The construction boom continues, and the “Sakhovat” and “Gandzhina” markets are living out their last days

On February 14, the head of the Firdausi district, Umed Gurezoda, informed journalists at a conference that more than 100 residential houses are planned to be built in the Firdausi district. He also stated that the capital markets “Sakhovat” and “Gandzhina” will be demolished.

The municipal leader hopes for financial opportunities that will help build an innovation park. The official did not provide any information about alternatives for small and medium businesses that are losing their income-generating locations.

The National Information Agency “Khovar,” citing Gurezoda, reported that the Firdausi district will be actively developed, and that several educational institutions for children and adolescents with a total of just under 10,000 people are planned to be built by the 35th anniversary of the country’s independence. More than a hundred high-rise residential buildings will be constructed. In addition to the aforementioned, the authorities intend to build factories, shopping centers, and leisure areas for the citizens.

Asia-Plus reports that in 2016, the authorities intended to demolish both markets and build an architectural complex “Istikloliyat” (Independence) in their place. However, the “Istikloliyat” complex was built in the city center. Now we will monitor how the authorities’ intentions will be realized around the territory of the former mass trading points.
