Moscow region land belonging to the presidential administration will be developed with housing, a golf course, polo club, stables for 250 horses and a helipad, Gazeta.ru reported Friday.
Co-investors in the $1 billion project are the Olympic City Group and Orionpropertyfund. Those organizations do not make the identity of their shareholders public. Mezhtopenergobank, which is associated with former Rusnano head Leonid Melamed, will partially finance the first phase of construction.
According to Chesterton real estate agents, the complex will occupy more than 450 hectares on the 26th kilometer of Rublyovo-Uspenskoye Shosse. It will consist of 210 houses and 60 townhouses, for a total of 200,000 square meters of housing. Construction of the first houses is to be completed in 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.
