'The new strategic shareholder has significant experience in crisis management, which will enable Pik to resolve more effectively current challenges relating to business development and the execution of further residential projects across Russia,' it said.

Pik will maintain its focus on large-scale economy-class residential projects in Moscow and the Moscow region, as well as in other regions of Russia. In the long term it intends to increase that activity.
