Although the Amma Development company is the builder of the 400,000 square meter Aviapark shopping and entertainment mall planned for Khodinsky Field, the main investor is an organization associated with Arkady Rotenberg, the former judo partner of President Vladimir Putin, Vedomosti reported.
TPS, another firm majority-owned by Rotenberg, recently received permission to build the commercial and entertainment complex Slavyansky Bulvar in Moscow, which will have 136,000 square meters and is projected to cost $400 million.
The company also announced it will build a similar facility on a 2.5 hectare plot at the intersection of Khoroshyovskoye Shosse and 4th Magistralnaya Ulitsa.

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.
