- In St Petersburg our policy is to acquire centrally located rental homes. These newly-acquired apartments meet our customers' location and quality requirements very well.

- We will continue to look for good housing investment opportunities in St Petersburg. We will, however, be monitoring Russia's political and economical developments very closely before any further acquisitions.
