September 2010
Storm Properties will continue to act as the developer of the project and has moved a project team to the site office which is located on the site of the future business park.
The "paper" stage of the project was fully completed in 2009 when the positive conclusion for the project documentation was received from the State Expertise. Based on the real estate market condition and its estimated recovery rates, the investors made the decision to commence with the marketing of the scheme to potential occupiers prior to undertaking preparatory site works to enable the construction of the 1st phase to begin in Spring 2011.
Michael Belton, President of Storm Properties, said: "We are excited to start our active marketing campaign to promote K2. We consider that today is strategically the right time for that. A number of potential anchor tenants have already shown interest in the project. Companies in the technology, gas and oil industries, and those with manufacturing facilities to the south-west of Moscow are our targeted tenants because they can truly take advantage of the efficient layouts and the high quality of the office space. In the immediate future we will focus on presenting the opportunity to major occupiers, site preparation works, and the tender process."
