Etalon Group Announces Expansion of Regional Operations

2 September 2024

ETALON GROUP PLC (“Etalon Group” or the “Company”), one of Russia’s largest and longest-established residential real estate developers, announces the acquisition of a land plot in a new region of operations: the Leningrad region. The Company plans to implement a large-scale investment and construction project.

Etalon Group has completed the purchase of a land plot in Murino, Leningrad region, for the implementation of a major construction project. The site, covering more than 35 hectares, has been acquired together with an approved land-use plan and urban development plan, which will significantly shorten the project timeline. The project, oriented towards the more affordable market segment, will be executed in several phases. The part of the city where the land plot is located is highly promising for further development, as the new residential development is set to benefit from extensive social and transport infrastructure. Over 300,000 sqm of residential space is expected to be delivered under the project.

The terms of the acquisition stipulate payment in instalments over a two-year period following the signing of the purchase agreement.

Etalon Group is a full-cycle developer and will manage all stages of the new project, including design, construction, marketing and sales. The first phase of the project is scheduled to begin in the first half of 2025, with sales also set to commence during this period.

The new project will further diversify the Company’s portfolio and contribute to growth in sales, which were up by a factor of 2.3 in the first half of 2024.
