Today, despite the difficult economic situation, the real estate market is in a state of serious recovery. In this niche, at least, there are hundreds of large developer companies that build thousands of square meters of new housing every day. In general, this is an excellent indicator of the market; it means that this property is in demand and quickly sold out by the population.
We will talk about one of the companies that is engaged in housing construction in this article (it is called GK "Granel"). Customer reviews of this developer, information from buyers of real estate in this company and other information that may be useful to you (especially if you plan to buy something for yourself) will be presented later in the text. We will try to make them as informative and easy to read as possible.
About company
So, you should start, of course, with the introduction of the developer and the publication of the information that is posted on its official website, and is also available inother open sources of information on the web. After that, reviews about the developer "Granel", as well as about those complexes that were built and put into operation by this company, will be described.
First of all, it is worth noting that the company started its work back in 1992. The original region in which the company planned to operate was Moscow. Further, in the process of growing the customer base and with the gradual expansion of the development business, the company also began construction of facilities in the Moscow region.
The structure of the developer is quite complex: the whole business is divided into several companies; moreover, the parent of all of them is the Granel Group. Reviews also note that in addition to it, there is also Granelle Development, which is related as a subsidiary and at the same time organizes the planning of entire residential neighborhoods that the group is working on.
As for the areas of activity, the company can be called a broad-profile company, since its specialization includes not only the construction of residential real estate, but also the arrangement of infrastructure for it, as well as the construction of commercial facilities for business. In addition, the wide profile of work is evidenced by the fact that the company's specialists oversee the entire construction cycle, from creating plans to managing running facilities for comfortable living and working for people.
In total, if we take into account all the delivered objects, the company managed to build more than 3 millionsquare meters of real estate, which is equivalent to more than 75 thousand apartments. Agree, this statistic already makes a serious impression!
Services
As the feedback about the developer "Granel" shows, the company offers a number of other options for its customers. In particular, in addition to the construction and commissioning of residential real estate with its further commissioning, the company also provides repair services. They consist in the decoration of the premises and the complete transformation of the interior of the apartment to the taste of the owner. This, of course, is an optional service, but even in this sense, the company can be safely called multifaceted.
In addition to the delivery of objects, they also offer assistance in preparing all the necessary documents that will be needed to recognize ownership. This is indicated in the "Services" section on the company's website and, accordingly, is available to those who have already purchased their property in residential complexes built by the company. It should be noted that here, on the website, a list of documents required for registration of ownership is also published. This is very helpful for first time customers who don't know what steps to take.
Also, as noted by the reviews describing Granel, the company provides excellent support to its customers (and not only). Here, of course, there is a service of representatives who are ready to consult on any issue; There are also several options for how you cancontact experts and consult on the topic you are interested in.
Housing complexes
For any developer, the main visiting card is the list of objects that he completed and handed over to his clients. It is the only way to tell how serious the company is and whether it is worth contacting it, buying a home and investing in construction.
Due to the extensive experience in the field of development, the company "Granel" (customer reviews confirm this) has managed to accumulate a rather impressive portfolio, consisting of several large residential complexes. Some of the apartments in them have already been sold, while the other part is only under construction.
It is worth noting that the company's policy, in terms of presenting the results of its work, is absolutely transparent: here they show what they were able to build and what will be delivered in the near future. In addition, here you can see the price grid for a particular object and, thus, choose housing for your pocket.
And of course, an important role in the eyes of the buyer is played by the fact that some of the complexes were successfully put into operation. This is the most important moment, because it shows that the company works not only on paper, but is also ready to present the results of its activities. Accordingly, this creates an additional credibility and, thus, disposes to buy real estate here. As the reviews about the developer "Granel" show, it is on the list of already builtobjects and is oriented by the majority of customers. As we understand, this is due to the issue of reputation and reliability of the company to which a person entrusts his money.
Next, we will be doing a little analysis of each of the built complexes, so that if you want to buy an apartment here, you can learn something useful for yourself.
LCD “Teatralny Park”
First on our list is a residential complex that combines the advantages of a country house, combined with the rhythm of the metropolis. The developer has achieved this balance by building small (3-4 floors high) European-style houses, placing them in the small town of Korolev. Despite the distance to the capital (several kilometers to the Moscow Ring Road), the complex has an excellent transport interchange. With their own car, residents will be able to get where they need to go in the shortest possible time, without any difficulties.
In total, the complex consists of 42 small houses. They are located in a total area of 26 hectares. Since outwardly each of the objects has the same color scheme and identical design as the rest, it seems that the company is building an entire town. In general, as the reviews about the developer "Granel Development" describe, it looks very nice and modern.
Besides the aesthetic side, the Theater Park complex has other advantages. For example, it boasts a flexible pricing policy due to the variety of apartments for sale here. ATIn particular, we are talking about types: studio (up to 26.7 meters), 1-room (up to 48.4 meters), 2-room (up to 64 meters) and 3-room (up to 76.8 meters). Accordingly, housing prices here vary between 1.6 million - 5.4 million rubles. As you can see, the buyer has plenty to choose from.
As for the reviews that we managed to find on the Internet about this complex, the situation, as it turned out, is rather ambiguous. On the one hand, the reviews about the developer describing the Granel company indicate that the place for locating houses is excellent, the quality of the houses and their decoration are pleasing, and there is an electric train nearby that allows you to get to Moscow even without a car. On the other hand, there are a lot of comments about the unfriendly local population, which, living in private houses, suddenly found a huge residential complex with 42 houses nearby, in the neighborhood. Agree, their dissatisfaction is understandable, and because of this attitude, many people simply abandoned the idea of buying an apartment here. Whereas those who bought it write that they have no regrets and are happy with everything.
LCD “Gosudarev Dom”
The next complex, which I would like to describe, has a large living area and, accordingly, is located on an even larger land plot (80 hectares). This time we are not talking about small houses, but about full-fledged high-rise buildings 7-9 floors high. However, the complex, again, is located outside the city, which makes it attractive for those who are tired of the bustle of the city and love nature and fresh air. Both will be here inprosperity, because around the housing complex there are forests that will delight the eyes of homebuyers here.
And, of course, do not forget about the price grid. It offers studios, one-room, two- and three-room apartments at prices ranging from 1.4 million to 5.5 million rubles. As the reviews of "Granel" groups show, "Gosudarev Dom" has a minimum area of objects of only 18.71 square meters and a maximum of about 72.42 "squares".
If you are interested in the infrastructure of this complex, objects that will be located nearby, then the developer takes on the functions of building two schools and 4 kindergartens. In addition, the complex is going to build its own shopping center, business center, as well as a sports complex with a swimming pool. A local clinic will also be launched, as well as a network of more than 5 km of cycle paths. All this is being built by the Granel company.
"Gosudarev Dom" (reviews about which we were looking for in the process of writing this material), has a lot of positive recommendations from buyers. Many people on the Internet share their stories that they also bought an apartment in this residential complex and are satisfied that they managed to do this before housing prices rose. In addition, some note that they were able to purchase an apartment directly from the developer, bypassing the cheating of intermediaries.
From the negative comments, we managed to find information that the complex has an inconvenient transport interchange (it is necessary to make transfers in order to get to Moscow). However, if you havethere is a personal car, there will be no problems with this, which the Granel company also indicates on its website. Reviews about the developer "Gosudarev Dom" are generally positive, so we would recommend buying an apartment in this complex if you are thinking about such a decision.
LCD “Imperial Mytishchi”
An interesting solution is offered by the developer in his other complex, which is called "Imperial Mytishchi". Small country houses are being built here, in which (for certain apartments) access to their own terrace is provided. Thus, the buyer receives not only housing in a beautiful and cozy place, which is located in the heart of nature, but also has the opportunity to get additional comfort for himself and his loved ones.
The complex is located, as noted by the reviews describing the "Granel Group", in the village of Pogorelki (the Pirogovskoye reservoir is located nearby, as well as the forest park). Therefore, nature will literally be "at arm's length" for the residents of the apartments of this complex.
The houses here are similar to those built in other LCDs: 4-6-storey buildings, finished in the same style. From the outside, they look like a mini-town, which creates a pleasant impression.
Again, the reviews characterizing Granel Development suggest that the company's plans include not only the construction of houses for housing and the sale of apartments in them. Social facilities (schools, kindergartens and a clinic) will also be built here to provide local residents with everything they need in the future.
Regardingtransport interchange, then from Moscow you can get to the village using buses No. 314 and 314K.
Reviews left about the complex are positive: as in the case of other LCDs, people are happy to share their impressions of buying an apartment and talk about how satisfied they are. I am pleased with the "closedness" of the complex, security measures in the form of private security posts and surveillance cameras, the design of the buildings and the developer's concern for the infrastructure.
From the negative, it was found that during rush hour, people entering the capital may have problems with traffic jams.
LC "Valentinovka Park"
The complex with such a telling name, which was also built by the Granel company, is located about 12 kilometers from the Moscow Ring Road. This, again, is an ecologically clean area located in a cozy area of the Moscow region. The area of the territory on which the complex is located is about 18 hectares. Here (according to the plan) 23 houses will be built, which the developer will divide into two stages. The first one, respectively, has already been handed over.
The houses that are part of the complex will have a height of only 3-4 floors and will be made in the same architectural style. The apartments that are available for purchase here are offered in 1-room and 2-room variations, ranging from 34.7 to 58.6 meters. Some of the houses also offer a three-room apartment (up to 84 square meters). Their cost varies between 2.7-4.8 million rubles (and about 6 for a 3-room apartment).
As for customer reviews, they can also be divided into two categories, dividingpositive and negative. If in the first place people write about how satisfied they are with their purchase; secondly, they scare them by how badly the developer is doing and what financial difficulties he has encountered. Judging by the number of apartments sold in other complexes, it is really difficult to believe in the latter. Therefore, it is possible that such negative information is being disseminated specifically in order to discourage people who read it from buying housing here.
Added to these gimmicks are comments about groundwater, lack of free space and low-quality building materials, which are also written, probably to scare Granel's customers. "Valentinovka Park" (reviews of which we analyzed) is in fact in high demand among investors, which is the best indicator.
LCD “Alekseevskaya Roshcha”
Like the complexes described above, this residential complex was built far from city noise and dust, at a distance of 7 kilometers from the Moscow Ring Road. It consists of 15 houses, which have 19-25 floors each. Due to the fact that in this case we are talking about real skyscrapers, the company, obviously, has somewhat deviated from its usual profile, which is represented by small cozy 4-storey houses. The area of Alekseevskaya Grove, taking into account the height of the houses, is also an order of magnitude larger (and is about 497 thousand square meters).
The first 6 buildings, according to official information from the developer's website, were commissioned back in 2014. The construction of other houses is currently underway, which will be occupied in the near future.time.
There is no need to worry that such a large complex is located on such a small piece of land. The reviews about the developer characterizing Granel Group indicate that the complex has provided a wide infrastructure consisting of parking spaces for 1064 cars, as well as all kinds of shops, pharmacies, beauty salons and other places necessary for arranging the life of residents.
As for reviews and comments, they highly appreciate this residential complex, noting a lot of positive aspects. These include affordable prices, proximity to the capital, the availability of everything necessary for a comfortable life in the apartments built here. In addition, homeowners describe the construction timeline and the speed with which the buildings were commissioned in a good way.
LCD “Forest Town”
Finally, the last one on our list is the complex built by the company to which we dedicated this article - "Forest Town". It is located in Balashikha and is probably the largest of all that were presented above. Externally, the houses look very massive due to the large number of floors and are densely populated. According to official information from the developer, the complex will include 2287 apartments located in 5 large buildings (up to 25 floors high). It is not surprising that for such a large number of residents, as the employee reviews characterizing Granel show, the company has built a 9-level parking lot, and also plans to build manyobjects of social purpose. It will be possible to get to Moscow from this “town” using buses and minibuses (up to 15 minutes on the road).
We found only positive customer reviews about the complex. People praise the developer, highly appreciate the pace of construction, positively characterize the location, as well as the quality of the objects themselves. We could not find any negative comments about the complex.
Employee reviews of the company
Finally, in order to draw a logical line in the description of Granel Development, the feedback from employees found by us in open sources will be given in this section. So, we are talking about the characteristics that a variety of its employees, having various speci alties and positions, left about the company. In the process of preparing materials, we managed to find both a lot of positive and negative recommendations. The first employee reviews related to Granel Development call the company a great place to work, where you can get useful experience, learn a lot of new things and at the same time make good money. Everyone notes a good attitude, attention from management, honest and transparent employment conditions.
On the other hand, there are negative comments about working at Granel. Feedback from employees of this type indicates that the group sometimes spends too much on promotions and image building, while not delivering the promised salary increase; that here they are too demanding of employees and set strict rules. In general, whatwe could not find any high-profile scandals related to work in the company.
Conclusion
So, we can say that Granel is the largest Russian development group that offers its customers excellent living conditions at an affordable price, mainly outside the city. The company has developed a positive long-term reputation, due to which it attracts new customers. And, probably, all the negative that we managed to find on the Internet about this structure comes from competitive enterprises. It is a normal reaction to the success that Granel has achieved at this stage. Apparently, the company does not intend to stop and at the same time continues to build its facilities, bringing them to the markets near Moscow.
