What Capital Group does

Capital Group is a privately held Moscow-based real estate developer founded in 1995 by Pavel Tyo (Pavel Työ), operating for over 30 years in the Russian premium and elite residential and commercial property market. Its core business is the design, construction, and sale of premium residential complexes — including iconic Moscow City skyscrapers such as OKO (an 85-floor twin tower designed with SOM) and Capital Towers — as well as mixed-use and heritage-adapted projects like Sky House, Headliner (joint with KORTROS), MASTERS, Uzory, and the Badaevsky brewery restoration. The company monetizes primarily through forward purchase agreements (DDU) registered with Rosreestr for new-build units, supplemented by commercial real estate leasing within mixed-use complexes and a Capital Industry division managing ~150,000 m² of technoparks with over 60,000 m² delivered. Distribution is direct, via project-specific websites (e.g., skyhouse.moscow, oko-stories.ru), on-site sales offices, and a Moscow-based sales force led by commercial directors.

Technically, Capital Group has begun embedding AI into the design and pre-construction phase — automated calculation of work volumes and material quantities and preliminary AI-assisted 'black design' pre-projecting — supported by working groups that evaluate each initiative before scaling. It also operates the Capital Living mobile ecosystem (10,000+ residents across 23 residential complexes and 150+ partner brands), Capital University (partnerships with REU Plekhanov, NIU MGSU, HSE, and RUDN), the Capital Group Art Foundation, and a Capital Sport corporate community. The firm has 251-500 employees, is a single legal entity (ООО «КАПИТАЛ ГРУПП»), is entirely founder-owned, and does not publicly disclose revenue or hold external institutional investment.
