"Sevkabel Port" is a project of transformation of the historical "rust belt" of the city harbor into a public cultural and business space. Sevkabel Port opened in September 2018 and continues to develop. The pedestrian embankment overlooking the Gulf of Finland, which was opened by Sevkabel Port, is a new must see of the city. More than 600 events are held on the territory and in the spaces of the Sevkabel Port every year. Educational programs, performances, concerts, exhibitions, sports activities, markets, film screenings, gastronomic and music festivals take place at the liveliest event venue in Russia.
Sevkabel Port combines the best practices of transforming industrial heritage into a regional center of cultural and entrepreneurial activity. In 2019, Sevkabel Port was visited by more than 1,650,000 guests, including 300,000 tourists. The initiator and investor of the project is the Sevkabel plant, the first cable plant in Russia, founded in 1879 as a manufactory of the Siemens & Halske trading house.
