Riviera on Istra

Моscow region

Nine exclusive residences

GVA Sawyer is the general Contractor of the project.

Riviera on Istra, an elite suburban residential settlement, is located on the bank of Istrinskoye reservoir, 50 km away from Moscow.

Though GVA Sawyer specializes in commercial building development, the company’s potential enables it to implement elite residential projects. Riviera on Istra country club has become famous in the business circles of Moscow at the initial construction stage already.

In 2002, GVA Sawyer and partners purchased a 4.2 ha land plot on the east coast of Istrinskoye reservoir in Solnechnogorskiy district of Moscow region for the development of Riviera on Istra elite country club.

The project is unique because it combines the best features of modern American design and landscape architecture with the traditional Russian country life style.

The Master plan of the settlement is worked out by Robert Mortensen (Robert Mortensen & Associates, Washington, DC, USA), a famous American landscape architect, ex-president of American Society of Landscape Architects. The original style of the residencies within the settlement was worked out by Bill Poss (Bill Poss & Associates, Aspen, Colorado, USA), a famous American architect. The country club is designed in exquisite country style, with elements of traditional Russian architecture; basic materials are stone, glass, wooden blocks.

All the mansions of Riviera on Istra are designed and constructed in compliance with the international standards, on the basis of individual designs, with account of all the necessary requirements and the land plot owner’s wishes. The purchase of a land plot within the settlement implies a personal beach ownership and Riviera on Istra yacht club membership.

Riviera on Istra country club provides all necessary services, ensuring proper country vacation for the dacha owners without any need to bother about such routine as house maintenance and repair. 24 hour security is provided on the territory of Riviera on Istra, as well as administrative and concierge service.
