Cannes will host the 29th MIPIM international real estate exhibition on March 13 – 16, 2018, with two Moscow nominee projects. Zaryadye Park will compete for the MIPIM Awards-2018 in nomination The Best Urban Regeneration Project, while the Luzhniki project is short listed for The Best Restored Object. The VTB Arena Park project, which was the first Russian project awarded as the The Best Project in Russia in 2014, is wishing good luck to its colleagues and fellow citizens.
Senior Vice President of VTB Bank and the head of VTB Arena Park Andrei Peregoudov, “It is as if we are participating in a track race and want to give our colleagues from Zaryadye and Luzhniki our baton that we received at MIPIM four years ago. To enter into the short list of nominees here, at the most reputable competition of the European and world real property, is already prestigious and honorable achievement. But you always want for more in such moments. What can be better than winning the competition from other strong competitors, and moreover, to win on their territory and under their judging! For our project, for VTB Arena Park, such moment happened in 2014. It was extremely important for us to receive this award, to show that we are not just a successful project in Moscow and Russia, but also a respected one in the international market. As a result, it helped us in our sales as well as in finding foreign partners such as Hyatt, which hotel started its operation in our territory in December, 2017. The MIPIM award became the acknowledgement and confirmation of our successful development model – the model of integrated urban development, creation of high-quality urban environment. We are restoring the legendary, one of the Europe’s oldest football stadiums – the Dynamo Stadium (the first match is scheduled for the beginning of June) and practically creating a unique social cluster for Moscow citizens and visitors suitable for life, work, sports and leisure. On the threshold of the next MIPIM, we wish our colleagues from Zaryadye Park and Luzhniki to catch our baton and win. Good Luck!”
