Hals Development has bought a controlling stake in a project to build a 200,000 square meter office building on Leningradsky Prospekt in Moscow from Coalco, Vedomosti reported, citing a source close to Hals Development.
All the necessary documents needed to start the construction have been obtained. Hals Development plans to open the office center in 2016.
Experts say the developer will need to invest around $400 million to complete the building.
Coalco has been getting rid of its property development business over the last few years, while Hals, on the contrary, has been acquiring real estate assets.
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.
