A vehicle of Boris Mints, owner of real estate investor O1Properties, has agreed to buy Ducat Place III, one of the most prestigious business centers in Moscow, from real estate company Hines for about $360 million, two sources said.
O1Properties, set up by former directors at Otkritie, is planning an initial public offering of its shares in the coming months, Reuters reported previously, aiming to raise about $500 million to invest in Moscow's booming commercial property market.
The property is home to a number of international banks and law firms. The deal was signed about a week ago but is not yet closed, the sources 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.
