The Zvezda residential complex is located a five-minute walk from the Zvezdnaya metro station. Construction began in 2012, and there was great interest in the facility. But over the past couple of years, there has been no positive news about the complex. Let's check why a promising project turned into a long-term construction.

The developer is Stroykorporatsiya LLC, established on January 19, 1998 (TIN 7826687478).

The founders of the company are: Center-Invest LLC with a share of 99% of the authorized capital; Bryndikov A.E. with a share of 1% of the authorized capital. The authorized capital is RUB 55,508,349. Director of the developer - Borovin A. M. In the Unified State Register of Legal Entities database at the time of writing this article on September 6, 2017, there is information about a pledge on the share of the founders in the authorized capital of the developer. The date of entry is 07/16/2013, the validity period expires on June 27, 2023. Before the start of construction of the Zvezda residential complex, the developer had experience in the construction and commissioning of multi-apartment residential buildings.

According to the information in the project declaration dated December 11, 2012, the Zvezda residential complex includes a multi-apartment 3-section 21-23-story residential building, as well as an underground parking for 95 cars. The building permit was received on August 13, 2012; the expected date for obtaining permission to commission is the 3rd quarter of 2014; changed to 4th quarter 2015; changed to March 2017. Number of apartments: 315. Planned cost - 1,071,000 thousand rubles; changed to 1,350,000 thousand rubles. Contractor: Elis-Stroy LLC.

At the end of 2014, the developer showed losses in the amount of 502 million rubles. At the end of 2015, the developer did not provide reports to the Rosstat authorities, however, the data of the interim balance sheets, which the developer reflected in the revisions of the project declaration in 2015, show that during 2015 the developer suffered significant losses in the amount of hundreds of millions of rubles.

Apartments from developers with promotions

Construction: either there or not

The last update of the developer’s official website on the Internet was dated August 2015. At this point, according to information on the website of Stroykorporatsiya Elis LLC, there are 10 unsold apartments in the Zvezda residential building. It can be assumed that by August 2017 all apartments in the building have been sold, and those apartments that appear on the market can be sold through assignments from the original shareholders.

There are no photographs of the construction of the house on the Alice website, the webcam does not work. Information on various social networks makes it clear that active construction of the residential complex was stopped in the spring of 2015.

On February 14, 2017, the construction committee of the St. Petersburg mayor's office held an off-site meeting dedicated to the completion of the construction of the Zvezda residential complex, with the participation of specialists from the construction committee, the St. Petersburg State Budgetary Institution "Construction Project Management", the general contractor and representatives of the initiative group of shared construction participants. According to the general contractor, at that time the installation of water supply and sewerage networks was completed, the State Unitary Enterprise Vodokanal St. Petersburg is expected to complete the tie-in into the city highway and fulfill the technical conditions. An act of acceptance for commissioning operation of the thermal input, heating center and internal heating systems was received. A certificate of compliance with technical conditions for power supply and an act of technological connection was received. In February, it was planned to submit documents to Rostechnadzor of the Russian Federation for permission to operate the electrical installation.

In addition, by this time the installation of elevator equipment had been completed, and preparations for its commissioning were underway. According to the developer, facade work was carried out, the heating circuit was closed, and the territory was improved.

Based on the results of the meeting, the general contractor was instructed to complete the work on the construction of the facade and installation of door blocks, landscaping the territory, and also complete the roofing of the parking lot by the end of February.

Commissioning of the facility was planned for the end of March 2017. However, as of the beginning of September 2017, the house has not been put into operation, and no work is being carried out at the site.

Under construction residential complex "Zvezda" is a typical problematic long-term construction.

Unpleasant details

Over the past year, the developer lost the courts, where the decision came into force, to collect debts from him in the amount of about 92 million rubles. In addition, the company lost court proceedings, the decisions of which entered into legal force, where it acted as a joint defendant along with other companies, as a guarantor for two loans received in. The total amount to be recovered, including from the developer, exceeds 2.8 billion rubles.

At the moment, this debt was purchased from Aptekarsky LLC under agreement of assignment of rights (claims) No. GKELIS/21072016 dated July 21, 2016, concluded between and Aptekarsky LLC. The appellate court replaced the plaintiff from Aptekarsky LLC to LLC. Thus, the developer now owes this amount to Aptekarsky LLC.

In mid-2016, a criminal case was initiated against the developer’s management under Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Fraud.”

On December 10, 2016, shareholders of the Zvezda residential complex went to a meeting agreed with the authorities on Trinity Square in St. Petersburg, where representatives of the construction committee arrived. Officials, in particular, reported that about 100 million rubles are needed to complete construction, but the developer does not have this money.

It makes no sense to talk about the corporate conflict between the founders of Alice Construction Corporation LLC Vadim Shtertser and Andrei Bryndikov, which is accompanied by legal claims against each other and the division of assets, an attempt at bankruptcy undertaken by the developer himself in mid-2016. This topic is well covered in the media.

Something else is important. The company has assets: shopping malls "Avenue", "Cosmos" and "Vladimirsky Passage", as well as a linoleum factory in Kaliningrad. However, these assets are claimed by Euroinvest Group of Companies, which is behind Aptekarsky LLC, which bought out the developer’s debt to Sberbank of Russia. The sale of the pledged property will help partially repay the debt to the creditor, but will deprive you of the funds necessary to complete construction.

Bankruptcy?

It is possible that the developer’s bankruptcy procedure will be resumed by a new creditor, since the previous creditor, who began it in mid-2016, formally suspended it. It can be assumed that this decision of the bank is related to the position of the authorities, because if the developer was declared bankrupt, the sold apartments would be transferred for sale to the bankruptcy estate, and after the sale, the funds received would be distributed among all creditors, and not just among shareholders.

An alternative is the participation of shareholders in arbitration processes to recognize their ownership rights to apartments purchased in residential complexes. Thus, shareholders could secure their apartments through legal procedures. However, even in this case, there is one unpleasant consequence for shareholders of the developer’s bankruptcy. After the developer is declared bankrupt and his business activities are terminated, the responsibilities for completing the construction of the residential building would pass to the shareholders themselves. It would be necessary to create a housing construction cooperative, contribute additional funds necessary for completion, and hire a contractor to do this work.

This is a very unfavorable development of events. The authorities understand that it is fraught with scandal, so the developer is probably given time to find the necessary funds and complete the house.

One way to put pressure on the developer is to initiate a criminal case. This is precisely what led to the on-site meeting in February 2017 with representatives of the construction committee and the developer, where the developer was given new deadlines for completing the work and putting the house into operation in March 2017.

However, until now (beginning of September 2017) construction has not been completed and the house has not been put into operation.

The only possible conclusion

Even if the Alice Construction Corporation finds the necessary funds to complete the construction of a residential building (which is not a fact, since the cost of creditors’ claims may exceed the value of the assets), in the absence of finances it is difficult to count on high-quality completion of the remaining work. All deficiencies will most likely have to be completed by the residents themselves through targeted contributions to the HOA. And there is a big difference in costs - painting the entrance, laying a curb or repairing engineering.

In addition, by law, the developer is required to bear warranty obligations on the house he built for 5 years after putting it into operation. It is obvious that the Alice Construction Corporation, which may soon cease to exist, is unlikely to be able to bear such obligations.

From people’s communications on social networks, it is clear that many of the works were completed by the developer back in mid-2015. This means that over the past two years the building has been practically abandoned with a partially closed circuit, that is, it was subject to temperature changes and moisture. During this time, some of the engineering systems or, for example, the roof could have fallen into poor condition. If, after putting the house into operation, you have to spend money on restoring the house, then the amount of such costs will not be comparable with the costs of painting the entrance, or installing a swing, which the developer will not install upon delivery. And the costs will also fall on the HOA, that is, on the residents of this house. Therefore, living in such an “unfinished” house, built with difficulty, will not be cheap.

In addition, at the time of writing this article in September 2017, there remains the risk of the resumption of bankruptcy proceedings by a creditor who wants to get his money back, with all the ensuing problems for equity holders described above.

We cannot recommend investing in the purchase of apartments in the Zvezda residential complex by assignment in such conditions.

The defrauded shareholders of the Alice construction corporation, which was building the Zvezda residential complex on Moskovskoye Shosse, held a meeting agreed with the authorities at the Solovetsky Stone on Trinity Square.

Shareholders demanded that the authorities exercise strict control over the completion of the long-term construction project “Zvezda” at 16 Moskovskoye Shosse, where 370 people bought apartments. The house was planned to be commissioned at the end of 2015, but Smolny extended the building permit until the end of 2016. In March of this year, the construction committee unexpectedly discovered misuse of money by the developer.

On Friday, April 15, they sent an open letter to Mrs. Matvienko, who is the Chairman of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation.

Hello Valentina Ivanovna! On behalf of the shareholders of the Zvezda residential complex, which is being built in St. Petersburg by the developer Alice Construction Corporation at the address Moskovskoye Shosse, building 16 lit. A, I kindly ask you to familiarize yourself with the sent materials and take the necessary measures to resume the investigation in these cases.

Unfortunately, the authorities of St. Petersburg - the Governor, the Construction Committee, the Prosecutor's Office, the Investigative Committee of our city - do not want to take part in the fate of our house and are not taking any decisive measures to influence the developer. Over the past year, we still receive endless unsubscribes and refusals; no one is interested in us with our problems.

There has been a halt in construction since April 2015, pathetic attempts to appease the Shareholders by carrying out minor work on installing windows abandoned at the construction site in January 2015. In February 2016. SK Elis and related companies (8 companies, including Vladimirsky Passage LLC, Avenue Shopping Center, Cosmos Shopping Center, etc.) prudently filed a statement of INTENT for bankruptcy with the Arbitration Court.

We, shareholders, understand that in this difficult matter they need their own bankruptcy manager. The developer company owes Sberbank 2.8 billion rubles, and Sberbank also filed 2 claims with the Arbitration Court for the return of loan funds. SK Elis had assets, and very profitable ones - plots of land, shopping malls, warehouses in the Leningrad region. But as a result of the targeted and carefully prepared withdrawal of assets from the company, endless schemes of assignment and re-registration to other persons, there are now no assets (which is why Sberbank was denied security for 2 claims).

The founders of IC Elis are Mr. Bryndikov A.E. And Mr. Shtertser sits in the shadows and does not want to personally meet with shareholders. In addition, at the end of the year the General Director was quietly changed - instead of Mr. Bryndikov, against whom a criminal case was opened, he became Mr. D.V. Kravtsov, also a person from the Elis SK team. Our house is small - only 315 apartments, one building. The readiness of the house today is 70%. The residential building agreements were concluded under 214 Federal Laws. In the building itself, at the moment, all apartments have been sold or are still being sold by assignment(there are many apartments in the building, judging by the latest extract from the Unified State Register, either registered to persons who worked in the management of the MBSP bank, and now work in the management of the St. Petersburg bank BFA and members of their families, or to a company associated with the developer and positioning itself as a company -General contractor LLC "Alice-Construction".

Construction Corporation SK Alice prudently submitted an application for another extension of the construction period until December 31, 2016, and has been successfully withdrawing its assets to this day, receiving a good profit from the rental of its shopping complexes. We, Shareholders, do not want to be left without our apartments. Or do no laws work in our country anymore?

Sincerely, Koroleva Olga Olegovna. My mobile phone 89213278776.

Yesterday we sent a letter to the Governor of St. Petersburg Georgy Sergeevich Poltavchenko. It was signed by 78 Shareholders. We kindly ask you, Valentina Ivanovna, to help us, we are hostages to clarify the relationship between both the former beneficiaries of the Alice Construction Corporation, and the complex relationship between the corporation and Sberbank, the trial with which is scheduled for April 4 and 12, and we are afraid of being left without apartments.

Let us remind you. Difficulties in the company began after the 2008 crisis and worsened about 1.5-2 years ago, market players say. However, the reasons for the financial problems are not mentioned. But their reflection can be found not only on auction sites, but also in court.

The delay in the transfer of apartments will be at least 1.5 years;

In St. Petersburg, the authorities do not help defrauded shareholders;

The money received from the sale of the Leader Group site was not used for construction;

The money received from renting out warehouse space to the Ax company (distributor of Luminarc cookware) also did not go towards construction;

According to an extract from the Unified State Register, more than 80% of the apartments were sold, which, based on the profitability of the construction business, should have been enough to complete the construction of the facility;

The founders, judging by the lack of movement at the construction site, do not intend to continue construction or are going to imitate construction;

Shareholders do not have mechanisms to force the founders (Bryndikov and Shtertser) to complete the house;

According to the project declaration, the residential complex was initially planned to be commissioned in the 3rd quarter of 2014. Now it is already promised to be commissioned at the end of this year, as indicated on the company’s website.

Last year, the company put up all its existing assets for sale, but only managed to sell the site on Poklonnaya Gora (it was acquired by Leader Group) as well as the Arsenal stadium on Metallistov Avenue. The “Vladimirsky Passage” shopping center and the “Avenue” shopping center, collectively valued at a billion rubles, were never sold - there were simply no buyers.

Despite the fact that the facility is approximately 70% complete, no active work has been carried out on it for about a year. At the same time, almost all the apartments have been purchased, which will complicate the search for another investor. Attempts to find out the fate of the project were unsuccessful: none of the telephone numbers listed on the Elis Insurance Company website, including the telephone number of the sales department, answered.

On April 7, Sberbank PJSC went to court with a demand to declare Stroykorporatsiya Elis LLC bankrupt. The Alice group of companies owes the credit institution about 3 billion rubles.

On February 18, the bank filed a lawsuit against Alice and other companies of the group for more than 1 billion rubles. On March 22, a claim was added to it against Alice, IG Hotel, Hotel LLC, Vladimirsky Passage LLC and S.K.E LLC for almost 1.8 billion rubles. On April 6, the court received a demand for another 200 million rubles.

The almost already completed bankruptcy will be the first high-profile one since the last crisis - after the companies Stroymontazh and Nevsky Monolit left the market in 2009. Although such developers as “Gorod”, “Petrotrest”, “Impulse” and “Sigma” have had serious troubles - and for several years now - the matter has not yet reached the point of recognizing their financial insolvency. As for SU-155, this company at the federal government level is recognized as a system-forming one in the housing market, and the authorities persistently assured that they would clearly not allow it to go bankrupt. The government's promises turned out to be completely unfounded.

The Moscow Arbitration Court, at the request of the Bank of Moscow, declared CJSC SU-155 Group of Companies insolvent (bankrupt). This is reported on the arbitration website.

The court came to the conclusion that CJSC “GC SU-155” is subject to bankruptcy, since for a period of more than three months the debtor is unable to satisfy claims to creditors for monetary obligations and it is impossible to restore the debtor’s solvency, according to the arbitration materials.

Bankruptcy proceedings have been opened against the company. According to the court decision, the total amount of creditors' claims is 1.7 billion rubles. It is established that the debtor has property sufficient to cover legal costs.

On March 18, the Arbitration Court of the Moscow Region introduced a surveillance procedure in relation to the SU-155. A case was also opened regarding non-payment of salaries to employees in the amount of more than 1 million rubles. At the beginning of September last year, it was reported that SU-155 put its headquarters in Moscow up for sale to cover debts.

Until 2015, SU-155 was considered the largest developer in Russia. In December 2015, it became known that the SU-155 would be transferred to the management of the Russian Capital Bank. It is he who is entrusted with the obligations to complete the construction of houses in different regions of Russia. As stated by the head of Russian Capital, Mikhail Kuzovlev, completion of the holding’s facilities is impossible without the bankruptcy of the company.

Reference:

"Alice Construction Corporation" was founded in 1998. Through Center-Invest LLC, it belongs to Curanum Holdings Limited, registered in Cyprus. In addition, the Alice group includes Vladimirsky Passage LLC, which manages the shopping center of the same name, and Hotel Investment Group LLC. The ultimate beneficiaries of companies are registered offshore. However, the owners of Alice are Andrey Bryndikov and Vladimir Shtertser.

In the Moscow region, the Alice construction corporation is building the Zvezda residential complex. A new building of variable number of floors (19-21 floors) with 315 apartments will be located in an already populated area, next to the Zvezdnaya metro station. On instructions from the editors of the site, I decided to visit the new building that is being built in such a beautiful location and find out how to become a “star” new resident.

Who is building?

Construction Corporation "Alice" has existed since 1998. Over the past five years, she has commissioned seven houses in St. Petersburg. She was not noticed in any high-profile scandals or legal proceedings. Of course, there were delays in delivery - a year and a half, but, firstly, during the crisis most developers had them, and secondly, in the end all the houses were completed.

I found information that the prosecutor’s office had claims against the developer regarding illegal clauses in the share participation agreements. The prosecutor's office opened five administrative cases, accusing the developer of including conditions in the contract that knowingly violated the Consumer Rights Protection Law. However, judging by discussions on the forums, Alice has a reputation as a stable and reliable developer.

As one of the shareholders figuratively writes, I quote (spelling and punctuation preserved): "Alice" is a well-known and not a young company for a long time. Many new developers have come to the St. Petersburg market, so this insurance company, which survived the crisis, against this background looks like a dinosaur that survived the Ice Age.". True, some are confused by the fact that now the company is building only the Zvezda residential complex, and it does not even have new projects in its plans. But this is just guesswork: maybe there are new projects, there’s just no information about them yet.

Internet intelligence

In general, the developer is not particularly open to information and tries to announce information to a minimum. Shareholders also write about this on the Internet, also citing the fact that company representatives are reluctant to enter into dialogue.

The Zvezda residential complex has a VKontakte group, but it is practically not updated - there are no topics there other than getting to know neighbors and carefully monitoring the slightest movements at a construction site with news at the “drilling rig has been moved” level. The latest news on the group’s “wall” was published in October 2013.

The developer's website contains the necessary documents, but there are no renderings or photographs of the construction progress. The selection of apartments on the website, according to the manager, is up-to-date - you can see layouts and prices, as well as sold, available and reserved apartments. This information is located in the “Prices” section.

But there is no search for an apartment by building or floor. There is a “Web Camera” section, but it says that the page is under development. The same answer when clicking on the “Selecting a house and apartment” section. In general, out of 6 tabs with information about the new building, only 3 are “working”: general information, address and prices, and only one small 3D picture. As you can see, the developer does not spoil buyers with information.

This is confirmed by the booklet, which consists of only 4 pages with the location and layout of the sections. It is interesting to note that for other already commissioned objects, the website contains more detailed information - there are even 3D projections and photographs of the construction progress.

Office visit

The developer's office is located a five-minute walk from the Novocherkasskaya metro station. Just be careful and do not confuse the desired office with another Alice division, which is located closer to the metro. And one more thing - do not go past the desired office, since the entrance with a sign is located somewhat to the side. The office is open only on weekdays from 10.00 to 20.00. Calling to make an appointment is quite possible, but it is better to do this in the first half of the day.

There are only three managers in the sales department, so when I showed up without an appointment at about 10.30, the meeting might not have taken place. However, the head of the sales department received me in his office. Judging by the amount of papers on his desk, he clearly had plenty of other things to do. Despite this, during the conversation he was focused on me and patiently, although succinctly, answered all my questions. Without asking me at the very beginning of the conversation, he provided a booklet and behaved calmly and politely throughout the consultation.

He agreed to my complaints about the lack of more detailed views of the house, but could not help. True, when I asked which of the previously built houses the Zvezda residential complex would be similar to, the manager readily named the Dominanta residential complex and explained in detail how I could get to it. I was presented with suitable apartment options - from studios to 4-room apartments.

However, it was not possible to find out details about the apartments in a personal conversation: the head of the department is polite, but as laconic as the company’s website. The areas of the apartments and their prices were rounded up, which is probably why I didn’t find studios with an area of ​​exactly 25 square meters on the website. m worth exactly 2.5 million rubles, which were discussed during the meeting. All options were presented only in words and, despite the fact that I was demonstratively slow to write down, the manager did not offer me any printouts.

What are they building?

The house itself, of three sections, is being built using brick-monolithic technology in the shape of the letter “G”. Sections one and two are 19 floors high and will be located perpendicular to Moskovsky Prospekt, and the third 21-story building will appear at an angle of 90 degrees to them and closer to Zvezdnaya Street.

External wall decoration is a ventilated facade system with an outer layer of porcelain stoneware slabs in two colors. The installation of double-glazed windows is provided, but there will be no glazing of the balconies. According to the manager, the project will be brought to the attention of shareholders, according to which they will have to glaze the balcony at their own expense. Interior decoration of apartments is also not provided.

According to the project declaration, the completion date for the house is the third quarter of 2014. Until this date, a building permit is valid, which will have to be extended in order to transfer the apartments to shareholders until December 31, 2014. This is exactly the period indicated in the DDU. So none of the shareholders are immune from the fact that instead of pleasant New Year's troubles they will have to deal with the acceptance of the apartment. However, these are also pleasant chores.

Considering the time required for finishing, it will most likely be possible to move into the house no earlier than spring 2015. If we talk about the quality of houses previously delivered by the developer, there are both positive reviews and complaints. As a certain shareholder noted about the quality of construction of one of the objects, I quote: “ The amphitheater is built strangely, in some places it’s good, in others there are shoals" According to reviews from other shareholders, upon acceptance of an apartment, reports of violations are drawn up, but the developer does not correct them. By the way, most buyers like the appearance of the houses of the Alice Insurance Company. But in terms of quality, there is only one conclusion - despite the comfort class declared by the developer, it tends more towards “economy”.

Social and cultural life

The location of the complex and especially the infrastructure are at a high level, since it is being built in a long-established area with rich infrastructure. The Zvezda residential complex is located very conveniently in relation to the Zvezdnaya metro station - not too close, but not too far - at a distance of 7 minutes at a regular pace. You only need to go two houses down the street. Lensovet and turn into the courtyard.

The abundance of shops on the first floors of buildings, such as the Continent, Prizma, and Zvezdny shopping centers, completely covers your shopping needs. On the other side of the Moscow Highway there is the Hero Cities Park, albeit with the Viva residential complex as an addition, the existing Gazprom sports and recreation complex and the Galaktika sports and entertainment complex under construction.

There is a school directly opposite the Zvezda, and across the courtyard in the same block there is a kindergarten. There is also a large selection of schools and kindergartens in the neighboring areas. The situation with parking is much worse. The new building provides underground parking for only 95 spaces, and the number of open parking spaces, according to the project declaration, is only 27. Of course, this is very little for 315 apartments.

The site with the complex will be literally squeezed into a dense environment of already erected buildings: a five-story building, a school, a nearby high-rise building with a fenced area, and another 2-story building, also fenced. In general, you shouldn’t count on empty parking spaces in yards. By the way, the developer will not fence off the Zvezda site - the owners will have to do this themselves. Parking spaces will be available for purchase only after the house is delivered at an estimated price of 1 million rubles.

How to buy?

Sales are conducted by the developer under an equity participation agreement (214-FZ). There is no agreement on the website, but they sent it to me by e-mail for review. I must say that the agreement is correct, takes into account the interests of both parties equally and contains only one dubious clause regarding registration.

According to this clause, the shareholder is obliged either, within 10 working days from the date of signing the contract, to submit documents for state registration, or to enter into an agreement for the provision of these services with the developer (the cost of the service is 5,000 rubles). If neither one nor the other is done, then “the obligations of the Parties arising from the Agreement are considered terminated without signing any additional agreements to it, and the Developer will have the right to sign and register a similar agreement for the Apartment specified in clause 1.1 of this Agreement, with any third party."

The shareholder can deposit money under the DDU either by bank transfer with payment of a commission, or in cash to the cash desk of IC "Elise" without a commission. It is possible to pay in installments until September 2014, but in this case the cost of the apartment will be 3-5% higher than with 100% payment.

The down payment, depending on the price of the apartment, can range from 10 to 50% of the housing price. But there is no opportunity to purchase an apartment with a mortgage. However, according to the manager, it will probably appear in 1.5-2 months. However, by this time the choice of apartments will obviously be smaller. By the way, the developer does not spoil the buyer with information here either - you won’t be able to find out anything about installment plans on the website: the “How to buy” section is also under development.

How much?

During negotiations at the developer’s office, I found out that so far there are all types of apartments - from studios to 4-room apartments. However, I cannot guarantee this at the time of publication of the article, because... Apartments are sorted out, in my opinion, well.

The cheapest studio with an area of ​​24.13 sq. m is on the ground floor and costs 2 million 718 095 rubles, but with height the cost of housing increases approximately.

One-room apartments (from 41.23 sq. m to 42.32 sq. m) remained at prices starting from 3,843,378 rubles. Among the two-room apartments, many have already been sold, but of the remaining options, the largest number of apartments with an area of ​​62.27 square meters. m. Their cost also varies greatly depending on the floor: the first floor will cost 4,836,787 rubles.

The choice of “three rubles” is approximately the following: from 83.55 square meters. m at a price of 5 million 681 000 rubles. on the ground floor up to 89.7 sq. m. m on the third floor at a price of 6 million 523 879 rubles. 4-room apartments with an area of ​​109.11 square meters remain for sale. m from 8 million 292 317 rubles on the first floor to 9 million 995 416 rubles on the seventeenth.

The price of apartments in the Zvezda residential complex, taking into account the brick-monolithic construction technology and good location, looks attractive. If we compare with the prices of the Viva residential complex, which is not so well located and is being built using improved, but still panel technology, then the Zvezda residential complex will have an advantage in terms of the cost per square meter in 2-3-room apartments.

On the other hand, apartments in the Viva residential complex are rented out already finished. In general, I would say that the Zvezda residential complex has investment potential, especially in terms of one-room apartments. But it will only be implemented if the developer delivers the new building without delay.

Geometry of apartments

Since there is a limited number of apartments left, I will only consider those layouts that are still available for sale. For example, in studios with an area of ​​24.13 sq. m, starting from the second floor, there are balconies, and the room itself has an area of ​​17.6 sq. m. m has a shape close to a square. The kitchen area is partially separated from the living area by a partition. An interesting point: the area of ​​the balcony increases with the floor, but a washing machine is unlikely to fit in the bathroom.

One-room apartments with an area of ​​41.23 sq. m remained only on the first floors, there are no balconies there. Square kitchen measuring 10.82 square meters. m, a separate bathroom and a ventilation chamber located in the toilet are clear advantages of the layout. But the room has an area of ​​19.94 square meters. m has the shape of a “glass”, which impairs illumination, in addition, the door is located almost in the middle of the long wall, thereby reducing its usable area.

In another version of the “odnushka”, with an area of ​​42.32 square meters. m, the windows of the room (18.56 sq. m) and the kitchen (12.43 sq. m) face different sides. But if a large rectangular kitchen is well lit due to the location of the window on the long side, then the rectangular room has the same drawback with insolation as the previous apartment. The hall (6.64 sq. m), although it has a narrow “neck” for entering the bathrooms and kitchen, is itself wide enough to place furniture there.

"Kopeck piece" with an area of ​​62.27 square meters. m are presented in only one layout option. Obvious disadvantages: all windows, except for the exit to the balcony, are on one side; combined bathroom measuring only 4.19 sq. m. Considering the area, a washing machine simply will not fit into the bathroom - all that remains is a spacious hall of 10.44 sq. m. m - in the end, it was because of it, together with the ventilation chamber, that the bathroom turned into a closet. But a square kitchen measuring 11.31 square meters. m and a room of 15.07 sq. m fully meet the level of comfort.

"Treshki" with an area of ​​83.55 sq. m remained only on the first floor, again there are no balconies. The advantages of the layout of these apartments are: a kitchen measuring 12.26 square meters. m, windows on two sides, the presence of two bathrooms and a separate room for a storage room, albeit unsuccessfully tucked away at the end of the apartment. But the shape of the rooms with an area of ​​13.56 square meters. m, 15.43 sq. m and 17.02 sq. m - the same elongated rectangle.

Although, to be fair, I will say that the three-ruble note is 89.7 square meters. m, all rooms have a slightly larger area and a better shape. The storage room is already located next to the front door, and only the lack of access to the balcony from the kitchen prevents this apartment from being considered completely comfortable. The same can be said about the layout of a 4-room apartment with an area of ​​109.11 square meters. m.

Summary

The advantages of the new building are obvious: excellent location in a populated area, where all the necessary infrastructure is at hand; the reliability of the developer, who, although building little, has survived the crisis; adequate housing prices and relatively good apartment layouts.

Now the “fly in the ointment”: obvious signs of compaction development; problems with free parking; complaints about the quality of construction, the inability to buy an apartment with a mortgage. Not exactly a minus - but the lack of repairs, even preparation for finishing, will delay housewarming for a long time and add costs to future residents. In general, the Zvezda residential complex receives “8” points.

For construction Alice Corporation The Zvezda residential complex has become a real stumbling block. From 2008 to 2013, the Alice Construction Corporation commissioned seven residential buildings with a total area of ​​about 180 thousand square meters. m, as well as the shopping and hotel complex "Vladimirsky Passage" and the shopping center "Cosmos". In the three years preceding the start of construction of Zvezda, which began in August 2012, the developer commissioned three houses even slightly earlier than the deadlines recorded in the project declarations.

Initially, the developer planned to commission Zvezda in the third quarter of 2014; construction was announced in accordance with Federal Law-214. On August 4, 2015, the deadline was postponed to the fourth quarter of 2015, and on November 10, 2015 - to the fourth quarter of 2016. During the period from October 5, 2012 to October 29, 2014, the estimated cost of construction according to the project declaration increased from 1,071.12 million rubles to 1,305 million rubles. From December 11, 2012, the contractor was Elis-Stroy LLC, from April 8, 2013 - Alice Construction LLC, from December 3, 2013 - S.K.E. LLC. The latter is currently in the process of liquidation. All of the companies listed above are part of the Alice Group of Companies.

Not everything is going smoothly for the developer from a financial point of view. Invariably, all changes to the project declaration include data on the state of affairs of the developer, according to which Alice constantly has accounts payable in the amount of about 2-4.5 million rubles. Which, in principle, is normal for the period when construction begins, but raises questions at such a late stage. Considering that the developer, according to the project declaration, at the beginning of construction worked at a profit, and now at a loss, we can state that the company has financial problems.

Apparently, the company’s real problems began somewhere at the end of 2015; from that moment on, changes to the project declaration ceased to be published on the developer’s official website, but of course what led to them arose earlier, and at that time only clearly manifested itself. In November 2015, rumors appeared about personnel changes in the management of Alice and even about the transfer of the house to another developer. And, indeed, the company’s general director has changed, the Alice-Stroy subsidiary has been declared bankrupt by the court, and the founders have started legal proceedings among themselves. In February 2016, it became known that six companies included in the Alice corporation filed applications to the court to declare themselves bankrupt. Later it became known about the claim of Sberbank for 3 billion rubles against the Alice Construction Corporation and related companies. As it turned out, the company took out a loan secured by commercial real estate. In March, the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation filed a claim for bankruptcy of the companies included in the Elis Group of Companies. In April, it became known that the company, which filed a claim for its own bankruptcy in February, withdrew it.

In June, it became known that the shareholders' patience had run out and they filed a complaint with the prosecutor's office - the delay in delivery was already 20 months, and the readiness of the house was estimated by the Construction Committee at 70%. Currently, the developer’s office informed us that the house is planned to be commissioned by March 31, 2017, the external work is almost completed, and communications inside the house are underway. But it remains unclear how and at what cost the developer will do this.

It is not surprising that the Zvezda residential complex was included in the list compiled by market experts: the complex received good ratings for the location and the project itself and was recognized as a high-risk investment. You can buy housing in this area in more reliable new buildings, among which we can name, and. In the latter, by the way, only apartments are sold, but the cost of such real estate is lower than that of competitors in location.

Updated October 12, 2015

Things aren't going very well at this company facility so far. "Alice". The postponement of the delivery date has already become a fait accompli and there is a possibility (the sales department does not rule it out) that the delivery of the house will smoothly move to 2016. In general, despite the fact that in general the developer has a good reputation and there are enough built residential buildings in the company’s portfolio, in history "Elisa" There were some delays in terms of delivery of objects.

If you evaluate the location Residential complex "Zvezda", then it is, by the standards of residential areas, very attractive. Although this part of the Moscow region is far from the “golden square”, it is still a place that is also in demand. The quarter has been built up for a long time, the courtyards are green, the necessary social infrastructure is nearby. The station has many shopping facilities, including a large shopping and entertainment complex. Not far from the residential complex there are educational and educational institutions, sports facilities, etc. By the way, in this regard, this point is interesting. The site on which it is being built "Star", is located in the depths of the block and previously this place (according to media reports) was occupied by a kindergarten, which was later demolished. Now there is a high-rise building here. If we call a spade a spade, then this is a compact development, which, frankly speaking, cannot please local residents. In this case, this is not a reproach to the developer, but rather a statement of not very well-thought-out urban planning decisions that were made by the city authorities in the post-perestroika years.

If we talk about the environmental situation, it is, of course, not ideal, but far from the worst. The proximity of two highways with heavy traffic (Prospect and) is, of course, a minus. At the same time, neighboring houses are protected "Star" from noise and dust, there are a lot of trees in this quarter (as mentioned above), plus the Hero Cities Park is nearby - an excellent place for walks and sports.

The most important plus "Stars"- walking distance to the metro, which distinguishes it from many new buildings in residential areas. Otherwise, transport accessibility can be described as average. The Ring Road interchange on the Moskovskoye Highway is not far away, which is, of course, convenient. At the same time, there are plenty of traffic jams during rush hours in this part of the city. They suffer from them Moscow highway, and Danube Avenue, and . But in fact, this is a general situation on the outskirts of the city, where traffic flows from the outskirts of the metropolis converge during rush hours.

If we talk about the advantages of a new building, it is worth mentioning good views. Thanks to "Star" higher than neighboring houses, from the upper floors of the complex a beautiful panorama of Moscow and neighboring areas opens.

The apartments in the building are generally standard in layout, but quite spacious. Kitchens in many apartments are in accordance with modern standards, allowing them to be used as an additional room - a dining room. The hallways have comfortable niches for storing wardrobes. The variety of apartments and well-developed social sphere allow us to evaluate this complex as quite suitable for a wide variety of categories of buyers.

In terms of living comfort, one more point must be taken into account. IN "Star" over three hundred apartments. At the same time, the built-in parking is designed for only 95 cars. A certain number of remaining cars will be accepted by the local parking lot, but nevertheless, a shortage of parking spaces can be predicted. Thus, this is one of the questions that will likely confront new car owners.

Selection of apartments that can still be bought in Residential complex "Zvezda", very limited. If we talk about alternative options, then nearby there are such new buildings as “House on Moskovskoe Shosse, 3 lit. D", etc.

The date for its consideration has not yet been determined. And in general, it is quite difficult to predict when a developer will officially go bankrupt - such cases can take years to be considered. For shareholders of the only Alice facility under construction - the Zvezda residential complex on Moskovskoye Shosse - the situation is quite confusing. It is quite possible that they will have to complete the construction of the house themselves.

What to take from them?

The actions of IC Elis, of course, did not come as a surprise to many. About the company's problems and the three-billion dollar lawsuit from Sberbank. Realizing that there was no way to pay off the country’s largest bank, the developer, as expected, acted proactively. Another thing is how all this will now affect shareholders.

In accordance with the Federal Law “On Insolvency...”, the Arbitration Court, if it does not find signs of fictitious bankruptcy, will have to introduce a monitoring procedure, the task of which is to preserve the debtor’s property, as well as compile a register of creditors’ claims. As a rule, the procedure lasts seven months, after which the court introduces external management, removing the top management of the potential bankrupt from management. The final stage of the bankruptcy procedure is bankruptcy proceedings - this is where the story of a legal entity usually ends.

There are special rules for the activities of construction companies that raise funds from citizens. The main difference: the claims of equity holders or shareholders are satisfied in preference to the main creditors of the developer for monetary obligations. Ahead of them “in line” are only employees of a bankrupt company if they owe wages.

In this case, shareholders of the Zvezda residential complex can choose one of three possible strategies provided for by law. The first is to create your own housing construction cooperative, to which the court will transfer ownership of the unfinished project (by the way, approximately 70% complete). But then buyers who have already paid for their home once will inevitably have to incur additional costs - and considerable ones.

The second way is to find a company willing to complete the construction at its own expense. True, the likelihood of such a development is extremely low, since all the apartments in the Zvezda residential complex have already been sold.

Finally, residents may not complete anything, but simply demand that the money previously paid be returned to them. It would seem to be the most win-win option, given that assets worth about a billion rubles remained in the ownership of IC Elis. However, it's not that simple.

Everything is pledged

The situation is further complicated by the fact that it is not entirely clear who the ultimate beneficiary of IC Elis is. The city media previously mentioned the names of Vadim Shtertser and Andrey Bryndikov (CEO of the company). Meanwhile, a source in Sberbank told BN that “Ilya Rodionov and Maxim Weinberg are currently positioning themselves as the leaders of Alice Group of Companies, they are also negotiating with shareholders and creditors, but there are no attempts to save the business and restructure they do not undertake debts.”

It is known that Maxim Weinberg was previously the executive director of the Moscow jewelry holding Adamas, which is also facing bankruptcy. Ilya Rodionov is a non-public figure and little is known about his activities today.

Let us note that there have been no high-profile bankruptcies of well-known developers in St. Petersburg for about five years. Basically, companies that were declared insolvent were. However, the examples of SU-155 and GC Gorod show that for a home buyer to turn into a defrauded equity holder, the developer’s bankruptcy is absolutely not necessary.
