Reviews about the Birch Grove residential complex. Residential complex Birch Grove in the Leningrad region Target audience of the residential complex

DATE FOR PUTTING THE OBJECT INTO OPERATION (or as it is also called DELIVERY DATE) and DATE FOR TRANSFER OF KEYS are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT concepts. The term for putting the object into operation (commissioning date) is the period in which the developer plans to obtain permission to put the object into operation, namely: a document certifying that the construction of the house has been completed in full in accordance with the building permit, the urban planning plan of the land plot and design documentation. What must the developer do in order to obtain permission to put the facility into operation? Before the developer submits an application for issuance to the State Construction Supervision and Expertise Service of St. Petersburg (facilities in St. Petersburg) or to the district Administration of the municipality (facilities in Leningrad Region) The commissioning certificate must be completed: Basic construction work for the project in accordance with the design documentation. This means that it is necessary to carry out work that affects the safety of life of future shareholders: all floors are erected, glazing is done, facade work is done, engineering is installed, etc. But, say, finishing apartments, as well as performing landscaping in terms of planting plants, etc. may not be finished yet, because... these types of work, of course, affect the quality of life of future residents, but do not affect safety. Measurements of PIB (objects in St. Petersburg) or BTI (objects in Leningrad region), i.e. the developer must obtain a technical passport for the entire facility, and then register it with the cadastral register. Assignment of a police address, i.e. This is the address assigned to the house. Until this point, the object has been assigned a construction address. Obtaining a certificate of compliance with technical conditions from all energy suppliers (Lenenergo, Vodokonal, Heating Network, etc.). Tests for air permeability, thermal imaging, natural ventilation. How is the procedure for putting a house into operation? The developer sends a notification of completion of construction to GASN. A group of experts (SES, firefighters, environmentalists, general construction workers) check the constructed facility for compliance with design documentation and regulations. As a result of this inspection, the experts sign a final inspection report. Afterwards, GASN employees sign a certificate of compliance of the constructed facility with the design documentation. Then the developer collects a package of documents for permission to put the facility into operation. In practice, specialists from the State Construction Supervision and Examination Service can come to the site with an audit and issue a number of instructions to eliminate any deficiencies. Until these are eliminated, it will not be possible to obtain permission to enter from the developer. Therefore, it is really difficult to deliver a house on time. And even experienced developers have situations when they stated a completion date of, say, the 1st quarter of 2014, as was the case in our More residential complex (2nd stage of construction), but received permission to put it into operation on April 17, 2014, i.e. formally already in the 2nd quarter of 2014. How does the deadline for putting the house into operation differ from the deadline for handing over the keys? The first deadline is more lenient and indicative. The developer sets the completion date for the house based on his construction plans. And, if necessary, this period can be adjusted without agreement with the shareholders, both up and down. But the deadline for handing over the keys is the period specified in the share participation agreement. No later than within this period, the last apartment in the house must be transferred according to the transfer and acceptance certificate. And the developer HAS NO RIGHT to unilaterally adjust this period. For violation of this deadline, according to the current legislation (214 Federal Law), the developer is obliged to pay a penalty to each shareholder in the amount of 1/150 of the refinancing rate for each day of delay. At the moment, for a studio apartment it’s about 1000 rubles. in a day! Therefore, the developer makes every effort to comply with this deadline, and therefore the developer always takes this deadline with a margin. In most cases, the difference between the commissioning period and the key handover period is 0.5 years. But there are situations when it comes to a year. This, of course, does not mean that the developer, having put the house into operation, will wait a whole year, because... Security and maintenance of a finished home is not a cheap pleasure. But he will have the full legal right to transfer at least all the apartments on the last day possible under the contract. Therefore, BE SURE TO READ THE AGREEMENT and check the DURATION OF TRANSFER OF THE KEYS when making a purchasing decision. What happens after receiving the certificate of putting the house into operation? The finishing of the apartments and landscaping (flower beds, lawns, etc.) are being completed. Commissioning work is carried out: we start and set up the operation of elevators, give operating pressure to the pipes, check the operation of pumps, leak control systems, meters, etc., blow out smoke removal fans, etc. We conclude basic service agreements with energy suppliers (Heating Network, Vodokanal, Lenenergo, etc.). The developer's customer service department accepts all apartments from the general contractor and checks the quality of the finishing. In case of complaints, he issues an order for elimination. After elimination, re-acceptance is carried out. An agreement is concluded with the management company, after which the management company takes over the house, including engineering systems and all common areas, on its balance sheet. If deficiencies are identified at this stage, they are also eliminated, after which acceptance and handover occurs. A schedule of inspections of apartments is being formed. Notification of the completion of construction of the facility and the readiness of the apartment for transfer must be sent to the shareholder no later than a month before the deadline for transfer of keys. The notification is sent to the shareholder by registered mail with a list of attachments and a return receipt to the address specified in the agreement for sending postal correspondence, or delivered to the shareholder personally against signature. All this usually takes about 4 months.

The Berezovaya Roshcha residential complex is an architectural project of the Polis Group company. Its main advantages are comfort and European quality standards, good ecology and developed infrastructure of the local area.

The residential complex also has a favorable location. It is located in the new district of the Northern capital - Kudrovo. The facility borders a forested area and a water protected area. The house is protected from a noisy traffic intersection by non-residential real estate. It occupies an advantageous position in terms of transport accessibility: close to the Ring Road, metro station and Murmansk Highway.

The residential complex is represented by four one-section houses. The halls and facades of the houses are made in the same color scheme. Brick-monolithic technology was chosen for construction. It consists of using reinforced concrete columns up to the second floor, and then monolithic walls and ceilings are erected.

The complex's apartment layout includes 1,463 objects, most of which are studios. The premises have undergone maximum preparation for finishing work. The complex includes underground parking for more than 100 cars.

The information on this page was updated on March 29, 2018. Source - developer’s website, official website of the Berezovaya Roshcha residential complex, data recorded from the words of the sales department manager.

It is more active than in St. Petersburg itself. This can easily be explained by more reasonable housing prices and a more pleasant environment. The new Birch Grove project did not go unnoticed by investors either. Kudrovo is a village near St. Petersburg, in the Vsevolozhsk region, where this residential complex was built. The interesting design of the buildings, the infrastructure stated in the general plan of the developer company, the successful choice of location for construction - all this contributed to the fact that there were many people who wanted to buy real estate in “Birch Grove”.

We would like to draw your attention: there are complexes with the same name in Vidnoye and Ramenskoye, Moscow region, where shareholders were unable to obtain the keys without problems. In our article we will talk about the Berezovaya Roshcha residential complex in Kudrovo. The complex planned there is wonderful, but future residents also have problems with the keys. Some shareholders are patiently waiting for their issuance, believing everything that the developer tells them, others are calling for them to go to court and demand payment of the penalty. The same uncertain picture applies to representatives of the “Polis Group”. Some say, come to our lawyers, they will formalize everything, calculate it, and we will pay, others, on the contrary, say that the company has fulfilled its obligations, and the delays are not due to its fault. Therefore, no one will pay penalties to anyone.

We propose to figure out what the Birch Grove residential complex is, around which such passions are seething, and find out why people are not given keys.

Location

Kudrovo used to be an ordinary village located north of St. Petersburg, between the city and Lake Ladoga. But recently, new residential buildings have begun to be erected here en masse, so now it is already a small modern town. Among other residential complexes, the most convenient location is near the Birch Grove complex. Kudrovo is located about 20 km from the center of St. Petersburg. There is a ring road nearby, which is about 500 meters from the last house of the complex in a straight line. On one side, the “Birch Grove” is bordered by European Avenue, on the other by Prazhskaya Street, on the third by Okkervil Park, and only on the fourth is an undeveloped area. The residential complex in question is not alone in this part of the village. Across the road from it is the new residential complex "European", closer to the center - the residential complex "Kudrovo", and a little further - the residential complex "Vernissage". So basically everything here is gentrified and has a modern urban look.

Transport accessibility

In relation to transport hubs, the location of the Birch Grove residential complex can still be considered relatively convenient. Kudrovo is almost the only village in the region where there is a metro. The station is called "Ulitsa Dybenko". It is exactly 2000 meters from the nearest building of the Birch Grove. You need to walk along Prazhskaya, Tsentralnaya, Leningradskaya and Dybenko streets, and you also need to cross the railway. But in the future, perhaps there will be a shorter route directly through new microdistricts. Now you can get to the metro by minibuses No. K492 or K491, a ticket costs 30 rubles. In the distant future (after 2025), the authorities promise to build a second metro station, closer to the complex. For car owners, the location of the complex is quite convenient, since a major transport interchange is located no more than 10 minutes drive from the complex.

Ecology

Until further development of the village’s lands has begun, wonderful natural areas can be seen around the Berezovaya Roshcha residential complex. Kudrovo is proud of its city, literally on the border of which a new complex was built. Dozens of birch, spruce, pine, and flowers grow in the park. The river of the same name flows here. Residents of the “Birch Grove” will be able to enjoy clean, healthy air and walk along the alleys of “Okkervil” every day. They also have nothing to worry about industrial facilities, since there are none in Kudrovo. The only inconvenience for residents can be caused by cars, the number of which is growing with the commissioning of new residential complexes.

Information about the developer

The Berezovaya Roshcha residential complex (Kudrovo) is being built by the experienced and trustworthy Polis Group Group of Companies. She works both as a customer and as a contractor. The year the company was founded is 2010. During this time, more than a dozen completed projects appeared in her treasury of achievements, the most famous of which are the residential complex “Yantar”, “Austrian Quarter”, “Nordinka”, “My City”. “Polis Group” has delivered or is currently delivering all these complexes on time, without major complaints from buyers about the quality of work. True, residents of the “Austrian Quarter” have complaints about the operation of elevators, intercoms, security and landscaping. In addition to houses, the company builds kindergartens, schools, shopping centers and sports facilities.

Complex infrastructure

The Birch Grove residential complex in Kudrovo should be very convenient for living. Feedback from future apartment owners regarding the infrastructure of the complex is quite positive. The developer plans to build a kindergarten for 110 children, a development center, several cafes, a fitness club, a food court, shops with goods of various types, and most importantly, a large three-story shopping center on the territory of the residential complex. Its premises have already been purchased by the Keski chain.

Many residents are concerned about the issue of parking. In the Berezovaya Roshcha residential complex it is planned to be underground, but it will be located only under one of the buildings and can accommodate only 108 cars. This, of course, is not enough. Therefore, surface parking will also be provided. Presumably, a place will be found for it on the corner of European Street, but there will be no places assigned to car owners here.

The territory of the complex will be made beautiful and green, trees and flowers will be planted, and benches will be installed. For children, several playgrounds with swings and slides will be built, and sports grounds will be built for those who like to relax.

Infrastructure around

Many interesting objects are located nearby the residential complex "Birch Grove" (Kudrovo). Reviews from residents particularly highlight the church built nearby. Another plus is that next to the complex, within a 10-20 minute walk, there are shops, several pharmacies, a fast food chain, a children's creativity center, a hypermarket, an ice skating rink, a fitness club, and also a swimming pool. A large school (1600 seats) was built in the New Okkervil residential complex. To get to it, you just need to cross the forest park. The school is a city school and all residents of the area are accepted.

A big advantage of the complex is its proximity to the Okkervil Park, where there are a lot of playgrounds, bicycle paths, and benches.

The disadvantage is the lack of a hospital nearby, as well as a multidisciplinary clinic. In the one that is nearby, only a general practitioner and a pediatrician are seen, the rest - only on a special schedule.

Design

The Birch Grove residential complex (Kudrovo) looks stylish and modern. The photos show four high-rise buildings with 25 floors, the top of which has different colors - yellow, green, red and blue. For some reason, the developer is positioning them as two houses, the first of which has one section, and the second has three. The technology of their construction is somewhat unusual. Here two floors of each building were removed, monolithic columns were poured from reinforced concrete, and already higher they began to make monolithic floors and load-bearing walls. According to the developer's plan, the external walls were to be made of brick; the DDU (appendix) indicated that they would be made of aerated concrete. As a result, they became foam concrete. The facade was planned to be insulated with fiber cement boards. Photos of Birch Grove shareholders posted on the forum show that in some places the builders used split foam blocks, which resulted in curvature of the structures, and large installation gaps were visible along the windows. Now all this is no longer visible, since the finishing of the facades has been laid on top.

It was planned to build halls in the buildings with an area of ​​almost 150 square meters. The design elements in them are made to match the tone of the upper floors of the buildings. Elevators in buildings are installed by Alex.

Apartment layout

In the Berezovaya Roshcha residential complex (Kudrovo), the construction progress was quite active at first, so the apartments in the first stage were quickly dismantled. The difference between the project and other similar ones is that there are no three-room apartments, only two-room apartments, one-room apartments and studios. Their distribution across the buildings is the same. Each has 183 studios (area from 24 to 28 m2), 138 one-rooms (area from 34 to 42 m2) and 46 two-rooms (area from 50 to 59 m2). Only in building No. 1 there are 182 studio units, and 134 one-room units. Two types of layout are offered - classic and non-standard, with one large corner window. Kitchens in apartments can be from 8 to 19 square meters. The ceiling height everywhere is from 2.75 meters. Heating in the houses will be central. The apartments are rented with preliminary finishing, and they offer finishing at 7,000 rubles per 1 m2 to order from the developer.

Prices and payment

The cost of housing in Birch Grove is considered average. The price per square meter here ranged from 81,000 to 114,000 rubles, which depends on the layout of the apartment, floor, and some other characteristics. You can pay the entire amount at once, or in installments or with a mortgage. Since the construction progress in the Berezovaya Roshcha residential complex (Kudrovo) was on schedule, and the developer and owner of Polis Group has a good reputation, almost two dozen banks agreed to work with him. Among them:

• "Sberbank".
• "Saint Petersburg".
• "Moscow Industrialbank".
• "VTB 24".
• "Bank of Moscow".
• Rosselkhozbank.
• "Delta Credit"
• "Absolut Bank".
• "Revival".
• "Svyaz Bank"
• Raiffeisenbank.
• "SKB".
• "AK Bars".
• Promsvyazbank.
• "Opening".
• "BFA".
• GLOBEX.
• "Surgutneftebank".

The conditions for obtaining a mortgage in them are somewhat different, but on average rates are offered from 11% with a down payment of at least 20%. You can also get a military mortgage at Otkritie Bank, Sberbank and Svyaz Bank.

Since at the moment housing in a residential complex can only be purchased by assignment, its cost depends on the appetites of the selling party.

History of the start of construction

We briefly described what the Berezovaya Roshcha residential complex in Kudrovo is. The project is not bad, but problems arose with it even at the beginning of construction. The construction permit was received by the Polis Group company on August 1, 2013. At the same time, the official sale of apartments began with the preliminary signing of the DDU. Some shareholders noted in their reviews that the sales managers suggested that they sign the PDDU (preliminary agreement) before the go-ahead to start construction was received, that is, back in July. People reported a 10% fine, which must be paid by the shareholder who did not complete the DDU on time after signing the DDU. Whether this is true or not can no longer be verified, but such reviews left potential buyers with an unpleasant aftertaste. Further events developed without problems. The work of the “Polis Group” was going well, so the delivery of all buildings was scheduled in one phase for the third quarter of 2015.

"Birch Grove" (Kudrovo): deadline

Seeing the buildings growing high on the construction site, the shareholders were already packing their suitcases, preparing to move. But suddenly unexpected difficulties began. First, it turned out that the soil at the site of the Birch Grove construction had a complex geological structure. Their development required additional costs and volumes of work. Then problems arose with the Zanevka company, which is engaged in laying communications to the residential complex in the village of Kudrovo, and the Berezovaya Roshcha residential complex, among others. The aforementioned “Zanevka” did not share something with the “Stroy Polis” company, the conflict turned into legal proceedings. These circumstances slowed down the progress of construction of the Berezovaya Roshcha residential complex (Kudrovo) and forced Polis Group to postpone the commissioning of the facility to 2016. Now the buildings were surrendered one by one:

• in the first quarter - one house;
• in the second quarter - two houses;
• in the third quarter there is also one house.

By the end of last year, the company again failed to deliver anything and again postponed the deadline, now to the first quarter of 2017, but once again they installed one queue.

"Birch Grove" (Kudrovo): why don't they rent it out?

This question interests every shareholder. According to representatives of Polis Group, the acceptance committee was supposed to start work in September. Then it was postponed to December, and investors were promised the keys to the New Year. As the general contractor explained, there was still a commission, but it did not accept the complex, revealing several dozen violations. Now workers are removing them as planned. None of those who bought housing in Birch Grove know how serious these violations are. People see that practically nothing has yet been done regarding the declared landscaping of the territory, that many apartments do not have proper finishing, but there are installation gaps that have not been fixed, unglazed balconies, and incompletely finished facades. Most shareholders hope to receive the keys by March. But the fact that the construction of the Birch Grove is permitted until August 2017 is alarming.

Developer

"Polis Group" is a construction company successfully engaged in the construction of real estate in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region. The organization began its work in 2010, and during its existence it has implemented many construction projects. The total area of ​​all objects under construction and already commissioned exceeds 1 million square meters.
The main strategy of the enterprise is the construction of modern, comfortable houses that will embody the ideas of high-quality and aesthetic housing now and in the future. That is why the developer uses only the most advanced technologies in his work, which allows him to expand his geographic presence and increase the number of implemented projects from year to year.
The most famous objects of the company can be considered the residential complex "Austrian Quarter" in Kudrovo, the residential complex "Vernissage" and the residential complex "My City".

The Austrian Quarter residential complex is a complex of 4 buildings designed in the style of modern architecture with landscaped courtyards suitable for recreation and entertainment. No less famous is the project of the residential complex “My City” - this is a residential complex near the Devyatkino metro station, which is a micro-city with a developed infrastructure, where there is absolutely everything that is necessary for life and recreation.
One of the company's most stylish projects is the Vernissage residential quarter. It is a series of buildings, each of which can be called a work of art. The project breaks all stereotypes about modern housing; here, each house is made according to an individual design and represents a separate direction of painting.
