In turn, Alexander Ustinov, Office Real Estate Manager for RD Management, explained that the building received a “Very Good” score, which is the highest possible score on the BREEAM rating for Russian projects.

Approximately 10 million rubles were spent on fulfilling the recommendations for compliance with the standards, he said.
