Lion Gate - Trophy house in the center of Moscow

Looking at the photo, you would like to say that this is a piece of Paris. But in front of you is the most expensive house in Moscow - Lion Gate. And yes, this is an exclusive - we are the first ones who got permission to tell about it in social networks.

We are located in Tsvetnoy Pereulok - the quiet center of old Moscow. This location is not as spoiled with expensive real estate as the same Ostozhenka or Patriki, but thanks to Lion Gate Tsvetnoy Boulevard is now steadily breaking into the elite map of Moscow with prices from 3 000 000 ₽ per meter.

This is a project we can confidently call outstanding. The house has 10 residences, made in the aesthetics of the fashion house Ralph Lauren. The area of the "smallest" lot - 400 meters.

The developer says it's difficult to accommodate the quality of life requested by the affluent UHNWI world, or "ultra-high-net-worth individuals," in a smaller area.

The acronym UHNWI comes from the English ultra high-net-worth individuals. It refers to people whose personal net worth exceeds $30m. In the case of Lion Gate, the buyer's fortune should definitely exceed this mark, because prices for apartments here start from $21m (1.28 billion ₽).

Konstantin Akimov, the developer of the project, used the term "academic architecture" several times when describing the house - when you dogmatically follow all the classical canons, prescriptions and traditions. It's about proportions, symmetry and harmony both on the facade and in the interiors.

The prototype for the Lion Gate architectural ensemble is the Petit Trianon Palace of Versailles, an icon of French classicism. On the facades are noticeable rhythmic interchanges in rustication and arched vaults.

The project consists of 2 buildings: the main house for 9 residences and a separate clabhouse. Inside the latter, there is a large reception lounge, a sports butt, a yoga studio, a beauty salon, a spa area with sauna and massage rooms, as well as a library and a bar.

Moreover, the developer bought the original set of bar furniture from the Hemingway bar at the Ritz in Paris. On these chairs once sat Hemingway himself with Fitzgerald, and now they are in Moscow.

You can also always relax on the summer terrace outside the house.

When describing the home's floor plans, level of finishes and engineering systems, we won't go into detail as it may look redundant to the unsophisticated reader, just as the owner of a tuned Ford Focus won't be impressed by the hand-painted fine line on the body of a Rolls-Royce. Let's just say the details are impressive.

For example, in the grand penthouse, only the dressing room of the hostess has an area of 38 meters. There is a glam station with a huge window for perfect makeup and a fireplace, so you can invite a stylist in the winter evenings and hang out with friends in the center of Moscow.

By the way, each Lion Gate apartment has at least 3 working wood-burning fireplaces.

Such rare and expensive real estate is called trophy real estate. It is like a reward for a wealthy person for understanding better than others how the world works, and can add a residence in Lion Gate to his hedonistic collection.
