Khabarovsk's historic buildings hit the market with cultural legacy intact
Two historic buildings in Khabarovsk have been listed for sale, both carrying regional cultural significance. One is the former Far Eastern Regional Office of the People’s Commissariat for Heavy Industry, a protected monument. The other is the V.F. Plyusnin Tobacco Factory, built over a century ago and currently used as office space.
The first property, constructed in 1936, originally served as the Far Eastern Regional Office of the People’s Commissariat for Heavy Industry. Its stone structure combines neoclassical and constructivist architectural styles, earning it the status of a cultural heritage site under regional law. Located on Dzerzhinsky Street, the building includes a full basement under its southeastern section and features concrete decorative elements on its façade.
Today, the building remains in administrative use, hosting offices for various companies, travel agencies, and the Far Eastern Design Center. Around 83% of its total area—over 1,800 square metres—is now on the market. The second property, the V.F. Plyusnin Tobacco Factory, dates back to 1907–1908. Currently functioning as rental office space, the 1,300-square-metre building is priced at 115 million rubles.
Both buildings retain their historical and functional value, with one protected as a regional monument. The sale offers potential buyers the chance to acquire architecturally significant properties still in active use. The listings follow a trend of repurposing historic structures for modern commercial needs.
