On February 28, the Government of Uzbekistan issued resolution amending the key indicators of the Tashkent City Master Plan 2045, which had been approved on December 24, 2024.
The document includes parameters for investment projects to build new residential areas, hotels, business centers, social facilities, and an industrial zone.
Proposals to amend the master plan were submitted by the National Committee for Urbanization and Sustainable Housing Market Development, the Ministry of Construction, Housing and Utilities, and the Tashkent City Hall.
Investment Projects
According to the resolution, foreign and local investors have developed concepts over $16.2 billion worth of 31 investment projects.
These projects are planned for implementation on 2,311.4 hectares. The construction is expected to generate additional annual revenues of:
- $1.5 billion in gross provincial product;
- 3.5 trillion soums in net tax revenue;
- 260,000 new jobs will be created.
Most are real estate projects in Bektemir, Mirabad, Sergeli, Chilanzar, Yashnabad, Mirzo-Ulugbek, Shaykhantakhur, Yunusabad, Uchtepa, and Yangikhayot districts, including:
- multi-story buildings (including 9- and 16-story buildings),
- residential complexes with commercial space on the ground floors,
- service facilities, and
- social and leisure infrastructure.
Several five-star hotel projects are planned in downtown Tashkent and in other areas.
The Tonino Lamborghini Residences project stands out—it includes premium apartments, a five-star hotel, and a business center.
The list also includes business districts, shopping malls, and multifunctional shopping and service complexes.
Projects include a student dormitory, a clinic, a health center, and service and public infrastructure facilities projects.
In the Yangihayot district, the construction of production and service facilities is planned in the Yangi Avlod industrial zone. The project envisions erecting a large industrial site.
At least 30% for green spaces
The principle of integrated development is enshrined in the implementation of renovation and reconstruction projects. Specifically:
- at least 30% of the territory of each project must be allocated to green spaces;
- comprehensive renovation of neighborhoods with outdated buildings is envisaged;
Furthermore, infrastructure fees paid by developers and other contributions will be used to create additional public parks.
Tashkent Invest, a company affiliated with the Tashkent City mayor's office, will prioritize setting up of new green spaces in nine locations, totaling 139.6 hectares. Once completed, they will be transferred to the conservation zone.
Master Plans and Increased Coefficients
Master plans will be developed for each project within two months, taking into account architectural, engineering, and socioeconomic parameters. These will be reviewed by the Territorial Architectural and Urban Planning Council under the Tashkent Main Construction Department and approved by the city administration.
Investors will be charged infrastructure fees to partially cover the costs of creating utility networks and transport infrastructure.
Increasing coefficients from 1.1 to 3.0 may be applied to the base infrastructure fee rate, depending on the development density, the proportion of green spaces, and the load on social infrastructure. The decision will be made by the Tashkent City Council of People's Deputies based on the recommendations of the Architectural and Urban Planning Council.
The resolution permits use of international and foreign regulatory and technical documents in design and construction, subject to mandatory adaptation to national urban planning standards and expert review.
The design of buildings and enterprises must include provisions for the use of alternative fuels to natural gas and energy-saving technologies.
