The building was designed by the Italian architect Lanfranco Cirillo.
One of the workers who visited the site in 2020 said that they make partitions for bathrooms in almost all rooms, like in hotel rooms.
After the publication of Navalny's investigation, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitriy Peskov, when asked by journalists about it, said that Putin had no real estate in Gelendzhik.
In the report of the Russia-1 TV channel, a person responsible for construction told correspondent Aleksandr Rogatkin that the object is a hotel with rooms, common areas, and a swimming pool.
In response to the so-called "investigation", on January 29, 2021, the Mash online edition and the Russia-1 TV channel released reports in which journalists visited the residence. The reports show the main building, which is finished only from the outside, while renovations are taking place inside.
