Over eight years, Moscow entrepreneurs have purchased 27 premises in cultural heritage sites from the city following a competition and restored 18 of them. This was reported by Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction Vladimir Efimov.
"Selling premises in historical buildings as part of competitions is a format of cooperation between the city and entrepreneurs, which has been implemented since 2017.

Thanks to this, the capital's infrastructure is developing, jobs are being created, and architectural monuments are getting a second life. Over more than eight years, entrepreneurs have purchased 27 premises with an area of more than four thousand square meters from the city as a result of competitions. Of these, 18 have already been put in order – this is almost 2.8 thousand square meters of real estate, the rest are still undergoing restoration," said Vladimir Efimov.

"The largest number of premises restored since 2017 are located in the center of the capital: five in the Tverskoy district, four in Presnensky, three in Khamovniki, two in Basmanny. Investors have restored one property each and are already using it for business in the Zamoskvorechye and Krasnoselsky districts. The historical value of these buildings makes them attractive to tourists and clients, while after restoration, the premises in them meet modern requirements for comfort and safety. Convenient transport accessibility and developed infrastructure nearby also help attract visitors, creating favorable conditions for business development," she specified.
