01 June 2009

A Plus Estate (a subsidiary of LSR Group) has signed new rent contract for prime commercial property in “Orlov” office center, which belongs to “Paradny Kvartal” complex. The new tenant – Russian-Finnish clinic “Scandinavia” will occupy 432,8 sq. m on the ground floor of the 4-storey office building in “Paradny Kvartal” – the first luxurious neighborhood in St. Petersburg, which is being constructed by other company of LSR Group - OJSC “Construction Corporation “Renaissance of St. Petersburg”.

According to the management of “Scandinavia”, the new clinic will possess the most contemporary medical equipment and the best specialists will take care of health of children and adults. The clinic will provide various kinds of diagnostics, including laboratory researches as well as pediatrician and maternity related services.

Yuri Ilyin, CEO of A Plus Estate commented:

«Of course, we welcome all key tenants, but “Paradny Kvartal” is a special case. This complex includes both commercial and residential real estate and we try to attract such companies as tenants which will increase its attractiveness and make life and working conditions there more comfortable. That is why among the tenants in “Paradny Kvartal” besides of “Scandinavia” clinic there are companies such as German law firm “Beiten Burkhardt” and representative office of one of the large banks (rent contract is in the process of signing). I think that this new rent contract demonstrates that high-end real estate in the best areas of the city, such as properties managed by A Plus Estate, is still in demand.
