Vitaly Khotsenko and Alexey Krukovsky, head of the Brusnika development company, discussed the implementation of new investment projects in Omsk

The head of the region, Vitaly Khotsenko, believes that Lingonberry, although a new player in the Omsk construction market, is already setting the tone for housing construction with modern approaches to integrated development of the territory and can become a strong multiplier stimulating the development of the entire industry.

"You set the tone with your projects and we really hope that the rest of the builders, looking at you, will build no worse. The city really lacks aesthetics. We have already analyzed the effects of the arrival of Lingonberries in our region. And we consider the biggest effect, apart from investments and square meters, to be a completely different quality of the urban environment. This is a multiplier effect that can pull the entire industry along, because there will be competition, which means that construction companies will strive to do better projects and build better. Anyway, in the end, it is the resident who votes, makes his choice - what he likes best, where he is more comfortable to live," said Vitaliy Khotsenko.

Alexey Krukovsky noted that the company pays a lot of attention to engineering competencies: design, construction management, achieving quality.

"In our work, we focus on the integrated development of territories. We really like these ideas, but their implementation is possible only in close cooperation with the federal subject and municipalities. I am sure that our dialogue today will help us achieve common goals together. Our task is to create a balanced building with all the necessary infrastructure elements, including social, commercial, and communal ones. We are deeply convinced that we cannot afford to design and build social facilities of yesterday, so we are putting our efforts, as far as our competencies allow, to create a different level of school spaces and appropriate quality," said Alexey Krukovsky.

The head of the Brusnika company spoke about the progress of the development of the Dravert Quarters, the concept of a 1,550-seat school to be built in this residential neighborhood, and other plans.

Currently, residential buildings of the first stage of the Dravert Quarters residential area are being built on the site between Krupskaya and Sharonov Streets. It includes four 17-storey towers with underground parking. The site for the second stage of the project is already ready, preparatory work is underway on the territory of the next two stages of construction. The boulevard through the entire new residential neighborhood will become the main green axis, a public space aimed at harmonizing the urban environment, providing recreation and leisure for residents. To implement a large-scale investment project, the development company was provided with 30 hectares of land on the Omsk left bank within the boundaries of 3rd Ostrovskaya, Sharonov, Krupskaya, 1st Rybachya streets. Work on the design and construction of facilities is proceeding according to the approved schedule.

The agreement on the implementation of the investment project was signed between the Government of the Omsk region and the development company Lingonberry in 2021. Under the terms of the large-scale investment project, the company undertakes to transfer 5% of the constructed housing stock to the disposal of the region and the city.
