Accent Real Estate Investment Managers and Germany's Garbe Logistic have created a joint venture to build warehouses in Russia, company statements have said.
The venture is studying five plots on the Leningradskoye, Simferopolskoye, Novorizhskoye and Kievskoye highways, said Dmtiry Khlebnikov, head of warehouse real estate at Accent, Vedomosti reported. On each plot it is possible to build a logistics complex of 200,000 to 250,000 square meters in a period of two years, he said, adding that total project investment was expected to be about $500 million. Funding will come from the company as well as private investors.
This is Garbe's second attempt to enter the Russian market, according to Cushman & Wakefield's Yegor Dorofeyev, who said the firm had looked at projects in the Moscow region and others, but cancelled plans due to the financial crisis.

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.
