Residential complex "Yuntolovo": a residential complex at affordable prices near the city? Layout and decoration of apartments.

Getting to the Yuntolovo residential complex turned out to be not as fast as stated on the site’s website. I drove to the apartment complex by car on a weekday around noon at a decent speed, and the journey took me about 25 minutes. The navigator built a route from the Staraya Derevnya metro station, passing along Primorskoe Highway - the shortest route to the site. Therefore, I can safely assume that during rush hour the journey will take approximately 2 times longer. I would like to note that after Primorskoye Highway the road goes through Konnolahtinsky Avenue, which is not lit at night, and in winter it is very slippery. The developer plans to resolve the issue with lighting, as I was told by the sales department.

From the nearest metro station “Staraya Derevnya” you can get to “Yuntolovo” by public transport. To get to the residential complex from the Staraya Derevnya railway station, there is an electric train to the Olgino station, and then you need to transfer to the 112th bus. Or from the Chernaya Rechka metro station you can take route taxi 210. The minibus goes along Savushkina Street, which is known for its constant traffic jams every day. Therefore, the advantage of transport accessibility of the object is too loud a statement, at least for people without a car. Also in 2016, a minibus was launched from the Komendantsky Prospekt metro station.

Within 20 minutes by car you can reach the Ring Road, and 15 minutes to the WHSD. For now, the only road leading to the complex is along Konnolahtinsky Avenue. The distance from the nearest metro station is not close. The situation will change after the opening of the Begovaya metro station; it will be located at the intersection of Savushkina and Turistskaya streets. The developer plans to organize an additional avenue within the block itself.

You can park in the courtyard of the residential complex without any problems; there are still more than enough places for this.

Infrastructure

Evaluation of the Yuntolovo residential complex project

The new phases of the Yuntolovo residential complex are being built using brick-monolithic technology: load-bearing walls are monolithic, and the outer walls are brick. In Yuntolovo, the first stage of the facility was commissioned at the end of 2014; it was built using monolithic frame technology; apartments are still available for sale. The developer offers various promotions to implement them. I was offered a discount of 4 thousand rubles per sq.m. area.

The next 3 phases of the facility are currently under construction; sales are still open in the 2nd and 3rd phases. The final construction of the facility will be completed in 2020. The design project for the facades in the second phase of the facility was developed jointly by Dutch and Russian architects. The idea is based on the architecture of the Netherlands - elegant houses with red brick walls in Amsterdam and The Hague, which have become the hallmark of the country of tulips.

If in the first stage the houses were mostly 5 floors high, then in the third phase there will be houses up to 16 floors. Therefore, the residential complex cannot be classified as low-rise.

As part of the first stage, 14 buildings were delivered with a delay of 1.5 years. The commissioning date for the second stage was postponed from the 3rd quarter. for 4 sq. 2016, the deadline for receiving keys has not changed - until February 27, 2017. The third phase was planned to be fully commissioned in the 1st quarter. 2017, now the deadline has been postponed to Q2. 2017; The deadline for receiving keys is November 30, 2018.

Internal infrastructure of the complex

The residential complex does not have underground parking, but there are open parking spaces on the street. While the houses are not completely occupied, there are no problems with parking. The passages in the yard are wide, there is no feeling of crampedness even if cars are parked on both sides. The construction of a parking lot is envisaged only during the construction of new lines.

The houses are located quite close to each other. The courtyard area is open, it is equipped with children's playgrounds, young trees and a lawn are planted. The courtyards have a quiet, calm atmosphere, and the complex is surrounded by forests, but noise from construction is constantly heard. Despite the fact that the houses are not yet fully occupied, Yuntolovo does not seem deserted. There are many children playing in the yard, as well as workers scurrying about, who, according to residents, can enter any entrance, which causes them concern.

Behind the house there are areas that have not yet been landscaped. The developer cannot influence the state of the Yuntolovsky reserve in any way. And the forest that surrounds the complex will gradually be built up with new lines of Yuntolovo. The residential complex has no neighbors. In the future, the location will be developed even more actively, because... The sensational Lakhta Center is being built a 15-minute drive from the site.

Poorly developed social, shopping and entertainment infrastructure

The Yuntolovo residential complex is located in a location with an insufficiently developed infrastructure. On the block I saw only a Dixie grocery store and a pharmacy. There is nothing else on the site. There are no banks, restaurants, cafes, fitness centers or shopping centers. For infrastructure facilities you will have to go to the Primorsky district, to Savushkina Street. You can get there without traffic jams in 15 minutes, but, I repeat, traffic jams on this street are common.

There are no social institutions near the Yuntolovo residential complex; the nearest kindergarten and school are in the village of Olgino, and the nearest hospital is on Optikov in the Primorsky district. But since the government of St. Petersburg obliges developers to build social facilities in areas with poorly developed infrastructure, a kindergarten for 250 people (2017) and a school (2018) will soon appear on the territory of the residential complex. I passed by a kindergarten; 2 floors have already been built. In total, the project provides for the construction of 17 kindergartens, 10 schools and 3 sports complexes. Also, as the quarter is developed, Glavstroy will build medical facilities, and a police station will appear on the territory. In addition, Glavstroy plans to organize a rowing school in Yuntolovo. The developer does not announce the deadlines, and for now you need to be prepared to live without all this.

Places for walking and ecology

As I said earlier, the residential complex is located in close proximity to the Yuntolovsky Nature Reserve. The Yuntolovka River flows nearby, and there is Lake Lakhtinsky Razliv. The Gulf of Finland is a 10-minute drive away. The nearby forest belt is not landscaped; residents of already populated areas have even come across snakes there, so you need to walk carefully with children. Mushrooms and berries grow in the forests, and local fishermen make their catch in the river.

You understand that after the completion of the quarter, Yuntolovo will be a very quiet place, surrounded by forests on one side.

On the other hand, nearby, in the village of Olgino, there is the Northern Aeration Station of Vodokanal for sewerage treatment, and in addition, in the north there is a solid waste landfill. All this is a source of periodically appearing unpleasant odor. Residents of this and neighboring locations are concerned about this problem; perhaps in the future the government will be able to resolve this issue.

Significant objects nearby

In 2018, in the location where the Yuntolovo residential complex is located, it is planned to open the Lakhta Center - a public and business complex and the headquarters of the Gazprom company. This will fundamentally change the status of the microdistrict, and will also create about eight thousand new jobs, which will definitely entail the development of small and medium-sized businesses.

The Lakhta Center will house: a planetarium, an observation deck, an exhibition hall, a large cinema, an amphitheater overlooking the water for city events, a congress center, and a scientific and educational center. This center can become an alternative to the historical center. The coastline of the Gulf of Finland will be improved, and a pedestrian bridge will connect the complex with the park of the 300th anniversary of St. Petersburg.

Layout and decoration of apartments

Assessment of planning decisions

There are very few studios left for sale, the minimum apartment area is 25.2 m2, the maximum is 37.54 m2. The studios have balconies from 2.58 m2 to 3.74 m2. Most of the apartments have a rectangular layout, but there are also some with sloping corners. You can also choose an apartment with a large hall or bathroom; the room area varies from 13 to 26 m2. Bathrooms in the studios are only combined.

The layouts of one-room apartments are very diverse: there are elongated, rectangular, and irregular geometric shapes. The apartments have both small halls from 5 m2, and with space for a dressing room from 9 m2, and there are also very large ones of 11 m2, comparable to the area of the room itself. On sale there are euro-bedroom apartments with a kitchen of 23 m2, the smallest kitchen area is 10 m2.

The layout of two-room apartments is also varied. In addition to apartments with the correct shape, there are also apartments with completely inconvenient layouts - in which all the rooms except the kitchen have an irregular geometric shape. There are apartments with a European layout, although the kitchen is only 15 m2. The area of kitchens varies from 9 to 15 m2, and balconies from 2.8 to 3.2 m2. Not every apartment has balconies. The size of the halls in some two-room apartments is comparable to the size of the rooms in the apartments. There are apartments with two bathrooms.

The apartments with the largest area in the Yuntolovo residential complex are three-room apartments. All of them are of regular geometric shape, without balconies if located on the ground floor. The largest area of the room is about 19 m2. Some have a narrow corridor with an area of as much as 14 m2. There are apartments with two bathrooms.

The layouts in the residential complex are varied, but it cannot be said that all of them are comfortable. Depending on the section, the number of apartments on the floor ranges from 5 to 12, which is not entirely comfortable for some buyers.

Finishing in residential complex

In a residential complex, you can view the apartment yourself, without the presence of a representative of the developer at the site. The keys were given to me with complete trust, and I went to inspect the property.

The decoration of the halls in the house is very modest: the walls are simply plastered and covered with yellow paint, and there is linoleum on the floor. The house has silent elevators from OTIS, and at the entrance there is an elevator for people with limited mobility.

I started inspecting a two-room apartment in the 1st stage of construction (commissioned in the 4th quarter of 2014). The apartment is located in the third section on the fourth floor, the total area is 37.5 sq.m. Overall, I liked the layout of the apartment, it is square in shape, but there is no balcony. View from the window of a house under construction.

I would like to note that in Yuntolovo you can only buy an apartment with full finishing, although many, I’m sure, would prefer to give it up. There were also many complaints from residents of another Glavstroy facility, the Severnaya Dolina residential complex, about deficiencies in the finishing; most had to gradually undergo fresh renovations after moving in.

Here is what is included in the turnkey finishing at Yuntolovo from the developer, I studied the details:

linoleum in all rooms
whitewashed ceiling
the walls in the rooms and kitchen are leveled and covered with paper wallpaper
double-glazed windows from AKMA, with micro-ventilation, without mosquito nets
MDF interior doors
sockets and switches installed,
two-tariff electricity meter in the apartment
vertical piping heating system
communal heat meter, located in the basement
batteries in every room, there is a thermostat.
water meters and connection point for washing machine installed (without drain)
kitchen sink installed (pipes installed)
plastic pipes in the bathroom with sound insulation
plumbing fixtures made in China and Russia
the ventilation shaft runs between the kitchen and the bathroom
metal entrance door made in China
no balcony
no TV access point
no intercom
without furniture
without stove

The apartment complex has an outdated heating system with risers running through every floor, but at least there is a thermostat.

In the houses of the first stage there is no intercom; the decision to install it lies on the shoulders of the residents. In the second and further, it is provided, as well as glazing of balconies, but the prices there are already higher.

There is no garbage disposal in the house; the garbage disposal is located 50 m from the entrance.

There is a not very pleasant smell in the apartment and the entrance - either whitewash or pipes. Representatives of the developer who gave me the keys say that this is because the house is not yet fully occupied.

On the one hand, the complex has been renovated - move in and live. On the other hand, it is very simple and not modern. In the bathroom the walls are simply painted - they need to be tiled, all the pipes and counters are visible, the cheapest plumbing was used - it is also better to replace them. The bathroom has a connection point for a washing machine, but there is no drain. The kitchen does not have communications for a dishwasher; you will need to resolve this issue yourself.

Prices and competitor overview

Financial aspect

Housing belongs to economy class, prices are acceptable for buyers. The cost per square meter starts from 56 thousand rubles. when buying a large apartment. Price range of apartments with completion date up to 1 sq.m. 2017 as of August 2016:

Apartment type	Footage, m	Cost, rub

The following options for purchasing an apartment are possible in the Yuntolovo residential complex:

1. Mortgage. The residential complex is accredited by the following banks:

2. Installment plan

- interest-free for 3 months.

Possible during the construction phase and after the house is put into operation. The minimum contribution is 10%, with a contribution of more than 70% the developer provides an additional discount of 3%.

- installment plan for 12 months.

The down payment depends on the type of apartment; the balance is charged 12% per annum. The developer indicates that this is tantamount to a mortgage with state support.

3. Military mortgage.

Applies to the second and third phases of construction in the following banks.

4. One hundred percent payment.

A 5% discount is provided.

Oddly enough, the residential complex is accredited by a small number of banks, and the terms of the installment plan can also hardly be called favorable.

Additionally, it is possible to purchase using maternity capital and under the “Mortgage with State Support” program.

Competitor overview

The only supposed competitor of the Yuntolovo residential complex so far is the Lakhta Park residential complex commissioned in 2015 from the Concord company. “Lakhta Park” is a cottage community with apartments that are not residential premises.

In addition to the fact that Lakhta Park has few similarities with the Yuntolovo residential complex, the table shows that they are in completely different price ranges. Therefore, we can safely say that in the location where the Yuntolovo residential complex is being built, it currently has no competitors.

Legal issue

Having analyzed the typical DDU of the Yuntolovo residential complex, which you can see at the end of the report, I noted the following points

Clause 1.1 states that the land plot provided for construction belongs to the Developer on a lease basis. If you need to study the terms of the lease agreement in more detail, ask the developer for this agreement. They are obliged to provide it.
Clause 3.3.1 Provides for the opening of a letter of credit. By default, all costs for its opening are paid by the Participant in shared construction. However, clause 3.12 gives the right to choose between a letter of credit and the usual non-cash payment procedure (without additional costs).
An additional burden is placed on the Shared Construction Participant in clause 4.1.3, which obliges him to provide the Developer with a notarized copy of the agreement for the assignment of the right of claim.
Clause 4.1.6 provides for the obligation of the Participant in shared construction not to carry out redevelopment or reconstruction of the Facility before receiving a certificate of state registration of ownership. However, the Developer places the risk of accidental destruction of the Property and its full maintenance and service entirely on the shareholder from the moment the transfer and acceptance certificate is signed. Indeed, in most cases, shareholders begin repairs, including starting with redevelopment, immediately after signing the transfer and acceptance certificate.
Clause 4.1.10 provides for the obligation of the shareholder to provide a notarized power of attorney to represent his interests in the registration authority, in the form established by the Developer, for a period of at least 1 year. In addition, the shareholder is obliged to provide a new power of attorney and other documents at the request of the Developer within 1 day.
- Short deadlines for submitting documents
- It is necessary to study such a power of attorney in detail.
- The shareholder bears extra expenses
- clause 8.5 provides for a penalty for violation of clause 4.1.10 (0.05% of the contract price for each day of delay).
Clause 11.5 says that the parties agreed to consider a number of changes insignificant, including those that could have occurred at the initiative of the Developer without the consent of the equity holder. In some cases, these changes may directly affect the desire of a potential equity holder to purchase a property. This includes changing the design area of the apartment from 10%.
According to clause 11.7, the developer is not obliged to notify the shareholder about a change in the method of ensuring the fulfillment of obligations.
The DDU of the Yuntolovo residential complex prescribes a way to ensure the completion of the construction phase - a civil liability insurance contract. If the developer changes the method of ensuring the fulfillment of obligations to a bank guarantee, and if problems arise with the completion of construction of the facility, the shareholder will not know where to turn.
According to the Additional Agreement to the Agreement, the Developer postpones the transfer of the shared construction project into the 3rd stage by more than 1.5 years (from the 1st quarter of 2017 to the 4th quarter of 2018). All new shareholders when purchasing an apartment in this queue will be required to sign this DS, and therefore will not have any complaints about the delay in delivery of houses

No developer will change the clauses in a standard contract for a specific buyer, but the buyer should still be aware of his risks.

January 26, 2015

The cheerful five-story buildings that have already been built are pleasing to the eye. The architectural concept of the residential complex was developed by Swedish specialists, and, judging by the project, they were inspired by the Scandinavian approach to planning the territory of the complex. Judging by the sketches, the appearance of the residential area will pleasantly stand out from many other proposals. The buildings will form small cozy courtyards, suitable for families with children and separated from the rest of the complex.

The developer is relying on a good location from an environmental point of view - there is a nature reserve, parks, and the Lakhtinsky Razliv nearby. Build in this almost reserved place "Glavstroy-SPB" plans 2.2 million square meters of housing. Considering that we are not talking about high-rise buildings here, the result will be a large residential area. The construction of houses is in full swing, but things are not moving so quickly with infrastructure. The administration of St. Petersburg, fearing that this problem would fall on the shoulders of the budget, revised the project, but the rights to the site were "Glavstroy" left.

In addition to communication issues and delays in the construction of social facilities, there are a number of other issues that worry buyers. Potential residents "Yuntolovo" I’m confused by the construction deadlines stated by the developer - will the developer be able to meet them, given such an impressive volume of housing? In addition, the most important problem is the accessibility of the complex when using public transport. For now, there is nothing to do here without a car. Considering that the housing here in terms of price and quality ratio can be classified as budget, the transport problem may turn out to be relevant for a considerable part of the residents Residential complex "Yuntolovo". To be fair, let’s say that for car owners here, the residential complex is quite accessible, given the proximity of the Western High-Speed Diameter interchange.

However, in the future the situation with both transport and social infrastructure should improve significantly. The reason for this is the scheduled opening in 2018 of the Lakhta Center, located to the south - a complex of buildings that will house the headquarters of the Gazprom concern. With such a powerful “anchor”, the surrounding area will certainly develop very actively. According to experts, the next ten years will significantly change the western part of the Primorsky district. Residents will also be able to fully benefit from the benefits of this development. "Yuntolovo". As a result, we can expect an increase in the cost of apartments in a residential complex, which makes investing in it more profitable.

Assessing apartmentography Residential complex "Yuntolovo", we must give credit to the designers. The layouts here meet modern requirements. They are very functional; most apartments have spacious kitchens. Taking into account the above-mentioned prospects for the development of social and transport infrastructure, we can say that living in this residential complex will be convenient for everyone, including large families with children.

If we are talking about low-rise residential complexes, then among similar offers on the market in other areas, Yucca seems to be the most competitive. The scale of Blueberry Glade, of course, is several times smaller, but it will be completed earlier. In terms of price, the difference is small, and in terms of the normal environmental friendliness of the places where the complexes are being built, the same is true. But "Blueberry Glade" differs in a positive direction regarding transport accessibility.

The Yuntolovo residential complex is a microdistrict that includes twenty-eight brick-monolithic economy-class buildings with a height of 5 to 16 floors, as well as various infrastructure facilities. The new building covers an area of 437 hectares.

The microdistrict is literally surrounded on all sides by forests. The Ring Road is three kilometers away, the center of the northern capital is 10 kilometers from here, the Moskovsky railway station is 6 kilometers, the Staraya Derevnya metro station is 8 kilometers, and the Pulkovo international airport is 25 kilometers.

On Gladyshevsky Prospekt, a five-minute walk from the microdistrict, minibus No. 210 stops, going to the Staraya Derevnya and Chernaya Rechka metro stations. Approximate travel time is 30 minutes.

Infrastructure

A rich internal infrastructure has been created in the mini-town "Yuntolovo", which includes: several pre-school children's institutions and schools, a supermarket and a hypermarket, small grocery and hardware stores, a fire station, a sports complex with a swimming pool, a stadium, a fitness club, clinics for adults and children, a shopping and entertainment complex with a cinema, an art school and other facilities.

In about twenty minutes from the new building you can drive to the nearest infrastructure of the Vyborg district of St. Petersburg (the shopping and entertainment complex "China City", the shopping center "Oblaka", hypermarkets "Prizma", "Lenta" and "Maxidom").

In the Lakhta area (near Primorskoye Highway) there are several supermarkets, the Garden City shopping center, the OBI hypermarket and the Olympic Hopes ice hall.

The main advantage of the Yuntolovo residential complex is its natural infrastructure. The microdistrict is located next to the Yuntolovsky Nature Reserve, whose area is 976.8 hectares. Forests literally surround the houses of the complex on all sides. The Yuntolovka River flows on the border with the new building, and nearby is Lake Lakhtinsky Razliv and the Gulf of Finland, which can be reached in ten minutes.

Developer reliability

The Yuntolovo residential complex is a project of the Glavstroy-Spb company.

The main activity of the company is the construction of large-scale residential complexes and the systematic development of urban areas. The organization also produces building materials and includes its own architectural bureau.

The most famous implemented projects of the Glavstroy-Spb company in the northern capital, in addition to Yuntolovo, are the Severnaya Dolina and Panorama 360 microdistricts. The company delivers all objects by the scheduled date.

The Spanish architectural bureau Atlantica Platform SL took part in the design of the Yuntolovo microdistrict.

Architecture

In the houses of the Yuntolovo residential complex, apartments and studios with an area of 22.96 sq. m. are offered for sale. meters up to 58.13 sq. meters. Apartments have up to three rooms. Ceiling heights vary from 260 to 275 cm. All premises are handed over to the owners with full finishing: wallpaper, laminate, painted ceilings, glazed balconies, necessary plumbing, entrance and interior doors, floor screed.

Otis elevators operate at the entrances of the houses. The first floors are given over to shops, service enterprises and office space. The microdistrict has its own boiler house.

The complex has undergone extensive landscaping. The developer installed open parking lots and playgrounds on the territory, laid alleys and sidewalks, bicycle paths, equipped a skate park and physical training grounds, provided picnic areas, and dog walking areas. Next to the houses there is a landscaped embankment of the Yuntolovka River.

“Yuntolovo” is a residential complex under construction in the Primorsky district of St. Petersburg (municipal formation of Yuntolovo).

“Yuntolovo” is a residential complex under construction in the Primorsky district of St. Petersburg (municipal formation of Yuntolovo). If you believe the official website of the developer - Glavstroy-SPb - almost a heavenly life awaits new settlers here.

Residential complex "Yuntolovo" is a microdistrict that is being built in 4 stages. Stages 1 and 2 have been completed. Delivery of the 3rd stage is planned for the 2nd quarter of 2017. There will be schools, kindergartens, and shops here. In other words, there is every reason to buy an apartment here, and not in the city center on the secondary market.

The advantages pointed out by the developer are affordable prices and proximity to nature. Just look at the map: next to the residential complex there is the Gulf of Finland, the Yuntolovka River. And, for example, from building 28 (3rd stage) there is a view of the Yuntolovsky reserve...

The developer will not say anything bad about himself. But the latest news about the company and reviews from residents and potential buyers are mixed. St. Petersburg residents criticize the environmental situation in the Yuntolovo municipal district - for its proximity to the North-Western Thermal Power Plant and the aeration station.

Among the shortcomings of the Yuntolovo residential complex are the poor transport accessibility of the residential complex to St. Petersburg, the lack of a metro station and the lack of roads within the residential complex. How to get to the center as quickly as possible? - one of the most painful questions for new settlers.

Those who chose the Yuntolovo residential complex also find disadvantages in the quality of the apartments - high audibility, deficiencies in decoration, water quality. Shareholders of Yuntolova complain that it is blowing from the windows in the new apartments.

One of the visitors to the complex is indignant: “The courtyards of buildings 1, 2 and 18 are tiny.” Moreover, if you believe the shareholder who left a comment on the Pronovostroy.ru website, there is a huge parking lot between buildings 2, 3 and 18.

By the way, one of the parking lots, residents say, was taken over by the HOA and barriers were installed. It is supposedly impossible to get into the parking lot. But this case is a real estate lawyer. He will help in a dispute with the HOA and the management company.

But another shareholder praises the new residential complex: “I took (an apartment - author) in building 23. I see that nearby apartments are not selling quickly. Why? After all, the prices are still attractive.”

Although one of the St. Petersburg residents considered that the prices in the new residential complex are too high, given that the new residents will actually have to live at the construction site. Let us remind you that the official completion of the construction of the Yuntolovo residential complex is scheduled for the second quarter of 2017.

But in fact, shareholders, according to them, are offered an additional agreement to the DDU on postponing the delivery date of houses to 2018. This means that if construction is delayed, they will not be able to count on a penalty.

If the shareholder is disappointed in the developer, he no longer likes the chosen housing, he may refuse to purchase the apartment. For this you can use
