LSR Group starts pre-sales in new residential project in St. Petersburg

LSR Group announces start of pre-sales in the new residential project "Sofiya" with a total area of 307th sq m. The new project will be built on the land plot of approximately 21,9 ha in the Frunzensky district of St. Petersburg.

The project consists of twenty three 20-25-storey buildings comprising 6000 one-, two- and three-room apartments (34 - 87.5 sq m). All the apartments will be transferred to customers fitted-out. In addition, there will be commercial premises on the ground floor with a total area more than 2 000 sq m.

The price per square meter starts at RUB 74,000.

The project has high market potential due to its location in the district with well-developed social infrastructure and transportation system. There will also be parking and multifunctional zones with a sports ground and playground.

"Sofiya" will be built using energy-efficient "seamless" technology which provides higher insulation and comfort, compared to traditional prefabricated buildings.

The project is scheduled for completion in 2018.

Dmitry Khodkevitch, Managing Director of LSR. Real Estate - North-West, comments:

"Sofiya" residential complex will be on the land plot previously occupied by one of LSR Group's subsidiaries - a brick production facility which was then relocated to the Leningrad region. This project demonstrates both effective usage of the company's own land and creating comfortable living conditions in the former industrial zone".
