Residential complex "Estet" is three monolithic houses located in the city of Klimovsk, 30 km from the Moscow Ring Road. The sale of apartments in the first 14-storey 8-section building began in December 2013. The developer is Premier-Invest LLC, which is part of the Premier Group of Companies.
Building 1
The monolithic house is being built according to an individual project with external facing of facades with facing bricks. It offers 712 apartments from one to three rooms with an area of 36.17-106.88 sq.m. Most of them are one- and two-room, and only 30 are three-room.
Pavilion 2
This is a 16-storey two-section house with housing ranging from 28.56 to 78.92 sq. M. There are 221 apartments designed in the building - 4 on the ground floor and 7 on standard levels that are located above. Most of the apartments are one-room.
Building 3
House of variable number of storeys of 16-17 levels, designed for 426 apartments ranging from 28.56 to 78.92 sq. M.
All housing in the complex is offered without finishing; its implementation is carried out under an equity participation agreement. Each section will have 2 lifts with a lifting capacity of 400 and 630 kg, technical rooms will be provided. Commercial and storage areas are designed only in the 3rd building: on the first floor of the building there are 14 retail and office premises, on the basement there are 91 storerooms for personal use of the residents of the new building.
Infrastructure
On the territory of the residential complex "Estet" there will be a children's playground and landscaping. Near the house there is a child development center (430 m) and a supermarket "Pyaterochka" (600 m). The nearest schools and kindergartens are located relatively far away - within 1 km. At the entrance to Klimovsk, 3.5 km from the new building, there are large hypermarkets "Globus" and "Leroy Marlene", a new sports center with a swimming pool "Yunost".
The site for the complex was chosen in a place with a good transport interchange. Varshavskoe shosse is 720 meters away, along which you can get to Podolsk 8 km away or go to the Moscow Ring Road in 25 km. 3.5 km along the highway, there is a fork, turning right you can go to Simferopol highway. There is a bus and minibus stop 650 m away. In 15 minutes on foot (1 km) you can reach the railway station "Hryvno", from where trains run regularly to the Kursk railway station (1 hour on the way).
A dangerous thing is that these long-term construction projects sometimes disguise themselves as ordinary residential complexes, sales managers smile politely and hand you a contract for signing, but they completely forget to mention that the house should have been rented out almost 10 years ago.
I'm no longer used to digging into the dirty laundry of problematic objects, pulling out their entire history from the bottom and telling you the truth about how another long-term construction can hide under the guise of an ordinary residential complex. No one is safe from falling into an unsuccessful project, and then instead of moving into your own apartment, you will have to stand for hours at the rallies of defrauded equity holders and hope that someday the law will be on your side. I met with the equity holders of the Estet residential complex in Podolsk so that as many people as possible could learn the history of long-term construction with ten years of experience.
About the Complex
Let me present to your attention the residential complex "Estet" in Podolsk near Moscow, more precisely in that part of it, which until recently was an independent city of Klimovsk, and since 2015 it has been a microdistrict of Podolsk. The history of the complex began in 2005 with the signing of an investment contract between the developer PKP Leader LLC and the administration of the Moscow region. The developer has undertaken to build one 14-storey building, 8 sections long, containing 700 apartments. Now there is not a single site of that project left, so it will not be possible to plunge into the past with the help of pictures, you will have to turn on your imagination and present a presentation ten years ago. Surely the site had iridescent letters, pop-up flash captions, and gouge-out colors.
The sale of apartments began in 2006, the object was wildly popular, because at that time it was the only construction project in Klimovsk, which was carried out in accordance with Federal Law 214, so the equity holders were confident in the success of the project and the protection of their deposits. True, the first year the buyers signed a bill instead of the DDU, but soon the developer was fined and full-fledged equity participation agreements immediately appeared. The main stream of those wishing to buy an apartment in the Klimovskaya new building was represented by local residents who wanted to increase their living space or acquire separate housing for their parents, children or grandchildren. They knew this area like the back of their hand, they monitored all construction projects in real time, so with a clear conscience they donated their savings to the project that seemed the most promising at that time. They liked that this is an infill development and that a part of untouched nature will remain around their house, all buildings in the area are low-rise, so life in the stone jungle does not threaten them. True, I still did not understand what was promised from the infrastructure, because at that time there was no widespread fashion for commercial space on the ground floors, and there was no load in the form of construction of social facilities on the developer.
Outwardly, the house looks unattractive, at least by today's standards. This is a monolithic building, the facade of which is lined with orange and brown finishing bricks. No panoramic loggias, design solutions or attractive architecture. This is just a concrete box, which contains several hundred apartments, and nobody cared about the appearance at that time. Now such houses make me sad, because it would be extremely annoying to live in a boring box when there is a riot of architectural delights and bright colors around. Even objects of economy and comfort class, which is the current hero of the residential complex "Estet", many developers are now trying to make them attractive, and this trend cannot but rejoice.
Who started building
The first developer and creator of the Estet residential complex was PKP Leader LLC, which has only two projects in its portfolio and both are long-term projects. In addition to "Estet", it also includes the ZhK Prospekt Krasnaya Armii 251a in Sergiev Posad, which is now being completed by another company.
Potential buyers of apartments in the Estet residential complex trusted the developer for several reasons - construction was carried out in accordance with Federal Law No. 214, which should protect equity holders, the pace of construction was pleasing: dozens of workers quickly erected a monolith of the house. True, it quickly became clear that the developer was not doing very well, at least with regard to building a house. In May 2009, the Arbitration Court of the Moscow Region considered the application of the general contractor ISU-3 on the bankruptcy of the developer PKP Leader LLC and introduced a monitoring procedure. Then the procedure for external management and bankruptcy proceedings. The equity holders turned to the police with a request to open a criminal case against the developer under the article “fraud,” as a result of the audit, it was found that the company's budget did not amount to 120,000,000 rubles. However, the case was never opened.
What happened next?
In mid-2013, the bankruptcy procedure was terminated, and a tripartite Amicable Agreement was approved between the old developer PKP Leader LLC, the new developer Premier Invest LLC and creditors, including equity holders. Under the terms of this Settlement Agreement, all property and all obligations of the old developer were transferred to the new developer, to whom local officials allocated an additional land plot as compensation for the construction of new apartment buildings. Also, under the terms of this Amicable Agreement, the new developer Premier Invest LLC undertook to complete the construction of the first building inherited from PKP Leader in two years and provide the equity holders with apartments by 31.12.2015.
The new developer is extending the building permit issued to his predecessor, looking ahead, I will say that he extended it 4 times, and the last one ended on November 1, 2017, the houses have not yet been commissioned, so we are waiting for a new extension. Immediately after entering the site, the developer started building new houses, now the Estet residential complex is three multi-storey buildings numbered 7 (the one that PKP Leader started), 5 and 5.1. Outwardly, they all look the same, the only difference is in the number of apartments and sections. It is also interesting that the new developer changed the project of building 7, he added an additional floor and reduced the area of the apartments, and the equity holders were not informed about this, they found out after the fact when they saw the erected house.
What now?
Building 7 was supposed to be completed in 2015, buildings 5 and 5.1 a little later, but if it had been a story with a happy ending, it would not have been included in our heading of “long-term construction”, but the question is “why is that?” still remains open. When December 2015 came, and the house was not commissioned, real estate investors began to actively press the developer with demands to explain what was the matter and when the house would be completed. Representatives of the developer calmly answered that everything was in order, small delays in construction were the norm, there was nothing to fear, the house would be handed over soon. At the beginning of 2017, Sergey Matuzov, General Director of Premier Invest LLC, gave an interview in which he confidently announced the deadlines for the delivery of the buildings. He said that corps 7 will be completed by May 2017, 5 and 5.1 on September 26, 2017. The percentage of buildings ready in March is 97% for 7 and 76% each for 5 and 5.1, now the site contains the same figures. He explains the delays in the deadlines simply - at first it took a very long time to sign all the documents, then there were difficulties in obtaining a loan from the bank, then a consumer crisis came, apartment sales decreased, and hence the cash flow. Now all these difficulties are over, Sberbank personally supervises the construction site, so the developer cannot not hand over the house. And I believe him, the question is different - when will this happy day come? Now the dates are being announced - December 2017 for corps 7 and spring 2018 for corps 5 and 5.1. When I was at the facility, I saw several trucks entering the territory, a bunch of workers marching for lunch, but I could not see the hectic activity from behind the fence - building 7 is completely ready outside, and if work is underway, it is inside.
In fact, it is only to those who are watching from the sidelines that it seems that everyone is quietly waiting for the house to be rented out. But after all, equity holders have not been able to move into their apartments for 10 years! I met a woman who told me that their family bought an apartment for their granddaughter, who went to college. They decided not to huddle together in a two-room apartment and give the young generation a separate living space. As a result, the granddaughter graduated from the university, got married and moved in with her husband, but there is still no apartment in the Estet residential complex. Maybe at least the construction of her children will be completed before entering the university. Many equity holders do not sit still and try to get their apartments as early as possible. In August 2016, the first equity holders received in the Arbitration Court of the Moscow Region Writs of Execution for the compulsory execution of the Amicable Agreement, which the new developer Premier Invest LLC did not fulfill in time. They presented these sheets to the Podolsk regional department of the bailiff service. Many were glad that things would get off the ground, but it was not there. The bailiffs returned the writ of execution without execution, the case rose again. No complaints to the higher management of the FSSP helped. The equity holders had to appeal against the actions of the bailiffs in the Arbitration Court. But this does not bring any results.
New developer
Surely you want to know what kind of company "Premier Development" is, which nobly took up the completion of the problematic residential complex, and at the same time decided to weld.
Premier Development is part of the Premier Group of Companies, which has been engaged in design and construction since 2006. The company's website says that its main principle is reliability and transparency of relations with clients. Well, why write such a thing, if your actions demonstrate the completely opposite? Empty words are now the norm, is it? the main thing is to write what sounds pretentious and what potential buyers will like.
The company's portfolio of projects is over 500 thousand square meters, and construction is carried out not only in Moscow and the Moscow region, but also in the Volga region, the North Caucasus and Siberia, Chernozem region and St. Petersburg.
In the Moscow region, I found only a few objects of the company:
- Moscow region, Korolev, st. Tarasovskaya, house 14;
- Moscow region, Korolev, st. Gorky, building 47 (leased out);
- Residential microdistrict, Odintsovo, Moscow region;
- Lcd Estet.
Where is it?
The complex is located in the distant suburbs of Moscow, on the territory of the former city of Klimovsk, which is 28 km from the Moscow Ring Road in the southern direction.
By car: exit to Simferopolskoe highway, after 20 km, exit to the right to Bypass road, from it to Simferopolskaya street, and then to the right to Serpukhovskaya, the complex will be on your left.
By public transport: on the square of three stations at the station "Moscow-Kalanchevskaya" we take the train and go 1 hour 12 minutes to the stop "Grivino", from there another 1.5 km on foot. It seems to me that this is why the apartments in this complex were chosen mainly by local ones, since of their own free will hardly anyone will get so far from Moscow.
You can also get from the metro station "Bulvar Dmitriya Donskoy" (gray line) by bus 868K to the stop "Magazin Chameleon", there change to bus 71 or 49 and get off at the stop "Administrative building".
What and how you can buy
It is interesting that the sales of apartments did not stop even for a day, because the new developer says that there are no problems and there were no, there were only minor difficulties that were left behind, so the managers will be happy to find you an apartment in one of the buildings.
So that you have less doubts, you will definitely be offered a discount, for example, in October, the discounted price per square meter started at 45,000 rubles. There was also a 50% discount on pre-finishing when buying a three-room apartment. The storerooms have a 0% installment plan with an initial payment of only 20% of the cost.
What's next?
I didn’t like the area in which the Estet residential complex is being built, it is located along the road, on the other side of which there is a large-scale private sector, on the other side of the complex is the territory of the sanatorium, a neighbor from the West is the Klimovsky boarding house for the elderly and disabled , from the East - production facilities. Landscaped area. Within walking distance from the complex there is a kindergarten "Cinderella", but to the school on foot for 15-20 minutes. Several supermarkets within a kilometer, the nearest pharmacy is also there. When you arrive at a construction site, it does not seem at all that you have arrived home; it seems that this piece of land was chosen for construction quite by accident.
Ecology
Often, long-term construction projects are located in ecologically favorable areas, because they are being built where land is cheaper, which means it is far from civilization. But the residential complex “Estet” is an unpleasant exception, within a radius of 1.5 km, in addition to a harmless boiler house, there is an industrial enterprise “Narodny Plastics” and “Pelican” and very harmful treatment facilities in the village of Lvov.
Summing up
And again, disappointing results in the review of long-term construction, the more I meet equity holders from different objects, the more I am convinced that in front of the powerful in the world, an ordinary person is not a competitor. It is possible to achieve the justice that equity holders deserve by law, but it is very difficult and very time-consuming. The main thing is to be patient and wait, the only pity is that many do not wait.
pros
- new developer;
- promise change this year.
minuses
- DOLGOSTROY
- it's dangerous to believe promises
- not very nice area
Information about the residential complex "Estet" is provided by the portal "Novostroev.ru"
Apartments await their tenants in the Estet residential complex under construction, which is located in the Podolsk district of the Moscow region. Object address: Klimovsk city, Serpukhovskaya street, 1.
Advantages:
- Good transport accessibility of the residential complex: the Serpukhovskoe highway passes four hundred meters, and the Small Ring ("Betonka") is at a distance of two and a half kilometers.
- An attractive area from the point of view of ecology: two rivers flow nearby, there is a forest-park zone one and a half kilometers from the residential complex.
- There are several large job-providing companies in Klimovsk.
Flaws:
- Despite the distance of the city of Klimovsk from Moscow, apartment prices are not low.
- Lack of a Moscow residence permit.
- The developer often violates the delivery time of objects for up to six months.
More about the object
Developer - "Premier Development", the deadline for the complete commissioning of the object - the third quarter of 2016.
For buyers there is the possibility of mortgages from several banks, including Sberbank of Russia, VTB24, Bank of Moscow and others.
"Estet" is a comfort-class housing, which is a 14-storey monolithic brick houses with utilities. Apartments in them are from 36.17 to 106.88 square meters. All apartments have balconies or loggias, there is no decoration.
At the moment there are 10 apartments for sale from 35.51 to 78.92 square meters.
Infrastructure and transport accessibility
By private car to the residential complex, you need to go along the Old Simferopol highway. The distance from the city of Klimovsk to the Moscow Ring Road is about 20 kilometers.
The nearest metro stations are “Buninskaya Alley” (it will take about 40 minutes to get from it by transport), as well as other stations of the Butovskaya metro line and “Bulvar Dmitriy Donskoy”. In addition, from the residential complex you can take a minibus to the Yuzhnaya and Annino stations or by train from the Hryvno platform (at a distance of 1.1 kilometers from the new building) to the Tsaritsyno metro station or to the Kursk railway station.
Residents of "Esteta" will be able to use social and business infrastructure facilities in Klimovsk. The city has everything you need: children's educational institutions (kindergartens, schools), sports facilities, clinics and hospitals, pharmacies, art houses and various sections, shops, shopping centers, social institutions, banks and so on, as well as a branch of one of the higher educational institutions.
Restate Opinion
April 2018 At one time, we gave a reservedly positive assessment of the Estet residential complex in Klimovsk. As of the beginning of 2018, it might be worth revising. First of all, the forecasts about the development of local infrastructure did not come true: although Klimovsk is a small town (formerly, now it is part of Podolsk), the residential complex itself is located on the territory of a new, developing residential area, and development is proceeding at a leisurely pace. So there are still not enough social facilities nearby. The developer himself is in no hurry with construction - most of the buildings are at a high stage of completion, but have not yet been commissioned. It would seem that there are no obvious problems, but the delay in the commissioning of the object seriously worries the equity holders. These are disadvantages, and as for the advantages, they have not changed over the past two years: the residential complex still benefits from the proximity to the railway station and the relative accessibility of the urban infrastructure of Klimovsk. Also recently - apparently, this is due to the problems of the developer - another advantage has appeared: an attractive price.
January 2016 Residential complex with the imposing name "Estet" is being built in Klimovsk, at a fairly large distance from the Moscow Ring Road. The developer speaks about 20 km, local residents say that it is more likely 30 - then you need to go to a specific junction. So, the project will mostly attract residents of the Moscow region. Or those Muscovites who do not need to travel to the capital every day. Klimovsk is a comfortable city for permanent residence, it has its own production base, infrastructure is not bad by Moscow region standards, so there are those who want to move to new housing in the city itself. By the way, there is also competition in the housing market - there are several new buildings of varying age.
The residential complex has not been officially recognized as problematic, but real estate investors have been waiting for their apartments from 2015-2016. For them, the residential complex "Estet" has long been such, and repeated appeals to the authorities are proof of this. The administration of the Podolsk City District and the Ministry of Construction of the Moscow Region are involved in the process of overseeing this long-term construction. That is, on the one hand, everything seems to be under control, but on the other, everything still rests on the developer's lack of funds. The company "Premier Development" has been on the market for a long time, and it is known that it has difficulties not only with the residential complex "Estet". For example, of the existing projects of the developer, the deadlines were violated during the construction of the residential complex "Korolev". Both of these residential complexes are included by experts in the black list of new buildings in Moscow and the Moscow region.
What is the current situation? It is not so easy to assess it. It's the second half of 2019, and the latest photo reports on the state of affairs at the construction site on the developer's official website are dated March 2018. According to them, at 5 Serpukhovskaya Street, facade work continues, roofing is nearing completion, the installation of internal walls and partitions, as well as engineering equipment is nearing completion, and interior decoration has begun. The same can be said about building 5, building 1, only the facade work is at an initial stage here, and the work on the roof is still far from complete. Similarly (at the initial stage) installation of engineering equipment and interior decoration of the building. The commissioning of both houses is scheduled for the III quarter of 2019, but the credibility of this period raises doubts, to put it mildly. We will not be surprised if the deadline is postponed again.
The situation with the house 7 on Serpukhovskaya st. pleases more. It was delivered, but at what cost! At the cost of waiting, nerves, tears and endless work to draw attention to the problem. In total, the delay for this building was three years and one quarter.
In general, there is a feeling that the project is slowly but surely moving towards completion. Those who are going to buy an apartment here now (from a developer or by assignment) should, of course, keep in mind that the wait for their living space may still drag on. But in comparison with the first real estate investors, such a buyer will be in an immeasurably more advantageous position, because his expectation will be 2-3 years less.
Date of update 22 March 2017
As of March 2017, there are two news about the Estet residential complex: good and bad. Good - the complex is at a high stage of completion. The bad news is that he has been at this stage for a long time. The deadlines for the completion of all three houses under construction have been repeatedly postponed and there is still no exact understanding of when these objects will be put into operation.
The management of the city district (since 2015 it became part of Podolsk, becoming its new microdistrict) in February of this year reported that 180 million rubles were attracted for the construction of buildings, and it will be completed in the spring and summer of this year. But already in March the forecasts sounded not so optimistic. Today, both the city government and the developer company announces that the project will be fully commissioned in late 2017 - early 2018, and building 7, the readiness of which on the official website "Premier Development" estimated at 97%, will be commissioned this summer.
But every cloud has a silver lining. For the earliest possible attraction of funds for the completion of facilities "Premier Development" put up interesting prices for some apartments of all types. Moreover, housing can be bought with a pre-finishing finish, as well as ordering a finish from the developer.
The complex is being built in a new microdistrict, the social infrastructure is poorly developed here. The main advantages of the location are the railway station "Hryvno" within walking distance and the nearby forest.
A couple of other residential complexes are being implemented nearby: and. Also, the project can compete with the construction of which is being carried out in the village north of Klimovsk.
