Hals-Development and Mail.ru Group have signed a long-term lease agreement to provide the technology company with 29,932 square meters in the Hals SkyLight business center on Leningradsky Prospekt in Moscow.
Mail.ru will occupy one of the two 27-story towers at the site, according to a statement released by Cushman & Wakefield, which advised the deal. This is the largest office lease transaction in Moscow in 2011, the statement said.
The company expects the new office to be functioning by February 2013.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
