"The popularity of skyscrapers in Moscow is steadily growing - only last year 11 projects with towers of 100 meters and more were brought to the primary market. The concept of a liquid high-rise project is invariably a "city within a city" with everything necessary for a comfortable life for residents, including infrastructure within walking distance. In addition, it is convenient to form extensive neighborhood spaces next to such buildings", - said Zhanna Makhova, Deputy General Director for Strategy and Product Development of MR Group.

"Point development projects on the Moscow primary market (excluding the elite segment, where this format prevails) are very rare. Only about 10% of the total volume of supply in the capital is realized in such new buildings. At the same time, the most demanded complexes of this format are high-rise residential buildings with affordable view lots and rich internal infrastructure", - said Christina Nedrya, Director of Commercial Management of STONE.

Also, customers are attracted to view apartments in attractive locations", - concluded the expert.
