Implementation of a project for the development of industrial parks
The presence of sites with systemically organized engineering communications in the Industrial zone dictates the conditions for placing large-scale projects with serious and confirmed funding. However, The President’s Address focused on the development of not only large, but also small and medium-sized businesses. The development of small and medium-sized businesses in the current conditions is problematic, so the Management company offers to develop and implement the “Prompark” project for enterprises with technologically close production facilities that do not create emissions of harmful substances into the environment.
By the end of 2020, four small industrial parks will be launched on the territory of the industrial zone of Almaty. Currently, developers (“KazStroyTrade” LLP, “D&J “Industries & Logistic” LLP, “AlaEstate” LLP, “ADSIndustries” LLP) are completing design work and plan to start construction and installation work on the sites.
The total area of production facilities will be 36 thousand m2. They will house more than 70 production facilities in the construction, furniture, light and food industries. It is planned to create more than 1,100 new jobs.
The project for the development of small industrial parks is implemented under the program for the development of small and medium-sized businesses “Almaty business-2025”, under which production facilities will be built in the city with investors or owners of production bases.Industrial premises will be provided to SMEs on preferential terms: at a fixed rental rate for a period of 5-7 years, regardless of devaluation risks. The cost of renting a room is 1000-1200 tenge / m2. the cost of buying a room is up to 145,000 tenge/m2. More than 70 companies have already shown interest in participating in a small industrial Park in the industrial zone of Almaty.
To date, four industrial parks (brotmaster LLP, AlaEstate LLP, SamrukGroup LLP and Aspara LLP) are already operating in Almaty. They are engaged in the production of furniture, haberdashery, beverages, coffee roasting, and construction materials. Negotiations are underway with potential participants on the placement of paper production, spoiler products, etc.
Advantages of implementing industrial Park projects: introduction of empty industrial and administrative premises in the city; assistance in creating and developing businesses in areas with low business activity (new jobs, taxes); preferential financing rates of 2-6%.
In the future, enterprises located in the industrial zone should become leaders in their industries and examples of technical modernization of industrial production in the city of Almaty.
