At the time, Russian mobsters were beginning to invest in high-end US real estate as a way to launder money from their criminal enterprises.

EDIT & FYI:

In 2006, the year he reportedly began working for Deripaska, Manafort bought a condo in Trump Tower for $3,675,000 through an LLC called John Hannah. John is Manafort’s middle name, and Hannah is the middle name of that of his then-business partner, Rick Davis.
