Hungary's TriGranit Development sold its 50 percent interest in the Mosaic shopping center project to companies associated with Pyotr Shura, owner of RGI International and Rusresorts, Vedomosti reported Monday.
Mosaic is planned to have an area of 134,000 square meters when it is built near the Avtozavodskaya metro station.
TriGranit acquired the share in 2008. The transaction was valued at $120 million to $130 million at the time, but the beginning of construction was prevented by the economic crisis. Shura paid no more than $40 million for the TriGranit share, Vedomosti 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.
