ALMATY. KAZINFORM-This is one of the first projects under the new rules for the development of the city, reports MIA "Kazinform".

The construction company SABA Group is building a new school building at its own expense. The project also provides for pre-school institutions with a separate territory.

Comfort City residential complex is one of the first projects implemented under the new rules of development in Almaty, but it does not apply to the renovation program. For its implementation, a plot in the square of Gagarin Avenue, Druzhby Lane and Tropinin Street is used. In addition to residential buildings, the 4.3-hectare site will have a social infrastructure that will cover all the needs of local residents. The plot, according to the detailed design project (PDP), belongs to the category W-6, which implies the construction of buildings from 12 floors.

The land plot was purchased at an auction from JSC "Halyk Bank of Kazakhstan" in early 2020. Until that time, the land was not used for more than 10 years, was pledged by banks and there were 12 private houses on it, which were not bought out by the previous owners of the property.

For more than 15 years, people have been waiting for an investor who could buy their homes for the construction of new housing. All owners, as noted in the SABA Group, have already been paid compensation, a detailed plan for the construction of a multi-storey residential complex is ready.

"The original project provided for long solid buildings, but, given the new trends in construction, the project was radically changed. On the recommendation of the mayor's office and the chief architect of the city, the building density was reduced by 30%, and it was decided to abandon long solid buildings, " said Yerzhan Abdikadirov, President of SABA Group.

This is done for the free movement of air flows, which is important for Almaty. Tower-type buildings allow air flows to pass through well and do not delay them, and due to their height, they lower the upper cold flows, thereby increasing the wind speed in the lower part of the buildings.

In addition, the construction of" towers " leaves more space for filling in the yard area. So, six football fields have already been placed in the courtyards, and residents will be able to ride bicycles on bike paths on the territory of the residential complex. And for hiking, there are separate paths with a total length of more than 700 meters.

Special attention will be paid to the landscaping of the territory, as part of the project, about 1,000 different trees and shrubs will be planted, and the courtyard with an area of 2.5 hectares will become a park area. In addition, the Comfort City project also provides for social and household facilities. For example, it is planned to place medical institutions, sports facilities, preschool institutions, supermarkets and retail areas for various types of services.

"As part of our social responsibility, we have committed to build a new building for school No. 125, located next to the facility under construction. The building will accommodate up to 600 new students. A memorandum was signed with the Department of Education of the city of Almaty, a project is being developed. The building will be put into operation until the construction of the residential complex is completed, " the head of SABA Group explained.

Within the framework of the "Zhasyl Almaty" program, the developer will be engaged in planting green spaces-both on the territory of the residential complex itself and in other areas of the city. To date, SABA Group has already planted more than 500 trees in Bostandyk and Turksib districts.
