The Practice of the Real Estate Practice of the NEO consulting company Arina Matveeva estimates a share of 22% at the Radius Group of 1.5–2 billion rubles, based on the cost of the company of 6-8 billion rubles.
Radius Group was created in 2006. Among its founders were originally natives of the United States Christopher Van Rit and David Simons, who moved to Russia in the 1990s. The largest object of the company in the Russian Federation was the South Gate logo (460 thousand square meters) in the suburbs. The developer owned them together with the Czech PPF Group. The latter after the start of hostilities in Ukraine sold its Russian assets. Then the “South Gate” crossed the Instone Development.

But in the spring of 2024, the company began a new project in Russia: a logopark for 270 thousand square meters. m for 50 hectares in the village of Bely, Dmitrovsky District of the Moscow Region, 35 km from the Moscow Ring Road (see. « Kommersant » dated April 8, 2024).

Arina Matveeva suggests that the emergence of a new co -owner among the founders of the Radius Group may be associated with the need to attract additional capital to finance projects or expand business.

The relevance of the mechanism has grown in the context of the high cost of lending. Another possible motivation for attracting a new partner Ms. Matveeva calls access to new markets. The expert suggests that Mr. Mia’s business and experience can expand the possibilities of development in Asia.
