In the Yekaterinburg suburb of Verkhnyaya Pyshma, YIT started the construction of two new five-storey buildings as part of its Baltym Park area development project. The buildings will consist of nearly 200 apartments, with the ground floor apartments featuring their own compact terrace yards. The newly started buildings are scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2022. YIT has been developing the Baltym Park area since 2014. Nearly 5,000 apartments in total will be built in the 76-hectare area.

In the Moscow region, YIT started construction on a 17-storey building as part of the Shchyolkovo area development project. The building will consist of 300 apartments.
