In April 2011, it became known that Promsvyaznedvizhimost (PSN), controlled by Alexei and Dmitry Ananyev, decided on a development strategy in the housing market. In the coming years, the developer plans to abandon high-rise construction, focusing on cottage projects in the Moscow region. On 530 hectares, PSN expects to build about 320 thousand square meters. m of suburban real estate. The Moscow Region expansion of the developer, according to experts, may require up to $1 billion in investments.

Before the crisis, the company announced plans to engage in high-rise construction in the region. In 2007, it was a question of building 222 hectares in the Solnechnogorsk district: it was planned to build about 1.5 million square meters. m of multi-storey buildings, investing $1.5 billion in the project. However, the market situation in 2008-2010 made its own adjustments to the plans of all developers, and the current strategy of the company does not provide for multi-storey construction.

"We have big plans in the country market," argues Mr Glebov. "130 hectares are already in the works, in the coming years we will launch development projects on the territory of 400 hectares." Today, PSN implements two projects on 35 hectares: Vladychino (Leningrad direction) and Nikolo-Pyatnitskoye (Pyatnitskoye highway). "In the coming month, we will open sales in the cottage village" Treli "(Brekhovo village), where we plan to build up 23 hectares, and sell 12 hectares without a contract," adds Mr. Glebov

In the next three years, PSN intends to increase the scale of expansion into the Moscow region market. According to Mr. Glebov, the company is preparing a number of projects on land with a total area of ​ ​ 208 hectares in the Leningrad direction. It is planned to build 112.8 thousand square meters. m. Another 137.2 thousand square meters. m PSN will be built on 200 hectares in the Novorizhsky direction, 50-65 km from the Moscow Ring Road. "In the next three years, we plan to build 320 thousand square meters. m of suburban housing," says the interlocutor of RBC daily.

Mr. Glebov adds that today the company is implementing projects in economy class. "This type of house is the most in demand," he explains. At the same time, the company is going to offer business and premium projects.

PSN does not disclose the amount of financing for cottage construction. Dmitry Tsvetkov, director of the suburban real estate department at Penny Lane Realty, estimates the required investment at $280-300 million (if projects are implemented in the economy segment).

"The costs of building 320 thousand square meters. m of low-rise housing will approximately amount to 200 - 220 million dollars. It will take about $80 million more to ennoble the site, "the expert explains

In total, the volume of investments, taking into account the creation of all the necessary social infrastructure, may exceed $1 billion, calculated Vladimir Yakhontov, managing partner of Miel - Zagorodnaya Real Estate. The amount may increase if the developer decides to implement complex elite projects.

Market participants call today's course of the developer for inexpensive cottages correct. "Economy class is the most popular segment in the suburban real estate market," says Natalya Belova, head of the Varshavsky office at Inkom-Real Estate. "In terms of demand, this price segment covers 75% of transactions." According to Gennady Teryaev, director of the business development department of Rodex Group, sales in economy class are 10 times higher than in business and the elite.

The most popular, according to the general opinion of market participants, will be projects in New Riga. "Traditionally, this direction occupies a leading position in the suburban real estate market both in terms of supply (20% of the entire market) and in terms of demand (21%)," says Ms. Belova. As for the Leningrad direction, until the transport issue is resolved, it has no prospects, says Mr. Teryaev.
