According to the partner of B.I.D.S., Maxim Shakirov, this transaction is the largest among the acquisitions of industrial real estate objects by end users on the Russian market over the past few years. "The uniqueness of this transaction lies in the fact that the National Computer Corporation was the first in its segment to decide to implement a project of this volume in the build-to-suit format (construction under the customer's requirements). The success of the implementation of transactions in this format is possible only when one side is ready to hear the requirements and expectations of the other side, to be flexible and compromise.

In order to fully control the quality, timing and cost of construction, PNK Group has concentrated in its hands a full cycle of work: investment, development, construction, production of building materials and management of finished facilities. This allows you to achieve unconditional compliance with obligations to the customer "- said Oleg Mamaev.
