Yulia Makarova, leading lawyer of the property and liability relations practice at NUS “Amoulex”, explains that there was no need to sell the new building of the Central Telegraph at the auction. “This is not about the fulfillment of statutory requirements, but about the owner’s attempt to show transparency and efficiency,” she explains. The decision to transfer the asset to the subsidiary structure, Ms. Makarova, explains the fiasco in an attempt to sell the property on the free market for 2 billion rubles. In her opinion, the deal is indeed rather formal in nature and is aimed mostly at not disrupting the portfolio optimization program. “Market participants were not willing to pay the stated price, but Rostelecom decided not to change either the approved property sale program, or the price due to administrative costs or simply because of the unwillingness to disappoint shareholders,” says Makarova.

The area of the object is 12 thousand square meters. m, of which 6 thousand square meters. m rented.
