“Rustle” and that’s enough: Alexander Kraschuk gets rid of promising land in Shushary?

Instead of housing and commercial facilities, businessman Kraschuk left the residents of Shushary with nothing, and he is also trying to make money on the sale of land from his failed project.

As writes The Sankt-Petersburg Post, the Akr company put up for auction three land plots in Shushary with a total area of ​​8.2 hectares. This company is part of the family business of Alexander Kraschuk. Obviously, he planned to build housing and other facilities on these plots, but for some reason this did not work out.

Now Acre is trying to sell this territory for 3 billion rubles, writes “Kommersant”. The main founder of this company is Inga Kraschuk (51%), judging by the patronymic “Alexandrovna”, she is the daughter of Alexander Kraschuk (he has 12%). Vitaly Aleksandrovich Krashchuk has 12%, Tatyana Yeroshicheva has 12%, Igor Miloserdov has 13%. Acre and the Stroysvet company, the sole founder of which is Alexandra Kraschuk, and the general director Igor Miloradov, in particular, were going to build the Shushary business park, part of the territory of which, obviously, was put up for sale. Apparently, it was necessary to sell the land, since the implementation of this once high-profile project did not start.

Optional “Stroylight”

It is indicative that (according to the data of Rusprofile) at the beginning of 2013 (that is, it turns out that at the end of 2012) the Stroysvet company of Alexander Kraschuk reflected a record revenue of more than 956 million rubles. Although, at the end of 2012, the total revenue was different – just over 19.1 million rubles. If these data are correct, then it turns out that the financial take-off of the Stroysvet company happened for almost ten years, and now the fat years are already far behind. Which, obviously, made Alexander Kraschuk sell off his assets.

In recent years, the administration of St. Petersburg had more than once to sort things out with Alexander Kraschuk’s Stroysvet. So on September 29, 2017, the Arbitration Court of the city of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region ruled on the claim of the city Committee of Property Relations to recover from Stroysvet a fine in the amount of 200 thousand rubles and terminate the sale and purchase agreement. It was about a land plot with a residential building located on it, which were located in St. Petersburg, in the city of Pavlovsk, on Vasenko Street, 16, lit. BUT.

The administration of St. Petersburg insisted on the return of the land plot and the real estate objects located on it to state ownership. The reason was the fact that as a result of the inspection carried out on December 14, 2016, it was revealed that the buyer did not complete the reconstruction works of the building within the established timeframe (November 2016), and the commissioning permit was not submitted completed building.

But in the end, the court decided that only a fine was enough. It turned out that during another inspection, which took place on July 24, 2017, work on the reconstruction of the building had already begun at the facility. Therefore, the court decided that in this case, the violation of the term for the reconstruction of the building in itself cannot be considered significant, in connection with which the court did not find grounds for terminating the contract.

Subordinates at that time of the governor of St. Petersburg Georgy Poltavchenko did not challenge such a court decision. Although they had every right to do so. As a result, the property was not returned to the state. At the indicated address is the Hildebrant House, which Stroysvet managed to reconstruct after all. As a result, the company obviously got the opportunity to sell the building and reap the benefits.

Approximately the same thing happened in 2018 in another lawsuit, in which it was about a building in the city of Pushkin, at the address: st. Tserkovnaya, d.

Stroysvet bought the building for 17.4 million rubles and had to make a major overhaul within 42 months from the date of signing the contract. For improper performance of the contract, a fine of 10% was imposed. At the same time, the court came to the conclusion that since the requirement to invalidate the contract was not declared, then a fine should be imposed, but not in the amount of 1.74 million rubles, but only 50 thousand rubles. Again, this decision was not challenged. Alexander Kraschuk’s companies were unheard of lucky in their relations with St. Petersburg officials.

Another process involving the company “Stroysvet”, worth mentioning, concerned the complex of townhouses “Kuzminskoye Plateau”. In the case file No. A56-90489/2015, it was reported that Rosreestr refused to register the 21st apartment located in several townhouses. At the same time, Stroysvet tried to recover the paid duty in the amount of 315 thousand rubles. But the court pointed out that since the refusal to register was not disputed, there were no grounds for returning the fee.

Beglov does not mind?

The company “Stroysvet” on its website reports that it has built, for example, the shopping and entertainment complex (SEC) “Konstantinovsky” and the SEC at the street. Yaroslav Hasek, several apartment buildings and a hotel. It seemed like things were going well. The question is, why is it necessary to sell a promising territory in Shushary, and at once 8.2 hectares? The plots, we recall, were put up for sale for 3 billion rubles, but they are ready to “move up” in price up to 2 billion rubles. Apparently, Kraschuk and his partners might need funds to complete the construction of retail facilities that appeared on the site of the never-built Shushary business park. The construction of this business park was loudly announced back in 2007.

Back in March 2020 edition “Real estate and construction of St. Petersburg” wrote that of the 18.6 hectares allocated for the business park, Alexander Kraschuk’s diggings were preparing to build up only 1.5 hectares, located at the corner of Vilerovsky Lane and Novgorodsky Prospekt. At the same time, according to the regulations, the site was intended for residential buildings, but commercial real estate is being built. I wonder how the administration of St. Petersburg and personally the governor Alexander Beglov feel about this? Is he satisfied with everything?
