Megalit residential complex occupies a remarkable site: the main façade faces the Obukhovskoy Oborony prospect, which in this part serves as an embankment. Thus, the new building participates in shaping the image of the city when viewed from the Neva river; earlier this function belonged to the River Boat Station, which used to occupy the plot, and to the Rechnaya hotel.
