Scope: Engineer-Procure-Construct

Scale: 81 000 square metres

Saturday is a new project undertaken by Donstroy in the premium segment. The residence is a short five-minute stroll away from Belorusskaya metro station and 1st Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street, surrounded by iconic 1950s buildings that form the monumental façade of Leningradsky Prospect. Saturday’s exterior, designed by renowned Russian architecture studio UNK Project, is a modern take on Stalinist architecture and blends in sympathetically with the surrounding buildings. The residence includes 394 apartments covering a total area of 40,560 sq. m.

Homebuyers can choose from a number of apartment sizes ranging from 35 to 176 sq. m. with high ceilings (3.2 to 4.3 m) and panoramic windows giving spectacular views of the historic city centre. The ground floor comprises 4,497 sq. m of space for commercial non-residential use that will form the quarter’s infrastructure, including a mini-market, cafés, speciality shops, pharmacies, beauty salons and service offices. Furthermore, the project includes the construction of a standalone educational centre with a nursery for 90 children and a school for 200 students. The building, in a classic quarter shape, has an unusually spacious enclosed courtyard with a park and leisure areas. Residents will also have convenient access to a two-story underground car park.

Don-Stroy Invest is a leading property developer specializing in luxury real estate. Its portfolio of completed and current projects covers an area of about 6.2 million sq. m. Financial support for the projects is provided by the company’s long-term financial partner, VTB.

FODD Construction is providing a full range of engineering and construction services for the Saturday project, which is scheduled for completion in 2018.
