      • The space took over part of the Sevkabel factory — Russia's oldest cable factory, founded by Siemens & Halske.
      • It was Siemens & Halske that first linked Petersburg and Moscow by telegraph and lit Nevsky Prospekt with electricity.
      • In 1918 the factory was nationalised and given its present name, “Sevkabel”.
      • The renovation was devised by the KHVOYA bureau: all the factory buildings were kept, and reel-shaped benches were placed along the alley.
      • The first event took place in June 2017, and Sevkabel Port officially opened in September 2018.
      • In 2020 the neighbouring Vera Slutskaya factory was added to the space — it was named “Iskabel”.
