The construction of the residential complex “Vesna” was launched in 2015. Today, 8 multi-apartment buildings with a total area of 162 thousand square meters have been commissioned. Until the end of 2020, it is planned to hand over another 5 residential facilities.

Radik Salimgaraev, the general director of the developer OOO “Unistroy”, said that the RC “Vesna” includes a park area located on the Noksa River embankment. Walking alleys, bicycle tracks, children's play areas are well-equipped, and special areas for walking and training pets have been created.

Vitaly Mutko and Rustam Minnikhanov examined the yard of the house №10 on Abbasov Street. The traffic is limited in the yard and the access is denied to outsiders. An underground parking lot has been created and guest places have been moved outside the yard for the convenience of residents. The territory of each house is fenced, equipped with a video surveillance system and is under protection. Playgrounds have been created as well.

Then Vitaly Mutko and Rustam Minnikhanov assessed the apartments and talked to local residents.

Infrastructure includes classrooms for elementary, middle and senior grades, a library, and an assembly hall. There is a spacious gym for physical education.

Vitaliy Mutko noted that the housing sector of Tatarstan demonstrates a very good pace of construction and commissioning of housing. “Specifically in this micro-district, advanced approaches of integrated development of the territory are used. Our task is to build complex micro-districts so that there is the necessary environment. We must get away from the concept of “remote areas”. The necessary conditions must be created for people of all ages. All this is provided for in this micro-district”, marked the Deputy Prime Minister of the RF.

Citizens were also informed about the new mechanism using escrow accounts. Rustam Minnikhanov added that soon, a meeting will be held with representatives of the initiative groups of shareholders at the Government of the RT.
