Fontanka has compiled a rating of the most expensive buildings in St. Petersburg. Both ancient architectural monuments and newly built commercial facilities. Buildings with a cadastral value exceeding 5 billion rubles were taken into account. There are about 70 such buildings in the city.
In total, almost 146 thousand buildings, structures and unfinished buildings have passed the cadastral registration and assessment process in St. Petersburg. These include sections of roads, water pipes, and subway tracks. Their total cost is over 16 trillion rubles.
The cheapest object in this long list (only 2,436.79 rubles) is a two—meter navigation sign on the banks of the Neva River in Rybatsky. The highest cadastral value is expected to be at the Lakhta Center (202 billion rubles). It is also the largest in terms of area in our rating (404 thousand m2).
If the city received the tax in full for all of them, it would be 240 billion rubles (1.5% each). However, the main part of the registered objects is either removed from the taxable base (such as cultural heritage sites), or the tax rate on them is equated to 50% or zero at all (as in strategic investment projects). The list of organizations and facilities that have such benefits is very wide. Ultimately, in the line “Corporate property tax” for last year, only 34.5 billion rubles were listed in the city budget.
The Fontanka rating includes only objects that somehow fit the definition of “building”. That is, a very expensive dam or subway tracks are excluded from the list. There are no residential buildings there either. The fact is that all new buildings have their own separate cadastral number when they are put into operation. But, of course, they are divided into separate apartments, each of which has its own owner. So the cost of the house itself is of little importance. But if you are interested, the most expensive residential buildings in the city are the Palacio residential complex on Vasilyevsky Island (20.7 billion rubles), the Polis on Komendantsky residential complex on Plesetskaya Street (16.9 billion rubles) and Graf Orlov on Moskovsky Prospekt (16 billion). By the way, most large residential complexes have their buildings with a separate cadastral number and a separate price, so it doesn’t make sense to take them all into account.
By a wide margin from the Lakhta Center there are two objects of the Complex of protective structures: a ship-passing structure and one of the sections. One is worth 82 billion, the other is worth 50 billion. Next comes the stylobate of the Lakhta Center with an area of 180 thousand m2 (46 billion rubles) and another KZS facility.
But if we take them out of brackets, the second place is taken by the most understandable and expected object — the Winter Palace. With a small area of 56 thousand m2, its cadastral value is estimated at 25.6 billion rubles. That is 450 thousand rubles per m2.
Such a huge cadastral value is rather an exception for historical buildings in St. Petersburg. For example, the neighboring Grand Hermitage (34 Dvortsovaya nab.) is estimated at only 860 million rubles, that is, at 34.3 thousand rubles/m2. And the Main Headquarters belonging to the Hermitage is estimated at a more respectable 4.6 billion rubles, but this is only 73 thousand per m2.
As a result, in addition to the Winter Palace, the Tauride Palace and the Engineering Castle fall into the top of the most expensive historical buildings. There are no historical buildings in St. Petersburg more expensive than 5 billion. And, for example, the Mariinsky Palace is estimated at a ridiculous 488 million rubles, or 25 thousand rubles per meter.
After the Winter Palace there are several large shopping facilities at once: Gallery, Peterland, Nevsky Center, Europolis, Grand Canyon, etc. Large office buildings in the rating include Nevsky Town Hall (separately — both queues), the office of the bank St. Petersburg” with the adjacent business center “SPb Plaza”, “Marine Residence” in the Skipper’s Bayou, “Victoria Plaza” on Victory Square, “Leader Tower” on Constitution Square and others.
Public spaces with specific functions include both Pulkovo terminals (the new one is three times more expensive), the building of the Russian National Library at 165 Moskovsky Street, the new Gazprom Arena and SKA Arena stadiums, the university buildings of St. Petersburg State Unitary Enterprise on Ivan Chernykh and the Agrarian University in Pushkin.
Of the production buildings, the most expensive is the newly built new Production and Warehouse complex at 96 Sofiyskaya Street, the former Toyota plant (now Aurus) In Shushary, there are the newest Southwestern and Northwestern thermal power plants in the city, Sewage treatment plants on the Volkhonskoye Highway, the Admiralty Shipyards slipway complex. Also, several buildings of Izhora factories were valued at more than 5 billion rubles.
It is necessary to make a reservation about the industry. The rating includes only free—standing buildings. If we take factories as property complexes consisting of several workshops, then it is necessary to note many others. The same former Hyundai, if you count all together, is more than 10 billion rubles. About the same number — Kirovsky Zavod and many other enterprises.
Many medical institutions also belong to very expensive real estate in St. Petersburg. The highest cadastral price is at the new polyclinic of the Military Medical Academy. Next are the Napalkov Oncological Center in Pesochny, Hospital No. 2, Filatov Children’s No. 5, Janelidze Ambulance Research Institute. And the newest one, the infectious Botkin on Polyustrovsky Prospekt, is divided into several buildings, but if you count everything together, it comes out to more than 12 billion rubles, that is, the most expensive in this category.
Hotels are located separately. However, there are only two — “Baltic” and “Pulkovo” — in the classical sense of the word. The rest are apartment hotels, which often differ from residential buildings only from a bureaucratic point of view and the rental rate.
It should be noted that not all owners of large facilities are happy that they have such expensive assets on their balance sheets. At one time, there was a whole series of lawsuits where the owners sought to reduce the cadastral valuation.
The story of the Gallery shopping center, the largest in the city, became a byword, which turned out to be decorated as a parking lot at one time, which led to a cadastral valuation of the building at about 5.8 thousand rubles per m2, and only 900 million rubles. Later, this mistake was corrected, and now the “Gallery” is worth 22 billion rubles from the point of view of the tax and officials.
Incorrect assessment sometimes almost led to the saddest results. Thus, the company “Strike” by Andrey Smirnov (Andrey Rogachev’s partner in the Verny project) received from the Federal Tax Service demands for payment of taxes for the unfinished building of the shopping complex at 45B Stachek Street, for more than 110 million rubles. An empty concrete box with an area of 24 thousand m2, for some reason incomprehensible to the businessman, was estimated at 9.3 billion rubles. For comparison, it is more expensive than Europolis (138 thousand m2).
While the entrepreneur was trying to prove that an error occurred during the assessment and the tax was calculated incorrectly, the Federal Tax Service filed for bankruptcy and has already submitted documents to the FSSP for the forced sale of this asset. Literally at the last minute, Strike managed to prove in the City Court that its building costs only 600 million rubles and that it is necessary to oblige the tax service to recalculate the amount of claims and stop the sale of property.
The procedure for calculating the cadastral value of an object is based on a complex formula that takes into account primarily the functional purpose of the building and its location. If we follow the already defined cadastral estimates and refer to their statistics, it turns out that the most expensive cadastral blocks (with the most expensive average estimate per square meter of buildings) will not be in the “golden triangle” at all.
The highest average cost of a “square” in St. Petersburg turned out to be in the 78:07:0003168 quarter — 119.6 thousand rubles/m2 at once. This is the Petrograd side, the shore of Karpovka, where a new residential complex was built not so long ago on the site of the demolished Severnaya Korona Hotel. In second place is the 78:06:0209003 block on Bolshoy Prospekt Vasilyevsky Island, where the Pokrovskaya Hospital and the Financier residential complex are located (98 thousand). The Petrogradskaya side also closes the top three, the 78:07:0003089 block, within the boundaries of which the Vvedensky Hotel is located (94 thousand).
Next are the cadastral blocks on Krestovsky Island, in the center near Kavalergardskaya Street, Petrogradka again in the area of the First Honey, again V.O., where the River Palace hotel is, then — surprise — Lomonosov, the vicinity of Bogumilovskaya Street, where some garages are located so far. Completing the top ten are cadastral blocks on Moskovsky Prospekt, where the Olympia Garden is located, and on Vasilievsky Island with the Pribaltiyskaya hotel (87-88 thousand rubles per m2 on average).
It should be borne in mind that this ten is formed from small blocks with a dominant building with a high unit cost of a square and with a small number of other buildings whose low cost cannot outbid the price of a status neighbor.
As noted above, medical facilities have a fairly high cadastral valuation. It is not surprising that of the suburbs of St. Petersburg, the most “expensive” is Sandy (the average price of one m2 throughout the village is 51.8 thousand rubles) with a whole medical complex of several specialized clinics.
If we evaluate the locations in the context of urban municipalities, then the most “valuable” are the MO “Morskoy” (56 thousand rubles per m2), “Vladimirsky” and “Ligovka — Yamskaya”, and then “Smolninskoye”, “Aptekarsky Island” and “Chkalovskoye” (37.6 thousand).
True justice begins to be observed only when we begin to look as large as possible — by districts. There are no surprises here: Central (37 thousand), Petrogradsky (34.1 thousand) and Vasileostrovsky (31.6 thousand). The average price per square meter of all buildings and structures in St. Petersburg is 22,178.83 rubles per square meter.
