‘St. Petersburg hotel’ to be built in Yerevan

St. Petersburg hotel will be built in Yerevan, and Yerevan shopping center will be opened in St. Petersburg, Governor of St. Petersburg Georgy Poltavchenko told reporters in Yerevan.

“In nearest months the construction of Yerevan shopping center will launch in our city. The preparation works were longlasting, but already the territory exists for the center, there is a project. I am almost convinced that the construction will launch in autumn of this year or in early next year.

There is already a clear idea who is going to construct it, who will invest and who will be the resident,” Poltavchenko said. He confidently said the project will be completed in a very short period of time since Armenian builders will carry out the works. In his turn Mayor of Yerevan Taron Margaryan said St. Petersburg hotel will be built in Yerevan, and currently talks are underway with the project’s investors.

“The St. Petersburg side will construct the hotel in Yerevan, and we will build the shopping center there. Of course, the private companies will implement this. We have many programs for future, we have discussed them and put the beginning. Currently our teams are working, and I hope we will inform you about the results soon,” Taron Margaryan said.

The area for the hotel has been allocated for already half a year ago. It will be located on the top of Abovyan park.
