The housing market is currently undergoing changes. By far the dominant group of customers has become individual investors, who buy apartments treating them as a safe investment of capital. They appreciate the quality, excellent locations of the projects, as well as the stability and reputation of our group. That’s why we are launching such projects that will best meet the expectations of these customers,” Lindberg further wrote.
