Lesta Games Group bought an office in Moscow

The building is located at 1 Izvestkoviy Pereulok (Izvestkovy Lane) and is 5 minutes on foot from Taganskaya metro station. The building was originally built in 1903 by architect V. A. Vlastov, in 2011 it was completely reconstructed to meet modern requirements, preserving the historical appearance.

Malik Khatajaev, owner of Lesta Games Group of Companies:

Buying an office in Moscow for Lesta Group is our bid to strengthen the company's position in Russia. We invest in our country, we invest in its development, we believe in it and work in its interests. Of course, our main capital is not our offices, but our people. I am sure that the new office in Moscow will not only emphasize our status as the largest gaming company in Russia, but will also give our employees a sense of confidence in the future, allow them to work in the most comfortable conditions and realize their potential to the maximum.

The new building of Moscow Lesta Games has 5 floors with an attic and a three-level underground parking lot. The total area of the complex is 6 thousand square meters, including 4 thousand square meters of office space. Currently, Moscow-based Lesta Games rents a part of the building in BC "Factoria" with a usable area of just over 2 thousand square meters for its office. The move to the new office should take place at the end of summer 2024.

Gaukhar Aldiyarova, Head of the Moscow division of Lesta Games Group of Companies:

A building in ownership is quite a rare story for game companies, but we believe that this story will justify itself over the long planning horizon. Firstly, payments for the maintenance of a building in ownership are significantly lower than payments for the lease of comparable office space. Secondly, ownership is much more secure than leasing - we no longer have to worry about the landlord suddenly changing the terms of the contract for the worse. Thirdly, we can arrange our own building in the way that suits us and our employees, without regard to the limitations of the lease agreement. The efficient use of space is now entirely in our hands, and we will do our best to make our new office a powerful point of attraction for everyone who develops games or just dreams of starting a career in the game industry.

Today, our Moscow office can accommodate no more than 160 people. Given our roadmap for the coming year and our strategic development plans, we need at least twice as many specialists. We spent a long time choosing a suitable building, we looked through more than 50 options, and finally found one that perfectly meets our needs: suitable square footage, convenient location, harmonious appearance, underground parking for employees, high-quality internal communications - we had several dozen important parameters that we took into account when making our choice. We care about the comfort and convenience of our employees and will do everything in our power to make them feel at home in our new building.
