All necessary administrative and commercial premises are also located in a separate unit of the children centre. The main feature of the design is a large-scale mosaic panel ‘Firebird and young apples’ 12 meters high and 17 meters long.

The area of the children center covers about 10 thousand sq. meters.

A unique sculpture of a crystal apple of 3.76 m x 4 m in size was installed near the territory of ‘Zhar-Ptitsa’ centre in the Central Square of the ‘Sady Pridonia’ village in 2024.

For more than 25 years the Company has been supporting and developing thoroughbred horse breeding; a whole division, a stud farm, has been successfully operating at the enterprise. In order to create the most favorable conditions for thoroughbred horses a new stable and riding arena were constructed. Particular attention was paid to the arrangement of paddocks, occupying 12 hectares. They were equipped with bottom irrigation systems and crop rotation was organized. As a result nowadays horses have the opportunity to be on pasture for most of the year, from April to November.

In addition there is a dirt racing circle next to the stable. The track length (1600 m) and width (20 m) allows horses to be fully prepared for performances at hippodromes. In 2021 the Company signed an agreement with the Central Moscow Hippodrome for long-term sponsorship of the country's main race for thoroughbred horses, the Grand All-Russian Derby Prize. Now this prize is named after ‘Sady Pridonia’.

Russian horse breeding is currently going through hard times, so it needs support and large financial investments more than ever. Andrey Samokhin, President of the Company ‘Sady Pridonia’.

The main goal of the Company is to develop the social infrastructure of the village, improve the quality of life of employees in parallel with the development of production.
