Construction is being carried out by the Georesurs company, which until the summer of 2018 was one-third owned by Artem Chaika (the son of the plenipotentiary representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the North Caucasian Federal District), and the remaining share belongs to the Tashir Group of Companies of Samvel Karapetyan.
The administration of the Mytishchi district leased 25 hectares of land in the Losinyir Island National Park to Georesurs LLC for a modest fee of 130 million rubles per year.
The fee is really small, considering that the project budget is more than $300 million.
Construction was repeatedly stopped because the All-Russian Popular Front, a number of State Duma deputies, and residents of the Mytishchi district opposed construction on the territory of Losiny Ostrov.
But on May 15, 2024, the judge of the Moscow Region Arbitration Court, Zhelonkin, decided that the lands of the national park are not the lands of the national park at all, but the lands of the city of Mytishchi. The judge “recognized the Russian Federation’s ownership of 25 hectares of land” leased by Georesurs LLC as absent.
Therefore, there can be no obstacles to the construction of a shopping center.
Hundreds of piles have already been driven into the foundation. There will be a shopping center!
