Russian Deputy Prime Minister Sergey Naryshkin did not mention GIPROGOR at the forum, but Kommersant has learned that the details of the consortium project have been conciliated with the government.

That contract was worth a maximum of 55 million rubles. The institute also expects to win a Federal Construction and Housing Utilities Management Agency (Rosstroi) competition to develop documentation for the planning of Russkoe Island. That contract was worth a maximum of 260 million rubles.
Beside consortium leader GIPROGOR, the consortium will consist of the Russian Urban Construction Research Institute, the National Institute of City Planning, Primorgrazhdanproekt, the British companies Atkins and Ove Arup & Partners, The Thai Archasia Design Group, the Dutch Royal Haskoning and American Perkins Eastman.
