France's Vinci, in partnership with Arkady Rotenberg, has made a proposal to the Moscow city government to build parking lots and metro lines, sources told Vedomosti.
A few years ago Vinci Park, which specializes in building and managing parking complexes, offered its services to build an above and below ground parking lot on Tverskaya Ulitsa and
Lubyanka, including investing $300 million in the effort, but it was decided not to trust them with such important locations, a former City Hall official said.
Now Vinci has a powerful partner — Arkady Rotenberg. They are partners in building the new Moscow-St. Petersburg toll highway, which costs 66 billion ($2.3 billion).
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.
