By now 6 buildings have been completed with a total living area of 56,400 sqm (1,139 flats). The construction of Phases 3 and 4 is currently in full swing. The whole compound is to be implemented by the end of 2010. Convenient and ergonomic small-area layouts designed specially for Pulkovsky Posad attract well-deserved interest from the buyers. Traditionally, panel houses are delivered with complete fit-out. Structural faзade glazing of loggias and balconies is provided as well as area landscaping.
