Properties previously owned by development company KR Properties are returning to the former owner. The owner of the Azimut Hotels chain, Alexander Klyachin, agreed to buy them from the state. Experts estimate the amount of the transaction at ₽50 -80 billion. This became known on March 4, 2025.

Experts differ in assessing the value of redeemable assets. Mikael Ghazaryan, Head of Capital Markets and Investments at IBC Real Estate, estimates their market value at ₽70 -80 billion. At the same time, senior partner of Ricci Alexei Bogdanov believes that only finished objects based on the amount of rental income can cost about ₽50 billion, not taking into account development projects.

The sources of financing for the deal remain unknown. One of Klyachin's acquaintances suggested that the businessman is likely to attract one of the state banks as a financial partner. In mid-2024, Klyachin created the KR Plus company together with Sberbank, but its owners are currently hidden.

The Federal Property Management Agency previously transferred about 40 companies owned by Klyachin. These firms own the projects of the Mur & Meriliz residential complexes under construction in Stolyarny Lane and Kuznetsky Most 12 by Lalique on Kuznetsky Most, buildings in the business districts Krasnaya Roza, Rassvet, Danilovskaya Manufactory, Aviator, Salyut, Vernadsky business centers, as well as shares in the Savva restaurant in the Metropol hotel^[1]
