Twenty-four Russian properties have won prizes for the country's best real estate developments at the European Property Awards ceremony Monday. This marks a record showing for Russian companies.
The European Property Awards are given out annually to residential and commercial property projects based on the assessments of a team of independent judges. This will be the first time that a Russian retail development was declared a winner.
Moscow's AFIMall City shopping and entertainment center won in the retail development category. The property belongs to AFI Development, which also won the award for the best office development for Moscow's Aquamarine III A-class business center.
"It is very important for us that our facilities have received worldwide recognition from an outstanding expert jury. This only confirms our belief that AFI Development's projects are high-quality, modern, unique and worthy of the highest praise," said the company's executive director, Mark Groysman.
Other winners include the Architectural Bureau of Tatiana Mironova, ARP Studio, BARKLI Corporation, DesignPortrait, Fifth Radius Design Studio, K-International & Associates Ltd., KR Properties, MC Metropol Development, Mosproyekt-4, O1 Properties, Sergey Estrin Architectural Studio, and SPEECH Tchoban & Kuznetsov.
The European Property Awards are part of the International Property Awards, which were first held in 1995. The highest scoring properties on the European platform automatically go on to compete globally against those from the African, Asia-Pacific and Arab regions, as well as from Great Britain and the Americas.

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.
