«Tatarstan is a leader in the Volga Federal District and is among the TOP 6 regions of the Russian Federation in terms of the annual volume of housing commissioned. In 2021, a record 3 million 11 thousand square meters of housing stock were introduced in the Republic,» the head of the Ministry of Construction of the Republic of Tatarstan presented information to the guests.
As Marat Aizatullin noted, to ensure the construction of such a volume of housing, a large and developed team of developers is needed - 108 developers are currently operating in the Republic, 205 MKD with a living area of almost 2 million square meters is under construction. A lot of work is being carried out within the construction and repair of apartment buildings, socio-cultural facilities, modernization of engineering infrastructure and renovation of public spaces.
A programmatic approach helps to systematize the construction process. The «Our Yard» program, which started in 2020, has become unprecedented on the scale of Russia. Within two years, 2,167 yard territories were equipped within the framework of the program, this year the work will be completed on 1,212 yards.
