The Deputy Minister cited Toktogul Street as an example, where old adobe houses and dormitories used to be located from Togolok Moldo Street to Mira Avenue. Currently, modern buildings rise on both sides. Private companies entered into agreements with owners, conducted assessments, and offered housing in exchange for old apartments, which allowed for internal renovations. However, now the state wants to take on this responsibility by creating the necessary conditions.
According to Talantbek, if, for example, nine out of ten owners agree to sell their property, one may try to take advantage of the situation and demand a higher price. This can prolong the process, as the interests of one person may hinder the deal for the others. In his opinion, state intervention will help resolve such issues.
It is worth noting that plans for renovation in Bishkek became known in early 2025. The Ministry of Construction emphasizes that to develop the capital and renew the housing stock, it is necessary to find solutions, as available land plots for new constructions are nearly exhausted.
