ST. PETERSBURG — Roman Abramovich’s Millhouse will finance the New Holland property development in St. Petersburg’s historic city center.
Millhouse won approval for the $400 million project to convert rundown navy storehouses into a commercial and cultural hub, spokesman John Mann said.
The project was abandoned by Shalva Chigirinsky. Millhouse will own the property and plans to finish work in 2017, Mann said.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
