"We invest into Rostec city together with Russian-Chinese fund and several investors from the Middle East and Asia. It is a huge project worth $1 billion, with a big debt-based share, but with [shareholders'] equity reaching up to $300 million," Dmitriev told reporters.
The project, which was first announced in 2015, implies the construction of office and residential buildings as well as social infrastructure and recreational facilities on an area covering 1 million square kilometers (380,102 square miles).
