Mysteries of the "Golden triangle"

In our last publications about mysteries of the "Golden triangle" (an area bounded by Nevsky prospect and the Fontanka and Neva rivers embankments) we told about the most expensive (up to several million dollars) apartments in the city. Today we are going to discuss more affordable ordinary elite apartments. Director of NEVSKY PROSTOR AGENCY Alexander Ginovker, a vice-president of Real Estate Association of Saint-Petersburg, will tell us how to gain an understanding of different kinds of elite apartments.
- Let-s begin from the very beginning. What does "an ordinary elite apartment" mean? And how much is it?
- Instead of "ordinary" I would call such apartments "common" elite, because despite their
"simplicity" they are real elite ones. The most important is that they should be located in the
"Golden triangle" area. Their price is 4-5 thousand dollars per square meter.

Dear Tenants

The structure of demand and supply on the elite rent market is visibly changing. The main reason is high-quality new housing and reconstructed buildings in the historic center. Completely different level of comfort as compared to the old housing affected distinctly tenants' demands.
In the most prestigious areas: in the "Golden triangle", on Admiralteyskaya embankment, on Malaya and Bolshaya Morskaya streets, in the neighbourhood of Chernyshevskaya metro station, there are practically no new buildings.

Mysteries of "Golden triangle"

A square meter like a new car. That is the price paid for the most expensive apartments in our city.
We have already mentioned that the most expensive apartments in the city are located in the well-known to all realtors "Golden triangle" (an area bounded by Nevsky prospect and the Fontanka and Neva rivers embankments). The prices per square meter for apartments located in the historical center of any European city are nearly equal, whereas in our city the picture is completely different. So what are the prices in the "Golden triangle" now?

Petersburg style costs millions

It is no secret that in the area called "Golden triangle" (an area bounded by Nevsky prospect and Fontanka and Neva rivers embankments) prestigious apartments are valuated at millions of US dollars. But it turns out that their owners pay such fantastic sums not for the apartments themselves. But what for then? Here is the answer given by director of NEVSKY PROSTOR AGENCY Alexander Ginovker, a vice-president of Real Estate Association of Saint-Petersburg.
- Actually, the qualities of apartment itself do not play the leading role. It should be spacious enough with high ceilings - that is all.
