example of how rail transport builds territorial connections, forms agglomerations, and contributes to sustainable social and economic regional development.

The property complex of MZD, which includes 42,000 real estate objects, has significant potential for optimization and development, said RZD's Deputy General Director, Alexander Plutnik. “This process not only involves reducing excess and outdated company property but also creating modern, high-tech facilities”.

The General Director of the Institute for Transport Economics and Development (IEDT), Irina Magnushevskaya, presented the prospective performance indicators for the Central Transport Hub (CTH). It is projected that by 2050, passenger traffic volumes will increase by 1.9 times, reaching 1,470 million people per year, while freight shipments from CTH stations will grow by 1.5 times, from 77.4 million to 123.5 million tons annually.
