Today, the third
long-term construction has been completed in Kazan -the first house of the
residential complex “Molodezhny”. First deputy
Prime Minister Rustam Nigmatullin and the mayor of Kazan Ilsur Metshin
congratulated the new tenants on the long-awaited event.
“We’ve been
waiting for 5 years, it is an exciting moment for us”
The building of the house for 108 apartments was
started in 2014 by a construction company “Fon”. In 2015, due to financial pressure,
the construction was stopped. Last year, OOO “Ak Tash Invest” joined the
completion of the unfinished venue.
“It is the fifth house of defrauded homebuyers that
has been finally constructed in the Republic this year, in Kazan – the third.
We hope to finish the construction of five more houses in the Republic by the
end of the year”, – Rustam Nigmatullin noted.
Rustam Nigmatullin and Ilsur Metshin inspected two
apartments in the house with a base building condition.
Elena Semyonova on behalf of all shareholders thanked the
Republican government and the mayor. She expressed special gratitude to the
first deputy head of the Executive Committee Azat Nigmatzyanov. “We’ve been
waiting for 5 years -it is a long time. For us, this is an exciting and important
moment, because for many of us it is the first apartment,” - said Elena Semyonova.
“We finished the
construction of every home with incredible efforts”
The so-called first wave of defrauded homebuyers was
in 2008. At that time there were 75 problem venues in Kazan. “We were close to
resolve a problem, but in 2015 there appeared 30 more problem houses”, - the mayor
reminded.
In 2018, a Republican Fund was established to solve
the problems of defrauded homebuyers in Tatarstan.
Before that, the problems, according to the mayor, had
to be solved occasionally. “All 30 houses are challenging, with different
issues. The only similarity is defrauded homebuyers, people who paid their
money or home loans, - said I. Metshin. - Together with the President of
Tatarstan and the Government of the Republic, we made decisions for each house.
We finished the construction with incredible efforts.”
I.Metshin noted that by the beginning of 2020 only 10
out of 30 buildings will remain unfinished in Kazan.
The mayor of Kazan has reminded that a decision was
made at the Federal Government which will allow to avoid new cases with
defrauded homebuyers. Thus, in Russia, the Federal legislation has been changed.
The new procedure, which began to operate this year, provides for the
transition of developers from equity contracts to project financing, and the
funds of shareholders will arrive in the escrow accounts of authorized banks.
The houses of
the deceived shareholders will be completed together with the Dom.RF
This year, another fund was created in Tatarstan to
solve the problems of defrauded homebuyers, which will work directly with the
Federal Fund Dom.RF.
“It is important that on the eve of the new year we
have a clear understanding of how we will finish the construction of each house
- in what terms and by what means,” - I.Metshin said in his turn.
