On September 1, during his working visit to Naberezhnye Chelny, Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov took part in a ceremony to mark the commissioning of the first rental house for specialists of Naberezhnye Chelny IT park.

A 118-apartment ten-storey house built by the Tatarstan State Housing Foundation is located not far from the IT-park. The house is rented to non-resident IT specialists without transferring the ownership to its tenants.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Rustam Minnikhanov noted that the IT-park is a special environment for special people. "We should attract these people from other cities and regions as well, therefore, we decided to build a rental house for employees, so that IT specialists come and live here,” Minnikhanov said.

According to him, this house is one of the first experiences of the republic in the construction of rental housing. In the future, similar houses will be opened in the Innopolis smart city in Kazan and near the Alabuga Special Economic Zone.

Rustam Minnikhanov looked around apartments in the new house and talked to its future tenants.
