“Really, Sigma Logopark became the first warehouse complex of A class in Bashkortostan Republic. This complex has the leading role. There is a complexity of introduction of a new product to the local market. Now it is many connected with falling of sales in crisis at the main potential tenants; for a complex the main tenants are basically the large trading nets. We see that the market revives now”, - Mr. Kosilov said. “We are sure that the complex will be claimed. The projects of such large retailers as MEGA, Ashan, Castorama, Lerua Merlen, etc would be completed in Ufa by the autumn. Now we wait for reception of the certificate on property and we are going to use this time for active negotiations with the potential tenants. The demand exceeds the areas placed by us in operation now, reaching 50 000 sq m”, - he adds.

The contracts with the several consulting companies such as Colliers International, Cushman and Wakefield, Knight Frank, Jones Lang LaSalle, Rain Group (Ufa) were concluded for selection of tenants; except that, the operating company of the project NAI Becar has its brokers.Sigma Logopark will not have the competitors in the near future.

I think, we will be leaders at the market during 5 years and we will occupy this niche”, - Mr. Kosilov summarizes.

The director of regional projects of the company Raven Russia owning the net of warehouses of A class Sergey Plusnin told that the company is ready to build the warehouse complex in Ufa (more than 120 000 sq m), but the building is not started yet. As he said, the demand for warehouses fallen, and it is possible to start the building only having enough potential tenants. “The crisis introduced the corrective amendments. As soon as the situation will change, we will start to build when it becomes favorable. But it will be not this year”, - Mr. Plusnin told.
