2024 Author: Howard Calhoun | [email protected]. Last modified: 2023-12-17 10:16

A lot can be said about any long-standing company, especially about this one, because the reviews about Leader-Invest date back to 1993. The company is part of the structure of the financial and industrial holding AFK Sistema, and this is also the most important indicator in drawing up an opinion on the organization's capabilities. Reviews about "Leader-Invest" relate primarily to its main specialization - the construction of housing, which is located mainly in the center of the capital or very close to it and belongs to the business class.

Two directions

The development subsidiary of AFK Sistema is an investor in projects and independently builds business and premium residential complexes. Reviews about "Leader-Invest" say that seventy-five percent of the shares of MBI ("Moscow Business Incubator") belong to thisof the company, and MBI manages all the real estate of the Nagatino i-Land business park. The official website emphasizes the connection with AFK Sistema as its structural unit, and since 1993 this holding has incorporated many strong companies.

This is MTS-Bank and MTS itself, Medsi - a machine-building holding, as well as the entire structure of RTI-Systems. And that is not all. AFK Sistema includes Birnopharm (a very large pharmaceutical company), Bashneft, retail chains (for example, Detsky Mir and others), VAO Intourist, as well as many organizations from the field of mass communications - Cosmos -TV", "Stream" and other TV companies. Reviews of "Leader-Invest" note that the development structure in "System" is also not one, but the largest. Previously, Sistema Hals was larger, but it was ceded to VTB during the 2008 crisis.

Chapter

Founded AFK Sistema V. P. Yevtushenkov, who, judging by information from open sources, owns a controlling stake in the holding. It is simply impossible to determine the rest of the owners, since all securities are traded on the London Stock Exchange, and anyone can buy and sell them again, which happens. Born in 1948, Vladimir Yevtushenkov was given the opportunity to receive two excellent higher educations: the Mendeleev Moscow Chemical Technology Institute (1978) and the Lomonosov Moscow State University (Department of Economics - 1980). This allowed him to make a truly brilliant career: from the foreman toplastics plant to the head of the Moscow City Executive Committee for Science and Technology.

Changes in the country brought Yevtushenkov only good. He created the joint-stock financial corporation Sistema. The result of this man's activity is impressive: Forbs gives him the twentieth line among the richest people in Russia, and Fortune Global 500 gave 308th place to the holding he created, in terms of revenue. Judging by the success of the corporation, there should be no weak segments in its structure. This is also evidenced by the reviews of Leader-Invest employees.

What and how to build

The company presents the capital with unique residential buildings in the districts of old Moscow. The location is almost always exceptional, the architecture is author's, the planning solutions are functional, and therefore people of a certain circle are attracted to buyers. Each new project is noted by Leader-Invest employees as the brightest event in the life of this district of Moscow.

The company is also building business centers, improving management standards in commercial real estate, which changes the idea of the ideal office and enables business to develop most successfully. The company usually selects its employees with high quality, and therefore reviews about the Leader-Invest employer are rarely unfavorable. They will be discussed below.

Participation in renovation

Now the capital is in the grip of renovation unrest, and the company is ready to help the city with its renovation programs. This is the most discussed topic in the real estate market today:these problems are voiced on television, radio, and in the press. The Internet is also full of the most diverse statements on this subject.

The Vesti. Nedvizhimost portal did not stand aside, at the end of August 2017 a conference was held dedicated to Moscow renovation, where both the authorities and developers spoke. Victor Cherkassky, vice-president of the company spoke on behalf of the capital's developers. In this regard, a huge number of reviews about the Leader-Invest company were received, and photos from the conference were published in all publications.

Performance

In his speech, Viktor Cherkassky emphasized that Leader-Invest already has experience in similar programs, and therefore can offer the most effective methods in the realities of today's reality of interaction between developers and government. Reviews about the company "Leader-Invest" among consumers are always positive, and therefore the experience gained must be applied. The main feature of the previous program is the joint implementation of housing, that is, houses for the resettlement of Muscovites from demolished housing were built not only by the city, but to a large extent by developers who gave the city an agreed part of the premises in the buildings that they erected.

That is why the implementation went at such a high pace, and the resettlement took place in waves: residents were resettled in parts, and while dilapidated housing was being demolished, houses were built according to the plan for the next part of the settlers. Now the situation is somewhat different. The city took over everything - both construction andimplementation. However, according to the feedback from JSC "Leader-Invest" employees, the city is unlikely to be able to sell these huge amounts of real estate. We need a particularly powerful system for sales, government agencies are not intended for such a role, and they should not be doing this at all. It is necessary to give each case to professionals, according to Viktor Cherkassky. Numerous comments and feedback from Leader-Invest employees support their vice president in everything.

About company

The readiness of the company to assist in the renovation Viktor Cherkassky reinforced the information that the experience is more than sufficient, there are many opportunities, and there are successful projects in all areas of the city and under a variety of conditions. Only in the first half of 2017 the company celebrated the commissioning of eleven new facilities, in the third quarter, projects for the development of territories in the complex will be implemented: nine hectares on Lobachevsky Street, more than twenty-two - in the Nagatinskaya floodplain.

Today, Leader-Invest's diversified portfolio includes more than forty-five projects - at various stages of implementation or design. Their total area is three million square meters. Among the works of the company - the complex of apartments "House on Lyusinovskaya" with a two-level parking, a monolith of twelve and thirteen floors; also monolithic "House on Izumrudnaya" - 21st floor, underground parking and free planning; project class "business" - "House onSamarinskaya" on twelve floors with parking and ceilings up to four meters.

Reviews

All of the above new buildings are intended for we althy buyers, as they are located in a quiet center and represent the rarest infill development in Moscow these days. When reading the reviews of Leader-Invest JSC, it is easy to attribute completely alien to it, since there is practically a namesake of this company in the real estate market - the Leader holding from St. Petersburg, which is now very active in Moscow territories. These organizations are completely different, they have nothing in common, except for the profession.

Reviews about the developer "Leader-Invest" even on numerous forums are rare, because they build expensive housing, and we althy owners will not contact a company that does not build enough quality. Accordingly, they rarely write reviews. The developer has already been thanked with money for the purchased housing, what else does the Leader-Invest company need? Reviews of equity holders are almost impossible to find. On this occasion, we can only say that the housing is certainly worthy, the building plots received are magnificent (for sure, it cannot do without some kind of company secret: not every developer gets the opportunity to implement projects in the Central Administrative District of Moscow).

On the construction market

But the Leader-Invest company is very well known in the construction market. Feedback from managers and this developer, and employees of many other companiesthis is noted quite often. Since there are quite a lot of expensive projects implemented, it would be strange if no one knew about the developer.

These projects are only comfort, business and premium housing and a lot of work done in terms of commercial real estate (one business park on the site of the ZIL plant is worth something). In principle, "Leader-Invest" has successfully marked itself in all segments of the Moscow construction market, and in the largest urban development projects. In 2014, complex projects were launched in the capital, which Leader-Invest is already implementing today. These are developments that should organically fit into the already existing architectural ensemble, while maintaining the existing appearance of the capital.

On Lobachevsky

We managed to find the stories of two re altors who worked at different times in the Leader-Invest company that, due to the crisis, the company decided to sell the residential complex project on Lobachevsky on 250,000 square meters. However, the information on the site suggests that even if such a decision was made, then potential buyers were not lucky - the management decided not to sell this project. The facility is too large to be able to find a single investor for it, but if you attract several investors from outside, it will turn out not only profitable, but also good for investors and for the city.

To all appearances, Leader-Invest succeeded. The design has already been completed, and the commissioning of the facility is scheduled for 2021. This unique complex should include about one hundred and thirty thousand square meters of housing,about the same number of apartments and six thousand square meters of commercial space. The company does not disclose investors in this project anywhere. In general, "Leader-Invest" is full of secrets and mysteries.

Instead of ATS

In 2017, it is planned to put into operation residential complexes with investments of five billion rubles. These are the territories where automatic telephone exchanges were previously located: in Kuzminki on Zelenodolskaya Street, near the Skhodnenskaya metro station on Fabritsius Street, on Michurinsky Prospekt in the Olympic Village and near the Sokol metro station on Usievich Street. And in 2018, Leader-Invest will commission a complex on D. Bedny Street (near Marshal Zhukov Avenue), where the costs will exceed twenty-seven billion rubles, not including the cost of land.

The size of the project is very large, but it is guaranteed to be in demand among buyers if a competent pricing policy is applied. There is a developed infrastructure and a large number of natural areas: forests and parks. In total, there are about thirty such projects, twenty-six are already underway. Basically, all the residential complexes that the company is building are located on the places where there were automatic telephone exchanges. MGTS is reorganizing them. These are Pokrovsky Boulevard, Lyusinovskaya Street, Sretenka, Serpukhov Val, Usievich Street and others.

Now

And now there is a trial with Rosneft, which concerns almost all structures of AFK Sistema. Leader-Invest has not yet been affected by interim measures, but labor disputes are already taking place. Some veryserious. The ex-president of the company and about ten middle managers did not receive severance pay when they were fired, moreover, they were promised. That is why they were forced to apply to the prosecutor's office, and the notification of the prosecutor's check already exists.

The company, in a counterclaim, demands compensation of one hundred and fifty-five million rubles from the departed top manager. The management of the Leader-Invest company again does not disclose details, but demands this money as a measure to protect the legitimate interests and rights of the company. And the management of the company is not going to restore the violated rights of its former subordinate: Mr. Rubtsov is not en titled to any compensation in the amount of three times the average monthly salary, although the board of directors approved these terms of dismissal.

Company image

After receiving notification of the prosecutor's check, Leader-Invest literally filed a lawsuit against ex-president Rubtsov literally two days later, and Kommersant was told that this lawsuit had nothing to do with the dismissal of the top manager, and 155 million rubles the company will spend on lawyers who will accompany the paperwork. The fact is that all the activities of the CEO are associated with risks, personal responsibility is proved with very great difficulties. Leader-Invest has quite a lot of such disputes: in 2016 alone, 695 lawsuits were filed, that is, about four percent of all corporation disputes.

And it is highly undesirable for developers to sue. Any corporate dispute that has gone beyond the walls of the company is a serious imagethe loss. Especially if you take into account the situation in the real estate market, when supply is several times higher than demand. Buyers simply will not buy apartments from developers who are seen in scandals. All lawsuits filed last year are blamed on the departed ex-CEO.

Reason for leaving

RBC, a leading Russian information technology and media company, reported that Yevgeny Rubtsov was fired following the results of an internal audit conducted by the company's security service. However, Leader-Invest, as always, does not comment on this information either. Rubtsov himself claims that he was forced to leave due to a different vision of the development of the company with one of the shareholders.

AFK "Sistema" wanted to reduce the cost of construction and sell housing as a business class, but Rubtsov thought it was wrong. At the same time as Rubtsov, eight more people from among the middle managers were forced to leave. They also did not receive the severance pay due to them, and therefore also turned to the prosecutor's office about violating labor laws.
