Ilsur Metshin: “70% of the premises offered for auction on preferential rent were realized”

(KZN.RU, June 5, Alsu Safina). 70% of the premises offered for auction under the city program of preferential rent, were realized for today. Ilsur Metshin, the Mayor of Kazan, noted on the Business Monday that this is a good result. At the same time, the Mayor marked that it is necessary to find out why the remaining 30% of premises are not in demand among entrepreneurs.

“70% of the premises is a good number, considering that it was unmarketable and it literally “hung” on our neck. Including in financial way: we were paying for utilities and security. Today, these buildings have acquired not just the owner but the owner who invests in his business and plans his activities far in the future”, said the head of the city. “The program is important, we need it, and it needs to be continued”, the Mayor of Kazan is sure.

According to Ilsur Metshin, the programs of preferential rent and preferential lending gave a serious push forward. “Not a few but dozens of entrepreneurs have created their own business. This means that they became active parts of urban life, economy, created jobs, gave people the opportunity to work and earn”, noted the Mayor.

Renat Galyautdinov, the chairman of the Committee for Land and Property Relations, said that currently the list of municipal property, free from the rights of third parties, for providing long-term use to small and medium-sized businesses, contains 106 facilities. Weekly, the committee conducts auction sales of the annual rent of objects, included in this list.

“For today 55 auctions are announced, 67 objects are exposed. 36 objects were exhibited more than once”, the chairman of the CLPR said. He noted that 33 auctions out of the 51, which took place, were declared invalid: 11 ones – in connection with the filing of a single application, 22 ones – in the absence of applications filed. In total, 112 applications were received from entrepreneurs.

“For June 2, 54 rights to conclude a lease contract from 67 objects of auction bidding have been realized. In total, 48 are contracts concluded at the moment”, Renat Galyautdinov cited data and added that the lease contracts are concluded for a period of 5 years.

The speaker reminded that the purpose of the premises offered for auction is limited to such areas as manufacturing, housing and communal services, innovation, consumer services, education, health, folk art, internal tourism, physical education and sports, culture, and private institutions for additional education for children.

This month auctions will be held on 9, 16, 23 and 30 of June. “Technical documentation is being prepared and an independent evaluation to determine the amount of annual rent is carried out for the remaining facilities, included in the list. The objects will be offered for auction in the near future as soon as the documents and reports are ready”, explained the chairman of the CLPR.
