Investments in the purchase of ready-made commercial real estate in Moscow increased by 80%
Investments in the purchase of ready-made commercial real estate in Moscow amounted to 164 billion rubles. This is almost 80% more than in the same period of 2024. This was announced by Deputy Mayor of Moscow, head of the Moscow Department of Economic Policy and Development of the city Maria Bagreeva.
"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 conditions of rising rental rates and a limited supply of high-quality space. In January — March 2025, investments in ready-made commercial real estate in the capital amounted to 164 billion rubles. According to the results of the first quarter, Moscow accounted for 89% of all transactions with ready—made commercial real estate in the country — nine percentage points more than in January - March 2024," said Maria Bagreeva.
Investments in the construction of commercial real estate also increased significantly in the first quarter of 2025. According to the Investment Projects digital platform, 371 projects worth 1.9 trillion rubles were at the active stage of implementation at the beginning of April 2025. Compared to the first quarter of last year, the volume of investments increased by 26%. Almost half of these funds have been invested in the construction of multifunctional complexes combining several types of real estate, including offices, shopping and entertainment areas. The construction of new commercial facilities is carried out mainly in the north-western direction of the capital.
According to Maria Bagreeva, active investments in commercial real estate make the urban environment more saturated, efficient and affordable. Multifunctional complexes form new points of attraction, they are modern spaces where housing, work, recreation and daily services are within walking distance. This helps to reduce the pendulum mobility, increases the convenience of life and saves time for citizens. The development of commercial buildings is also accompanied by landscaping of adjacent territories, modernization of transport infrastructure and the emergence of new public spaces.
