Alluvial territories on Vasilyevsky Island. There will be no studios and odnushki on the alluvium. Is it worth buying an apartment in a residential complex on an alluvial territory?

Alluvial areas on Vasilievsky Island or the Marine Facade project have been created for more than 10 years. At the moment, less than 40% is ready.

On the island, plots for construction were purchased by companies:

• Seven Suns Development;
• Glorax Development;
• "Group Leader";
• "LSR".

Location pluses:

• good ecology;
• lack of industrial facilities;
• fresh air;
• view of the Gulf of Finland.

Among the minuses are:

• underdeveloped infrastructure;
• almost complete absence of green areas;
• strong wind from the bay.

The proximity of the territory to the WHSD is both a plus and a minus. On the one hand, you can quickly get to remote parts of the city, on the other hand, this is noise and gas pollution.

In December 2016, the government of St. Petersburg put into the plan the construction of the Marine Facade metro station after 2028. Now the nearest metro station for this location is Primorskaya.

Project from "LSR" on alluvium

In September 2017, it became known that the developer "LSR" was washing up territories on Vasilyevsky Island for the construction of a new residential complex "Morskaya Embankment". In total, 40 billion rubles will be spent to create alluvium, and this process will take 2 years. That is, by 2019, the site will become available for construction.

LSR plans about 500,000 square meters of housing. In addition to houses, trees, schools, kindergartens and other infrastructure will appear on the site. As well as a public park on the shore of the bay.

Construction will be completed in 2028.

The project has not yet been officially presented. It is only known that the development was carried out by architects from Studio 44. The City Council has already approved the project of 4 quarters in the southern part of the alluvium. And the developer intends to sell apartments at the start of sales at a price of at least 100 thousand rubles per square.

The houses will be built in two lines, at different angles to the bay. This will help keep the wind at bay.

golden city

In the north, the LSR site is bordered by the Golden City project (“Golden City”) from the Moscow developer Glorax Development.

The construction of the business class quarter began in 2017. Completion of the entire project - 2024.

A total of 3 lines will be built. Now 2 buildings of variable height from 6 to 17 floors are being built. Construction technology - brick-monolithic.

The whole complex will have panoramic windows and balconies in each apartment. Lots from studios to 4-room apartments are on sale. Minimum basic prices for apartments:

• studio 24 m2 costs 2.4 million;
• one-room 28 m2 - 3 million;
• two-room apartment 53 m2 - 4.7 million;

The cost per square meter is in the range from 75 to 140 thousand rubles. Apartments are rented without finishing.

Underground parking is provided in the buildings. The total number of apartments in 2 buildings under construction is 573, and there are 319 parking spaces in the parking lot, and another 45 in the open parking lot.

The city ordered the developer to build a kindergarten, a school, and access roads to the block. All infrastructure will be ready by 2024.

In addition to standard facilities, a public park and sports complexes will appear on the shore of the bay. But the previously announced beach will not be in the project.

It should also be borne in mind that the alluvium of new territories by LSR is carried out at a distance of 80 meters from the complex. Judging by the project, the new houses will close the view of the bay for several Golden City buildings. Therefore, some apartments will have a view of the seaport, while others will not have a view of the water at all.

Bright World "I'm a Romantic" by Seven Suns Development

The comfort-class complex Svetly Mir "I am a romantic" became a pioneer in the alluvium. The first 5 houses have already been commissioned and occupied.

In addition to the usual residential buildings with apartments, a building with apartments, retail premises and a 9-storey parking lot will be built. While there are documents for construction until the 3rd quarter of the 18th year. Most likely, construction will continue.

As part of the quarter, 2 kindergartens and a school will appear, it should be built by the city. One kindergarten will start accepting children next year. Trees and shrubs have already been planted in the quarter. A building of a public and business complex was built.

The apartments are handed over with a fine finish, but there will be no more furniture as in the earlier queues.

Apartments for sale from studios to three-room apartments:

• studios from 1.9 million rubles;
• one-room apartments from 3.2 million;
• two-room apartments from 4.5 million;
• three-room apartments from 5.6 million;

As well as apartments from 1.9 to a million rubles.

Project "Harbor of Captains" from Leader Group

The developer Leader Group announced the construction of the Harbor of Captains project several years ago.

At the moment, under the roof is "Captain Nemo". But it has not yet been commissioned, since it is not connected to communications. Also, pile fields have long been installed for the Magellan, Arthur Gray and Columbus residential complexes. Construction is currently not underway. There is no information about the further fate of the project.

On the alluvium there will be not only houses, schools and kindergartens. There are also spots for building shopping centers and office buildings. Several sites are in municipal and private ownership, so it is still difficult to imagine the full-fledged appearance of the location.

Now the alluvium has problems with infrastructure and lacks green areas. After their appearance, we can expect a price increase of 1.5-2 times.

This year, LSR Group acquired a 35-hectare site on the “first line” of alluvial land in the western part of Vasilievsky Island, and also invested in the continuation of alluvium and has literally begun to create new land for itself. After the comprehensive development of this territory, the city will receive 500,000 square meters of housing and a new park area. For the project, the company turned to Studio-44.

The main limitation was the land surveying project, approved by the same city council (and approximately in the same composition) more than ten years ago on the basis of a development plan prepared by the Gensler company, which wanted to turn the future alluvium into a “city” with many high-rise dominants. The city later abandoned the idea of ​​commercial development in favor of housing, but the inconvenient layout remained. After the London bureau, the Soyuz-55 workshop worked with the territory and the last, in 2016, the B-2 workshop. But, apparently, it is the Studio-44 project that is destined to become a reality.

A significant difference from previous projects is a public park instead of a motorway running along the coast. It is worth noting that the studio came to this decision at the initiative of the customer. The concept of development is subordinated to the idea of ​​houses standing freely in the park.

The elongated section, two kilometers long, is divided into four micro-districts, which can even be conditionally called quarters, since high-rise buildings dottedly close the perimeter. Inside the "perimeter" there are private spaces on stylobates, as well as kindergartens and schools. If we disassemble the building “longitudinally”, then four “layers” can be distinguished.

The first is a public park. It will cover an area of ​​25 hectares, the width varies from 40 to 100 meters. Southwest orientation promises stunning sunsets.

The second layer is the "marine facade". These are houses standing in the park, not separated from it by anything. It was important to drown out or at least break the flow of wind from the bay, so the buildings took the form of "lenses" and "checkmarks". They are interspersed with "point" houses-towers of cruciform, octagonal or round shape. The first floors are moved behind the support galleries and serve the maintenance of the park. Such a decision artificially increases its area, and also eliminates the need to build additional pavilions.

The ends of the residential buildings open up to the sea, where the most expensive apartments are located. The "point" towers are decorated with a "crown" of colonnades, it is assumed that access to the roof will be free for residents. Due to the increase in "crowns", the height is gradually (from 56 to 62 meters) in the direction of the seaport and the residential complex, the peaks of which reach one hundred meters. The highest points of the Studio-44 complex are two towers of 72 meters each. An important role is played by "breakthroughs" both between the "blocks" and between the buildings, which reveal the view of the bay from more distant points. In the words of Nikita Yavein, it turned out "intermediate punctuation and main axes."

The third layer is the intra-quarter, "yard" territory, closed to strangers and safe for children. Thanks to the gaps, the park and the bay are visible from everywhere. There are schools and preschool institutions, chamber spaces and kindergartens, as well as entrances to a two-level underground parking.

The last, fourth layer is the boulevard front. 14-storey buildings 50-70 meters long keep the "red line", but some of them are moved to the depth of the site. They want to make the boulevard facade as diverse as possible, probably a competition will be held.

The reviewer Sergey Padalko noted that the building parameters in terms of height and area are 5-7% lower than the specified ones. This became the starting point for criticism. Many suggested “playing” with the height, and each architect had his own opinion on what should be corrected: someone spoke in favor of increasing the towers, someone suggested lowering the number of floors from the boulevard to the bay, someone thought that the height should increase in the opposite direction. direction - from the Golden City, so as not to block it. Many also agreed that the overall silhouette lacks accents and expressiveness (even the epithet “dull” sounded). The chief architect of St. Petersburg, Vladimir Grigoriev, proposed equalizing the height of buildings within the same group and putting “plates” instead of towers, which would make it possible to achieve a more united silhouette. He also urged architects to use a specially designed palette of the traditional colors of St. Petersburg.

Also, most members of the council considered that sooner or later residential buildings would be fenced off from the park, although this would not greatly reduce its area.

But most of the responses were positive and even enthusiastic. Everyone, including the predecessors and colleagues in the alluvium, admitted that in the situation of the approved plan of the territory, Studio-44 found the best solution and formed the structure of the entire alluvium. The chief architect called for approval of the project and summed up: "these houses were not designed by the Martians, one of us."

The communication issue has been resolved. The “Svetly Mir “I am a Romantic…” quarter is connected to the city's water supply and sanitation systems. The quarter from Seven Suns Development became the first residential complex on the alluvial territories of Vasilyevsky Island, which was fully connected to all utilities.

SUE "Vodokanal of St. Petersburg" has completed work on the technological connection of the residential complex "Svetly Mir "Ya-Romantic ..." to water supply and sanitation systems. This was the last step in connecting the residential complex from Seven Suns Development to all utilities and allows you to start the commissioning procedure for the facility.

Prior to this, the quarter, on the territory of which its own substation was built, was connected to the power supply. And in the first half of the year, the developer even paid the first bills for heat supply, since the quarter was connected to heating and hot water systems since March. In addition, the LCD "Svetly Mir "I am a Romantic ..." is already on all maps and has its own police addresses. Residents of the new buildings will be registered on Vadim Shefner Street, named after the famous Soviet poet, prose writer and science fiction writer.

Currently, the first stage of the residential complex "Svetly Mir" I am a Romantic ..." is almost ready for delivery: the interior decoration of buildings, installation of elevators, electrics and facades is being completed. The landscaping of the courtyard area and the paving of paths with paving stones are underway. The first buildings are handed over this month. So after the news about the connection of the object to all networks, future new settlers can prepare for the imminent delivery of the object and - after the due date - for settlement. Moreover, in this residential complex all apartments are rented with a full fine finish, furniture, plumbing and household appliances.

The “Svetly Mir “I am a Romantic…” quarter is unusual for St. Petersburg not only in that it will be the first residential complex on alluvial land, but also in a large number of social infrastructure facilities that will be available to its residents free of charge. A feature of the residential complex is also the withdrawal of vehicles from the inner territory, where priority traffic will be given to pedestrians and cyclists. The quarter will be equipped with bicycle and roller tracks, sprint tracks, bike parking, indoor and outdoor sports areas, playgrounds with rubber crumb coating, gazebos and pergolas. Communication areas and benches in parks will be equipped with waterproof sockets and access to high-speed wi-fi.

A developed cultural and health infrastructure, its own cinema, creative centers, a bath complex and an observatory will provide future newcomers with the opportunity to play sports and creativity, relax, spend time with children, just walk and chat with friends right next to their homes. This is especially true given that the quarter is located in a young and growing part of Vasilievsky Island, where social infrastructure is under development. In addition, all this will also save residents from having to spend time on long journeys to parks, stadiums or other social facilities. Own cinema will be a great gift for new settlers, as today there is only one small cinema center on Vasilyevsky Island. It is also important that in the quarter itself there will be a kindergarten and a comprehensive school for 825 children.

Solving the issue of communications removes the only barrier that held back the growth in real estate prices on the alluvial land of Vasilyevsky Island. Today, the potential of this part of the city is becoming more and more obvious. Especially taking into account the fact that already in November of this year traffic will be opened along the central part of the Western High-Speed ​​Diameter and exits from it to the island will work. After that, Vasileostrovtsy will be able to quickly get both to the center, which was traditionally accessible to them, and to the southern and northern regions of St. Petersburg.

Vasileostrovsky district has always been considered one of the most prestigious places in St. Petersburg. Buying comfort-class real estate there at the price of economy housing in a residential area has been and remains an excellent investment. However, experts predict a quick and rapid rise in housing prices in the alluvium and the chances of jumping into the last car of the outgoing train and buying housing there at a low price are getting smaller every day.

Residential complex "Svetly Mir "I am a Romantic ..." remains one of the most attractive objects for living and investing in St. Petersburg. According to representatives of Seven Suns Development, 99% of the apartments in the 1st phase of the residential complex have been sold. The proposal for the second stage of the complex, which will be commissioned next year, is also rapidly declining. Even more, the developer notes, the demand should be spurred by the news about the connection of all communications.

How safe are houses built on alluvium? Advantages and disadvantages of housing in alluvial areas.

Reading time: 6 minutes

St. Petersburg, like other major cities in Russia, is developing every day, which constantly increases the demand for residential and commercial real estate. But there is a catastrophic lack of territories for its development. This is what led to the emergence of the so-called alluvial territories, which are formed in and on. Both of these areas are simply very popular, as they provide an opportunity to purchase an apartment or office directly on the shores of the Gulf of Finland.

Housing in the immediate vicinity of the sea coast is a dream for many of our compatriots, so demand greatly exceeds supply. Today, not as many projects are being implemented as we would like. The most famous and already popular of them are the residential complexes "", "", which are located on the alluvium of Vasilyevsky Island. In Sestroretsk, construction has not yet come to fruition, but this is only a matter of time.

Benefits of acquiring housing in alluvial areas

Does it make sense to purchase rather expensive housing in the alluvial areas of the Gulf of Finland? To make such an important decision in your life, you need to think carefully, weigh all the pros and cons, put the pros and cons of such a purchase on two scales. To begin with, we list the benefits, most of which many potential buyers are well aware of themselves:

• Simply magnificent view characteristics of new residential complexes.

Today, such a situation has ripened when we can safely say that in St. Petersburg there is simply nowhere to build housing with a beautiful view of the sea, since all existing territories have been occupied for a long time and for a long time. Therefore, alluvial territories allow you to open completely new horizons.

• Unique opportunities for the development of a new comfortable living environment literally from scratch.

Alluvial territories are micro-districts of a new generation that can develop according to their own scenario, set by apartment buyers.

• Favorable conditions for the purchase of housing by the sea.

No, the prices here are quite high, which is explained by a very favorable location. But almost all developers offer the opportunity to buy apartments of an elite level on an interest-free installment plan or with the involvement of mortgage lending programs.

• A large selection of apartment layouts, the ability to choose the perfect option for yourself and your family.
• Simultaneously with the construction of residential complexes, a new social infrastructure appears.

Kindergartens and schools, shops are growing, bank branches and medical institutions are appearing. This makes it possible to avoid trips for essential goods over long distances.

• All built houses are built in compliance with modern technologies.

Comfortable recreation areas for children and adults are created next to them. It can be argued that construction in alluvial areas is completely safe, so you should not be afraid of any sudden cataclysms.

It would seem that there is no reason not to buy housing by the sea right now. But no, there are also disadvantages to such a choice.

Cons of acquiring an apartment in residential complexes in alluvial areas

The lack of housing in the alluvial areas can be cited as an important reason why the vast majority of these projects are implemented very slowly. Here are just a few of the main disadvantages that stop demanding buyers:

• According to preliminary plans and agreements, the supply of communications to residential complexes was to be financed from the local budget.

However, today, work on connecting vital engineering systems has been stopped, developers are trying to cope with the problem on their own, and buyers are forced to wait. And it is not known how long this expectation will last.

• Lack of developed transport infrastructure.

Metro stations are located quite far from residential complexes in the alluvial areas, which creates problems with trips to other areas of St. Petersburg.

• The transport arteries located near the new LCDs are constantly loaded with traffic.

This leads not only to regular kilometer traffic jams, but also to air pollution from exhaust gases and loud noise.

• Problems with ecology.

The creation of alluvial territories provokes serious water pollution in the Gulf of Finland, the consequences of which will not be eliminated very soon.

• Difficulties in integrating new construction projects into the existing residential environment of the city.

In addition, an important disadvantage is the high prices for housing in the alluvial areas of the Gulf of Finland. Despite all the above disadvantages, apartments in residential complexes are in great demand, which leads to an increase in their cost. It remains only to hope for the possibility of obtaining a long-term installment plan to purchase a house by the sea.

How safe is the construction of residential complexes on alluviums?

This issue is of interest to potential and existing buyers of apartments, as well as a dispute between developers, environmentalists, and other interested circles. We can reassure all those who are afraid of any problems with the housing itself or with the environment. If construction is carried out in compliance with modern standards and technologies, which is what we observe in the alluvial territories of the Gulf of Finland, then it is absolutely safe. Therefore, any fears can be safely thrown aside.

Vasilyevsky Island has always been a special location of St. Petersburg: from time to time it turned out to be cut off from the rest of the city, and for a long time only expensive housing was built there. But lately, the Vasileostrovsky district has been rapidly changing. Novostroy-SPb found out what new buildings this island offers today and how its transport accessibility has changed with the opening of the WHSD.

Vasileostrovsky district is located in the heart of St. Petersburg. It consists of three islands, separated by the Smolenka River, and has only water borders with other territorial-administrative units. During the navigation period (from mid-spring to late autumn), every night for several hours it is completely cut off from other locations due to raised bridges. Despite the inconvenience associated with this feature, Vasilyevsky Island is famous for its majestic atmosphere and is considered a prestigious place to live.

An area rich in history

Vasilyevsky Island is one of the four central districts of St. Petersburg. Its rich history indicates that the development of this territory began long before the construction of the city itself. Real estate here has always been in high demand by the market, comments Alexey Bushuev, Sales Director at Seven Suns Development. Vasilyevsky Island has long been an integral part of tourist routes around the Northern capital and is considered one of the most favorable areas for living in the city.

"Vaska" occupies an advantageous location between the Gulf of Finland and the Central District of St. Petersburg. New construction is carried out mainly in the western part of the island, in the alluvial areas, says Andrei Kugiy, commercial director of Glorax Development. New buildings of comfort and business class are predominantly built here. The demand for real estate in this area is growing every year. This is due to the favorable location: a view of the Gulf of Finland, proximity to the city center, active development of transport and social infrastructure. In addition, some developers offer their infrastructure as part of residential complexes.

“From the developer's point of view, alluvium is an opportunity to build on Vasilyevsky Island, an extremely popular area located close to the center. From the point of view of the buyer, alluvium is a bay, space and a clear understanding that you are standing on a new land where no one has lived yet: this is a new, unencumbered space, with its own atmosphere»

Vitaly Vinogradov, Sales and Marketing Director, Leader Group

Among all the districts of St. Petersburg, Vasileostrovskiy is distinguished by its characteristic isolation, which, together with its close location to the city center, is an ideal combination for a quiet and at the same time active business life, says Pavel Melnikov, Sales Director of Setl City. This is an opportunity every day to walk along the colorful avenues with magnificent architecture, well-groomed squares, granite embankments and admire the picturesque views of the Neva and the Gulf of Finland.

Infrastructure

Due to the fact that Vasileostrovsky district is one of the oldest in the city, its social infrastructure is well developed. There are a sufficient number of kindergartens, schools, universities, clinics. In addition, the active development of alluvial territories is currently underway.

New residential areas provide for the construction of commercial and social infrastructure, Andrey Kugiy says, which means that there is no need to be afraid of a shortage of places in kindergartens or schools.

Compared to residential areas on Vasilyevsky Island, there is a shortage of malls and shopping and entertainment centers, says Alexei Bushuev. However, it has recently become known that a large shopping and entertainment complex will be built in the alluvial territories, the investment in the construction of which should amount to about $150 million. As the alluvium is developed, the area will increasingly grow with modern commercial infrastructure.

Transport accessibility

Until recently, the Vasileostrovskiy district had no land borders, so on summer nights, during the bridges, the location turned out to be completely isolated, having no connection with other districts of the city. Traffic during rush hours on Vasilevsky Island became extremely difficult - one could spend two or three hours in traffic jams.

The situation changed after the construction of the WHSD (Western High-Speed ​​Diameter). Transport accessibility has improved significantly and has become much more interesting compared to other popular areas. Almost all locations (especially those located in the north and south) are very convenient to get to, comments Vitaly Vinogradov.

Vasilyevsky Island is located very close to the center of St. Petersburg, so its residents have the opportunity to quickly find themselves both in the Hermitage or the Russian Museum, and at the airport, Lakhta Center and in any other part of the city. There are two metro stations on the island ("Vasileostrovskaya" and "Primorskaya"). In May, the transport accessibility of the Vasileostrovsky district will become even better due to the opening of a new fixed bridge across Serny Island, says Alexei Bushuev.

Climate and ecology

Despite the fact that there are industrial enterprises in the Vasileostrovskiy district, it can be classified as an environmentally friendly location. The Gulf of Finland provides an influx of clean, fresh air, and the presence of green areas to some extent compensates for the negative impact of car traffic. As for alluvial territories, there are no harmful industries at all.

But the proximity of the Gulf of Finland has its own nuances. Native Petersburgers know that the straight streets ("lines") of the island are blown through by the winds, which makes it cold and dank here, especially in autumn and winter.

Is it convenient for families with children

Vasilyevsky Island is perfect for families with children, says Alexei Bushuev. Today it is well provided with schools, kindergartens, clinics and shops. In the future, Vasileostrovskiy alluvium should also have new places for walking along the coastline of the Gulf of Finland, as well as shopping and entertainment facilities.

Gradually, with the construction of new residential complexes and the creation of the necessary infrastructure, an even more favorable environment for families with children will be formed, Andrey Kugiy comments .

One of the advantages of Vasilyevsky Island is that, unlike other areas, it is not a transit area: its territory is isolated, quiet, family. Alluvium from this point of view is even more secluded - the western high-speed diameter cannot just be crossed. Somewhere in Europe, such a territory would definitely be completely protected from outsiders, says Vitaly Vinogradov .

“It is very comfortable to live in the district with a family: on its territory there are schools and lyceums with first-class education, leading universities of the country. The transport accessibility of the island, which until recently was isolated at night during the period of bridges, has been qualitatively improved thanks to the construction of WHSD interchanges. Soon, traffic will be launched on the Betancourt bridge and the third metro station "Mining Institute" will open

Pavel Melnikov, Sales Director, Setl City

Real estate in Vasileostrovsky district

Traditionally, residential complexes of the upper price segment were built on Vasilyevsky Island. This was due both to the high demand, prestige and objective advantages of the location, as well as to a certain shortage of free plots for new construction. The creation of alluvial territories in the western part of the Vasileostrovsky district contributed to the fact that comfort class new buildings appeared here at affordable prices, says Alexei Bushuev.
