OREANDA-NEWS. February 11, 2010. TMM Company has put into operation its Carat premium-class residential complex in Kharkiv at 6, Potebny st. All the required works on the project have been finished and the equipment necessary for the residents to move in has been mounted and tested.  Further maintenance services for the project will be provided by TMM's own housing department.

TMM Company acted as investor and general contractor of the Carat project construction. Total investments into the project amounted to UAH 29.5 million. Pre-sales of apartments in Carat project were started at the construction stage. As of the date of putting the project into operation 34% of apartments (8 out of 24 apartments) had been sold. TMM is planning to increase the prices for apartments in the residential complex by 10% due to the elimination of risks after project's completion.

Carat residential complex at 6, Potebny st represents a U-shaped low-rise building with a pass-through into the enclosed yard, located on the platform at the ground floor level. The project was designed by Drozdov and Partners design bureau, with whom TMM formerly realized the project of premium-class town houses on Demchenko st, Kharkiv.

The 6-storeyed Carat complex includes 24 apartments with the area from 100 sq m to 285 sq m and ceiling height of 3 meters, thus fully meeting the requirements of the residential real estate classificator for premium-class projects relating to number of floors and ceiling height. The apartments in Carat have "island" kitchens, panoramic windows constructions in loggias, windows at different levels and French balconies finalized with colored glass.

Total area of Carat premium-class residential complex is 6.1 thousand sq m, including:

total area of apartments – 4.3 thousand sq m;

area of commercial premises – 0.7 thousand sq m.

The complex includes an underground parking for 32 lots and an above-ground guest parking.

TMM used facing panels to create ventilated facades in the Carat complex. Ventilated facade is highly durable and provides a healthy micro climate in the building. This technology is often used in realization of high-class projects.

Carat residential complex became the first project in Kharkiv with a comfort climate supporting system realized in a base case. This includes a centralized air supply to each room of the apartments and a multifunctional air-conditioning system.
