On 22 November 2011, Vladimir Resin, the first deputy mayor of Moscow, opened and commissioned the Imperia Tower to the public.[4] Construction of the second stage of the Empire complex, a 14-story building, began in 2013 and was planned to finish by 2018.[5][needs update]

Controversy

[edit]

Conflicts arose between the investors and developers of the construction of the Imperia Tower complex. In early 2012, the company CJSC Fleyner-City, owned by investor Pavel Fuchs, refused to participate in the joint construction of Imperia Tower with the private offshore Cypriot company Filtrand Properties Ltd., owned by Oleg Grankin, due to inadequate financing of construction by the investor. As a result, on 28 May 2012, Filtrand Properties Ltd. filed an application with the Arbitration Court of Moscow against CJSC Fleyner-City about the recognition of the unilateral refusal of the investing company from this agreement. As a result, after the judicial confrontation the parties on 29 December 2012 signed an agreement, according to which both companies had to transfer more than 20 thousand square meters to the skyscraper.[6]
