In January-March 2025, investments in the purchase of finished commercial real estate in Moscow amounted to 164 billion rubles. This is almost 80 percent more than the same period in 2024, reported Maria Bagreeva, Deputy Mayor of Moscow, Head of the Moscow Department of Economic Policy and Development.

“The main investors are large corporations and banks, for which the purchase of real estate for offices and headquarters is a profitable long-term investment, especially in the context of rising rental rates and a limited supply of quality space. In January-March 2025, investments in completed commercial real estate in the capital amounted to 164 billion rubles. Moscow accounted for 89 percent of all transactions with completed commercial real estate in the country in the first quarter – nine percentage points more than in January-March 2024,” noted Maria Bagreeva.

Investments in commercial real estate construction also increased significantly in the first quarter of 2025. According to the Investment Projects digital platform, 371 projects worth 1.9 trillion rubles were in the active implementation stage at the beginning of April 2025. Compared to the first quarter of last year, the volume of investments increased by 26 percent.

Almost half of these funds were invested in the construction of multifunctional complexes that combine several types of real estate. Among them are offices, as well as retail and entertainment areas. Another quarter of the investment went to the construction of apartments, which began even before the introduction of restrictions on the launch of new projects in this area last fall. A fifth of the investment is aimed at the construction of logistics facilities, shopping centers and entertainment complexes. New commercial properties are being built mainly in the northwestern part of the capital.

According to Maria Bagreeva, active investments in commercial real estate make the urban environment more saturated, efficient and accessible. Multifunctional complexes attract city residents, as they represent modern spaces, next to which there is housing, work, recreation and familiar services. This helps to reduce pendulum mobility, increases the convenience of life and saves city residents’ time.

The development of commercial development is accompanied by the improvement of territories, modernization of transport infrastructure and the emergence of new public spaces. As a result, investments in real estate not only work for the economy, but also improve the quality of urban life – from the comfort of travel to a variety of services and convenience in everyday life.

In the first quarter of this year, the city sold more than 420 commercial premises

On the instructions of Sergei Sobyanin, the city is paying special attention to the quality of construction of business infrastructure facilities.

“Currently, Mosgosstroynadzor supervises over 60 commercial infrastructure facilities with a total area of over 1.6 million square meters. Among the most iconic are the Sberbank headquarters on Kutuzovsky Prospekt and the new dominant building next to Moscow City – the iCITY business center, in which the construction of the second 61-story building is being completed. Innovative technologies and thoughtful functionality embodied in these buildings serve as a clear confirmation of the capital’s status as a world-class business center,” added the chairman of the capital’s Committee for State Construction Supervision (Mosgosstroynadzor). Anton Slobodchikov.
