On July 1, in Kazan, Russian Minister of Construction, Housing and Utilities Mikhail Men and Interim President of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov laid a capsule in the foundation of a new residential complex "Svetlaya Dolina".

Earlier today they took part in reopening of the modernized production line at OOO “Kazan house-building factory” (Kazan DSK). Its products are widely used in construction of a new residential complex “Svetlaya Dolina”. The large-scale Ak Bars Development project with a total area of 38 hectares envisages construction of 21 houses, a school, three kindergartens and other infrastructural facilities.

Speaking at the event Men said that Russia is implementing various housing programmes to support Russian families.

Minnikhanov said that a city for 20 thousand people will be built in the Svetlya Dolina residential complex. "They will live here in comfortable homes with an access to kindergartens, schools and other social facilities. And most importantly, the house, we are laying a foundation stone today will be built using completely new technology that allows us to build it fast and with high quality. And, of course, it will be a model for future large-panel construction,” Minnikhanov said.
