It should not be read in isolation. Location The Properties within the Portfolio of real estate assets to be valued are located in St. Petersburg and Leningradskaya Oblast', Moscow, Yekaterinburg, Russia Description The Subject Property is represented by vacant, partly or completely developed land plots intended for residential and commercial development and commercial office buildings with related land plots. Areas Ɣ Buildings – see the Schedule of Properties below Ɣ Land plots – see the Schedule of Properties below Tenure Ɣ Buildings – see the Schedule of Properties below Ɣ Land plots – see the Schedule of Properties below Tenancies As of the valuation date from the data provided by the Client, the office properties are partially occupied by the short-term leaseholders according to the lease agreements. Valuation Ɣ Commercial Properties. We’ve analysed both the office real estate market of St. considerations Petersburg and Moscow in general and the competitive environment of the Projects particularly to determine the market rental, vacancy and capitalization rates and OPEX for the Properties. We used this information to compare it with the data provided by the Client and to calculate the market rents after the lease expires if the current rent does not correspond to the market. Furthermore we’ve analysed the supply of the similar properties for sale. Thus the value was determined by reference to observable prices. Ɣ Residential Properties. We’ve analysed both the residential real estate market of St. Petersburg and Leningradskaya Oblast’, Moscow, Yekaterinburg in general and the competitive environment of the Projects particularly to determine market prices, sales pace per quarter, price growth due to the inflation and project completion and construction costs. We used this information to compare it with the data provided by the Client and to calculate the market sales prices if the current prices do not correspond to the market. We assumed that sale prices information provided by the Client refers to the current average prices for the appropriate unit (apartment (per unit), office or retail space (per sq. m) or parking lot (per unit)) as if the property was Valuation report Ň A portfolio of real estate assets in St. Petersburg and Leningradskaya Oblast', Moscow and Moskovskaya Oblast’, Yekaterinburg, Russia Ň KF Ref: PO-17/2015 Ň Prepared on behalf of LSR Group OJSC Ň Date of issue: March 17, 2016 Page 2 commissioned at the valuation date. Ɣ We used CPI forecast of Ministry of Economic Development of Russian Federation to index the construction costs. Ɣ Residential Properties. We’ve analysed average residential prices dynamics by classes and extrapolated it on indexing the income from sales. Ɣ All the general comments set out in this report refer to all the Properties within the portfolio if only special assumption is not provided. Ɣ To the Tax Code of Russian Federation residential development performed by contractors is not subject to VAT excluding commercial and parking construction in case of charging VAT from selling prices. Thus VAT paid on construction and other development costs can be offset only proportionally to the costs incurred in non- residential construction. Commercial properties are subject to VAT in full (long-term leasehold of the land plot) or in respect of the price apportioned to the building (freehold of the land plot) if only the owner’s company is not using Simplified Tax System. Thus we have assumed that all development costs and prices provided by the Client include VAT (where applicable). In our value calculations we applied cash flows including VAT. Ɣ More detailed valuation considerations for the particular Properties within the portfolio are expressed in the description placed in the attachments to the report. Valuation date Date of issue: March 17, 2016. Market Value 136,037,713,000 (One Hundred Thirty-Six Billion Thirty-Seven Million Seven Hundred (Fair Value), Thirteen Thousand) RUB. rounded Key assumptions Ɣ The Subject Property is represented by vacant, partly or completely developed land plots intended for residential (residential premises) and commercial (apartments) development (hereinafter referred to as “Residential Properties”) and by commercial office buildings with related land plots (hereinafter referred to as “Commercial Properties”). It is assumed that the buildings under construction will be completed in accordance with the identified plans and specification provided by the Client. Ɣ We have been provided with the Properties’ title information by the Client. Nevertheless we have not been provided with all the ownership certificates and land long-term lease agreements to verify it. Thus, in our valuation, we have assumed a good and marketable freehold (to the land plots and buildings) or long-term leasehold (to the land plots) title and that all documentation is satisfactorily drawn. Ɣ Several legal entities are the owners of the Properties within the portfolio. The Client has informed us that all these legal entities belong to LSR Group OJSC. Thus we assume that Valuation report Ň A portfolio of real estate assets in St. Petersburg and Leningradskaya Oblast', Moscow and Moskovskaya Oblast’, Yekaterinburg, Russia Ň KF Ref: PO-17/2015 Ň Prepared on behalf of LSR Group OJSC Ň Date of issue: March 17, 2016 Page 3 100% ownership of LSR Group OJSC is to be valued. Ɣ To the title documents provided by the Client, part of the Properties is either the shared ownership or leasehold. For a shared ownership we assume it is the share of freehold tenure of the Client in all the properties to be assessed. For leasehold property we assume it is freehold tenure of the improvements and leasehold of the land to be assessed. Ɣ We assume that all the utilities (heating, cold and hot water, electricity, sewerage / drainage and telecommunications) are available to the Property at the site borders. Ɣ We assume that public and social (including school) facilities for the future development are sufficient. Ɣ We have adopted the Developer’s estimate of project costs (project budget) within our assessment. Ɣ Development project costs provided by the Client consist of already incurred and estimated outstanding costs. Since we provide our opinion on the value as of the valuation date, in our calculations we have adopted only estimated outstanding costs. Ɣ Residential Properties. Sales proceeds provided by the Client consist of anticipated income from already sold but unpaid units and estimated income from the unsold units. In our DCF calculations we have adopted only income estimated from the unsold units. We assumed that a hypothetic potential purchaser of the Property would normally be entitled to all the Property rights including claim rights for the payment for sold unpaid units. Thus, we have added anticipated income from already sold but unpaid units to the NPV. Ɣ We have assumed construction period in accordance with the Developer’s envisaged timetable when in our opinion this timetable complied with construction periods witnessed at developments of a comparable scale. Otherwise our knowledge of similar developments suggested a construction period allowance of approximately 1 year (per phase if applicable). Ɣ Residential Properties. We have assumed construction phasing in accordance with the Client’s envisaged phasing. In the absence of construction phasing information provided by the Client, we have adopted the most probable market construction phasing. We assumed 100,000 – 200,000 sq. m of buildings constructed within 1 phase. Ɣ If a whole portfolio, or a substantial number of properties within it, were to be placed on the market at the same time, it could effectively flood the market, leading to a reduction in values. Conversely, the opportunity to purchase a particular group of properties might produce a premium. In other words, the value of the whole could exceed the sum of the individual parts, and vice versa. Since valuing is for a purpose of inclusion in financial statements that assumes that the portfolio will continue to remain in the existing ownership or occupation, it would be inappropriate to make any reduction or Valuation report Ň A portfolio of real estate assets in St. Petersburg and Leningradskaya Oblast', Moscow and Moskovskaya Oblast’, Yekaterinburg, Russia Ň KF Ref: PO-17/2015 Ň Prepared on behalf of LSR Group OJSC Ň Date of issue: March 17, 2016 Page 4 allowance in the valuation to reflect the possible effect of flooding the market. Ɣ To the Terms of Engagement the valuation of portfolio should be presented in the format of the report. Market researches, competitors analyses, and description of the Properties within the Portfolio are placed in attachments to the report. Ɣ We draw your attention to the fact that values change over time and a valuation given on a particular date may not be valid on an earlier or later date. Our opinion of value is only current at the valuation date.

  • Future of the Obvodny Canal—The Main Line of the Saint
    Architecture and Engineering Volume 2 Issue 4 FUTURE OF THE OBVODNY CANAL — THE MAIN LINE OF THE SAINT PETERSBURG GREY BELT Leonid Lavrov 1, Fedor Perov 2, Raffaele Gambassi 3 1,2 Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering Vtoraja Krasnoarmejskaja ul. 4, St. Petersburg, Russia 3 Via Salceto 87, Poggibonsi,Siena, Italy 1 [email protected], 2 [email protected] Abstract The study looks at the issues of the development of territories in the Obvodny Canal area. These issues, which are of great interest as related to the planned transformation of the Grey Belt, become more aggravated due to the increase in traffic load after the Western High-Speed Diameter (WHSD) opening. A significant decrease in the housing quality and cost of apartments facing embankments is observed, which can be explained by an extremely high level of noise and contamination with exhaust gases. Options for the improvement of environmental conditions, based on the conversion of territories allocated for the canal water area, are proposed. It is being noted that the Obvodny Canal has lost its functional purpose and can be converted as dozens of (nowadays former) canals in the historic center of Saint Petersburg. Keywords Grey Belt, Saint Petersburg transport infrastructure, Obvodny Canal, ecology of living environment. Introduction The canal was abandoned and for a long time it served The Obvodny Canal was constructed in 1803–1835. as a waste canal for local enterprises and residential In 1766, a drainage ditch was dug from the Ligovsky Ca- blocks. In the 1960s, a proposal to fill up the canal was nal to the Ekateringofka River; the western part of the Ob- debated.

  • Agustin Betancourt in Russia1
    Q ’H ’E 2009 AGUSTIN BETANCOURT IN RUSSIA1 Vladimir E. Pavlov 1.- To the service of the Russian Crown2. Agustin Betancourt arrived for the first time in Russia in November 1807 and stayed there for several months, till April 1808. During this first stay he was presented to Alexandre I, charmed him as a person, pleased him as an engineer and got the invitation to enter the service of the Crown under very advanta- geous conditions (fig. 1). He also impressed the royal family, and namely the empress-mother Maria Fedorovna with whom he entertained a correspondence after his departure and whose benevolent atti- tude contributed greatly to concretise this opportunity. Thus, in her letter addressed to Betancourt in Paris, the royal Lady asked him not to postpone his coming to Russia that particularly influenced his decision. In his reply, dated June 22, 1808, Betancourt writes about his definitive decision and preparations for his journey3. The fact that Betancourt had given his prior agreement to Alexander I to turn to the service of Russia is evidenced by the Alexander I’s decree dated March 13, Figure 1.

But St. Petersburg’s three centuries have matured its material authenticity, recognizable tableaux and unique urban narratives, chiefly the Petersburg Text. The three of these, intertwined in their formation and development, created a distinctive place-identity. The aura arising from this distinctiveness functioned as a marketable code not only for St. Petersburg’s heritage industry, but also for a future-oriented engagement with post-Soviet hypercapitalism. Reflecting on both up-to-date scholarship and the actual cityscapes themselves, my dissertation will focus on the imaginative landscapes in the historic center of St.

  • Three Centuries of Multi-Storied St. Petersburg
    E3S Web of Conferences 33, 01003 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/20183301003 HRC 2017 Three centuries of multi-storied St. Petersburg Leonid Lavrov1, Fedor Perov1,, Aleksandra Eremeeva1 and Vladimir Temnov1 1Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (SPSUACE), 2-nd Krasnoarmeiskaya St. 4, 190005, St. Petersburg, Russia Abstract. The article is devoted to assessment of the role of high-rise buildings in the St. Petersburg historic city’s ensemble. Features of formation of city architectural look, the conditions of city typical silhouette’s appearance which is characterized by the contrast of a small number of high-rise structures with a low horizontal mass building are observed. The consequences of the emergence of a significant number of great height buildings, the silhouette of which conflicts with the traditional St. Petersburg landscape’s compositional principles, are analyzed. The economic reasons of high-rise construction of residential and office buildings are given. The conclusions about the prospects of St. Petersburg high-rise construction in the light of city-building and economic factors are made. 1 Introduction The problem of transformation of the historic St. Petersburg’s specific silhouette, which evolved over three centuries, appeared at the beginning of the new century. The weakening of height regulations in the mid of 1990-ies allowed to place buildings up to a height of 28- 40 meters in the city center and in the depth of the districts which led to the fact that there are more and more objects in the classic urban panoramas, which destroy the "skyline" beauty. The research urges to turn to the assessment of the role of high-rise structures in the ensemble of the historic St.

  • Foreword from the Head of Moscow Metro 3 Events of the Year 4
    Foreword from the head of Moscow Metro 3 Events of the year 4 Performance indicators 20 Metro staff 30 Development and technical upgrade 44 Safety and security 50 International activity 56 Future development 62 1 The year 2012 can certainly be described as a year of great accomplishments, including the opening of new stations, reconstruction of existing facilities and metro technical systems. This year we have introduced a new section “Novogireevo” – “Novokosino” on the Kalininskaya line”, that allows now quick, convenient and reliable mode of transport to be provided to almost 200,000 inhabitants of the district. Besides, the metro map shows the long-awaited station ”Alma-Atinskaya” on the Zamoskvoretskaya line and the station “Pyatnitskoye shosse” in the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Foreword from the head line. The future of Moscow transport system is unthinkable without development of the metro, which plays a key role in the city’s public transport of Moscow Metro system. The Moscow Metro management carries out all the changes planned and appointed by the Moscow Government by paying as much attention to the demand of Muscovites and guests of the capital as possible. By 2020, 67 new stations are planned to be constructed. At present, we prioritize the construction of the Exterior interchange circuit line with the phased commissioning of line sections, the extension of the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya line from station “Maryina roshcha” to the northern areas of the city by 2015. Also the construction of the new Kozhukhovskaya line from the station “Aviamotornaya” to the station “Nekrasovka. By 2017, the Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya line will be formed and operated between the station “Novokosino” and the districts, Solntsevo and Novo-Peredelkino.
