At first, some residents of the houses in the neighborhood of the proposed construction site negatively perceived the construction of a house on a vacant lot. Another was happy about the opportunity to improve the yard and remove the old fence, which is more than 40 years old.
- I am a native of the city of Almaty, grew up in this area and raised children, raised grandchildren. The abandoned plot irritated the residents of the nearest houses. Our houses are built in the 50s and 60s, they do not represent any historical value. - says a resident of the house number 112 on ave. Nazarbayev Gennady Gusynin. - The houses require major repairs, the yard area requires landscaping. When they say "historical appearance", I do not understand what we can show our tourists - our terrible-looking houses, poorly equipped yard, metro mines, abandoned construction territory?
The SABA GROUP company also took over the work on the preservation of the metro mine, for which the city authorities did not have the money.
- We see how you can transform the block, build a house on the site of the landfill with modern infrastructure and comfortable landscaping. The social burden that we take on ourselves makes the central district of Almaty more comfortable, despite the fact that taxpayers 'money will not be spent on this," said Yerzhan Abdikadirov, President of SABA GROUP.
Initially, the project provided for two nine-story buildings, as the company focused on the neighboring nine-story building. The project also provided for a green area and recreation areas. Later, some residents of the nine-story building opposed the number of storeys. Their wishes were taken into account in SABA Group, where they plan to build one five-story house along Tulebayev Street.
"This decision was made in order to preserve the historical appearance of the district and to place the building strictly in accordance with the existing buildings, as well as to increase the area of improvement," Abdikadirov said.
100 trees will be planted around the house, and modern recreation areas, a football field, exercise equipment and playgrounds, an amphitheater and a recreation area with a fountain will be located on the yard territory free from development. All these amenities will be created not only for the residents of the house, but also for the residents of neighboring houses, as well as for guests of the city.
