LCD “Symbol” from “Donstroy” – hunting for rats and running errands from migrants

As the advertisement says, buying an apartment in the residential complex “Symbol” from the developer “Donstroy” means buying a ticket to a new life filled with bright colors and events. The slogan is very enticing, the one who came up with it is far from being alien to romance and high style.

However, this is an emotional message. And those who are ready to shell out several tens of millions of rubles for housing in Moscow should be guided not by emotions, but by pragmatism. Especially if you are going to buy housing from Donstroy, and even get into a mortgage. A lot has been written about the fact that mortgage programs from Donstroy are a rather “dumb” event. But this is a separate topic, we will not dwell on it – indeed a lot has been written about this, we recommend potential clients to search for materials on their own.

Let’s get back to a specific object from the developer – LCD “Symbol”. It is being built in the historical district of Lefortovo, on the border of the Central Administrative District, 2 km from the Garden Ring. As of now, construction is in full swing. At least, this is what the Donstroy official website says:

However, this is what the realtor’s website says, from where that very romantic quote was taken:

We believe, of course, the developer. But here’s the thing – the realtor was clearly guided by the developer’s information when he placed his advertisement …

So let’s go back to the beginning – when buying a home from Donstroy, you need to be guided by pure reason. True, in this case, these things are incompatible – a person in his right mind will not contact Donstroy for any price. But okay – if such a crazy idea has already visited you, then let’s read what they write about the LCD “Symbol” not promotional materials.

Although advertising, as we see, is also not all right. Because there is already one dissonance, and it tells us that the deadlines are not just broken, but completely failed. However, the construction is still underway, and there is an offer to buy an apartment in the Simvol residential complex.

Therefore, let’s move on from advertising – it still offers us a standard set: “excellent infrastructure, quality, elite class” and te de, and te pe, to what the developer hides from the general public.

Let’s look at review sites. Fortunately, they still exist and have not been blocked at the request of one of the main beneficiaries of Donstroy, Andrei Kostin, who pumps the developer with money through the VTB bank he manages.

These are the so-called “bots” from Donstroy. Everything is “cool, elite, just in time, bonuses” and both te de and te pe. Subtly something reminds epic advertising of unforgettable MMM. Well, the one with Lenya Golubkov and a lonely woman Marina Sergeevna.

And this is not paid, not from bots, but from those who look at things soberly:

Yes, they date back to the time when the residential complex “Symbol” began to be built. Maybe they just viciously riveted on the developer? Or is it the intrigues of competitors? What is the situation now?

And now something has happened that was warned about before the start of construction on the territory of the Sickle and Hammer plant, where the “elite” Residential Complex “Symbol” is being built, that is, the former Goujon plant – the territory where heavy metallurgical production was carried out for 130 years. Where the earth is 10 meters deep is saturated with the entire periodic table. Where land reclamation was not only not carried out – it was hardly planned at all.

Uninterrupted supplies of a wide range of elements of the periodic table are provided to residents of the Simvol residential complex not only from the ground, but also from the air: the Entuziastov Highway runs along the entire residential complex, and the Third Transport Ring crosses it right in the center.

The picture is organically supplemented by exceeding the maximum permissible building density by several times. The number of schools, kindergartens, parking lots, on the contrary, is several times less than the minimum required.

However, this is not news – most of the new LCDs grow on the site of the workshops of the destroyed enterprises. But sales managers do their best to hide the older history of this place – the plant, on the site of which Donstroy builds apartments, grew up on the site of the Blessed Cemetery. Which has existed here for almost a hundred years. That is why it turns out that the residents of the buildings “Courage” and “Freedom” live right on the bones of dead Muscovites.

In addition to the cemetery history, the owners of “elite” housing are in for another surprise – a 30-story renovation quarter is being built next door, where visitors from Perovo will be settled. Yes, and with the “elitism” itself, questions also arise – in the “Symbol” soon after the surrender, cracks began to form in the walls. The windows here overlook the incredibly noisy and gassed Third Ring Road. Moreover, the balconies actually hang over it, the residents report.

Instead of thin aluminum profiles, cheap PVC was made here, instead of black windows on the facades – white, although the advertisement promised the opposite. Immediately after settling in, the problems of residents are blamed on the management company from the Residential Complex “Symbol”. Managers do nothing, it’s dirty around, there is no promised security, aggressive migrants hang out in the parking lot, there are dead entrances, clogged smelly garbage chutes.

However, back to the reviews of “grateful” customers. See the answer below the comment. This is clearly the work of employees of the advertising department of Donstroy, but it seems that they were recruited somewhere in a nearby vocational school. Because the specific claim of the owner of the apartment in the residential complex “Simovol” was answered with some frank nonsense:

Here is another review of the “elite” housing from the next “lucky”:

Well, how? Impressive? Naturally, the advertisers of Donstroy are trying to dilute all this negativity with a positive one, but it was written as a blueprint, it can be seen. But real reviews are the cry of the soul of buyers who have fallen for the advertising bait. You can’t fake it:

And here is the answer to the question:

Interesting – are rats also elite in elite houses? Or the simplest ones, like in some slums?

And finally:

Perhaps enough. Who does not believe – all these (and not only!) Reviews are easily found in the search engine. You can check. And compare with advertising from Donstroy.

However, she is not lying: to buy an apartment in the residential complex “Symbol” from the developer “Donstroy” – it really means to buy a ticket to a new life filled with bright colors and events. After all, hunting for rats and the constant risk of getting hit on the head by migrants and homeless people is really bright and unforgettable.
