Business with friends father

"News" tried to understand why the son of the founder of "Yandex" has decided to do business is not peculiar to him - the real estate. Apparently, the younger Volozh decided organizovats joint business with his father's partners.

It turned out that Arkady Volozh is the long-standing friendly relations with Andrew Grinev, the sole owner of the company "State Development", which is engaged in development of premium property, including the construction of a residential complex on the bank of the Moskva River in the prestigious area of ​​"Golden Mile".

In 2002 they established HOA "The Monastery", which is close to the new office of the company "Yandex" and "State Development".

From 2006 to 2010, "Yandex" has rented office in a former textile factory in Moscow at Samokatnaya, 1, building 21. This building is listed among the projects that the company was engaged in "State Development", and at various times it was owned by an affiliate of Andrey Grinev companies.

Company "State Development" owns "ArtHouse" projects, "ArtKvartal" hotel in Vietnam and the castle in the Czech Republic.

"ArtKvartal" -masshtabny project in the city center with residential houses, art centers and offices. Project initiative, which hookedYerzhan Sergei Sobyanin, belongs created in 2012, "Union of creative territories," in which management includes André Green (CEO of "State Development"), Sergei dozen (head Artplay Design Center) and Sofia Trotsenko (director of the Center for Contemporary Art "Winery") .

In 2014, they increased the leased area of ​​32 thousand sq. M. m to 53.5 sq. m. m. In November last year reported a possible repurchase of the company "Yandex" of the business center "Red Rose".

Development business Jr. Volozh

According to the register, in 2009, Catherine Levintova Ltd. Establishes "California". About Levintovoy only know that it is an employee of the company "State Development". According to registration data, "California" specializes on investments in property, Strawstruction, purchase and sale of real estate, investing in securities, lease of property, creation of resources on the Internet. No website, no more information was not found on this company.

However, as found out "Izvestiya", the company owns the premises on the fifth floor with a total area of ​​about 2 sq. M. m in the business center MOD Design building at Small Konyushkovskaya Lane, 2. The rest of the building is owned by several affiliated with the "State Development" companies. The areas in the business center are rented, there is also a room, where the events dedicated to creativity and design. Several times the company "Yandex" held a presentation of its new services.

2 years after the creation of the company "CA", in February 2011, Leo Volozh gained 84%, while the remaining 16% - Irina Dashkova it, as well as the first owner, an employee of "State Development".

According to financial analyst group of companies "Finam" Timur Nigmatullin, in December 2015 the market value of the company is not less than 140-180 million rubles.

-In 2011, the segment of real estate was attractive for investment against the background of the period ultrasoft monetary policy of the Federal Reserve System, which stimulated demand for assets in developing countries and because of the strong ruble and the Russian economy growing, - says Nigmatulin.

How do I find "News", December 9, 2015 Jr. Volozh sold controlling interest - 56% of its share Leonid Velichansky also affiliated with the "State Development".

- In 2015, real estate investment began to depreciate against the strengthening of capital outflows from emerging markets. Of course, said the devaluation of the ruble and falling demand for such assets due to the recession in the Russian economy - says Nigmatulin. - Based on the dynamics of financial indicators, assessment of the market value of a few years would grow by 3-5 times.

According to media expert Anton Korobkov-Zemlyansky, Volozh Jr. has sold part of its stake in the company "CA" for the sake of another of his business - service delivery MoscowFresh farm products.

- I think that Volozh decided not occupiedmatsya the business that in the foreseeable future will not bring much profit, and brought the money in another business. He just found another niche, which is more interesting and promising, especially with regard to sanctions and the trend of import substitution - says Korobkov-Zemlyansky. - Farm products, of course, all Russian. Many people looking for restaurants and similar services, with convenient logistics, good quality. I think Volozh saw here a free niche and decided to go into this business.

A few days after a deal to sell stake Volozh has been issued officially, the Department of Municipal Property of Moscow filed in the Moscow Arbitration Court lawsuit against the LLC "CA" for the recovery of debts and penalties amounting to more than 2 million rubles. The press service of the Department of "Izvestia" reported that the lawsuit filed in connection with non-payment of rent from the beginning of 2011. They were assured that tried to negotiate out of court, giving 23 March 2015 a complaint with a request to pay the debt. However, the conditions were not met, so the department had Obraos the court. The meeting is scheduled for February 17 this year.

- In my experience, in such disputes department of Moscow city property often wins. The court's decision could happen without the presence of the defendant in the proceedings, if properly notified, - explained "Izvestia" Candidate of Legal Sciences Alexey Sirenko. - One of the reasons why the rent has not been paid, may be an extreme rate hike. When a contract is always indicated that once a year the property department has the right to increase the rental rate at its discretion. Another reason could be that the Department under the terms of the rental value does not take into account that the respondent company is a small business entity that has certain benefits for rental property. Another reason could serve as a crisis. The company has just run out of money and had nothing to pay rent.
