The state-owned company “Russian Railways” has listed the Riga railway station in Moscow for sale, as reported by RIA Novosti. The buildings of the Riga Railway Station in Moscow are available to investors for purchase.
The station’s structures have not been utilized by passengers for some time, allowing for potential adaptation to new purposes. The starting price is 4,009,265,260 rubles (approximately 55 million dollars).
Anastasia Kotkovskaya, First Deputy Head of the “Corporate Property” Department at “Russian Railways,” announced that the auction’s starting price for the Riga Railway Station is slightly over 4 billion rubles. The sale of the property is contingent upon auction results, though the auction date has not been disclosed.
The announced sale price includes: the Riga railway station building, constructed in 1901, with a total area of 3900 square meters; a two-story non-residential building from 1929, with a total area of 3800 square meters; and a plot of land totaling 13,700 square meters (to be leased to the new owner).
Kotkovskaya previously noted that the Riga railway station has not served passengers recently, as they have been accommodated with new facilities. The tender announcement describes it as “build with cultural heritage objects and fully functional ones.” Russian Railways also states that this offers “an ideal solution for investors seeking stable, long-term income.”
