UrBC, Yekaterinburg, October 6, 2017. KORTROS Group took part in the largest national high-rise building forum 100+ Russia, RSG Abademicheskoye’s press service reports.

KORTROS Corporation’s Director for PPP Dovran Garagozov presented his report at the forum’s plenary session (Building Outside the Box).

Garagozov said the idea for their project, Akademicheskiy District in Yekaterinburg, was to combine apartment buildings of varying heights (seven to twenty-five storeys high), which would take care of several factors at once. Firstly, this offers customers more choices: some home owners prefer to live in low-rise buildings, while others would much rather enjoy a panoramic view from their windows. Secondly, the urban landscape looks anything but monotonous, and the skyline looks impressive with spectacular architectural highlights. Akademicheskiy’s one competitive advantage lies in the fact that it offers all kinds of unusual buildings to buy a home in.

The district can also boast well-developed infrastructure. There are schools and kindergartens and a multi-faceted security system. Interestingly, the developer takes care not to make the customers pay extra for the infrastructure components.
