Dream of a businessman: 7 new apartment complexes

In 2013, the Moscow market of luxury new buildings was enriched by seven projects that can be classified as apartment complexes. These include the complexes "Golden Mile Private residence", "IQ Quarter", "Mon Cher", "St. Nicholas", "Turandot Residences", "Beijing Gardens", and "U Patriarshikh". All apartment complexes are equipped with modern engineering systems, and only environmentally safe materials were used in their construction. Each project has an underground parking lot and video surveillance. We decided to consider these projects from the perspective of the convenience of living in them for a business person.

Without claiming to be a serious sociological study, our employees surveyed about ten successful businessmen and determined the most important factors for them in housing. These turned out to be proximity to the administrative center, the presence of a good cafe or restaurant, a fitness center, and meeting rooms in the complex's infrastructure. In simpler terms, there should be a place to eat and work out after work, and the ability to conduct urgent meetings without leaving the building.

Taking these criteria into account, we have compiled the following rating of apartment complexes:
