Almaty Residence business centre in Almaty
Almaty Residence is an eleven-storey business centre at 60 Auezov Street in the Almaly district. Its main feature is a very large floor: 1,300 sq m, with a total building area of 15,000 sq m. The year of construction, meanwhile, could not be established from any source, and on the developer we ran into a typical trap of search results, which we describe below honestly. We go through what is confirmed, what is not and what to look at when choosing a unit.

A large floor plate and what it gives you
Eleven floors, 15,000 sq m of total area, 12,270 sq m lettable and 1,300 sq m on a typical floor. The ratio is unusual: eleven floors and a wide plate at the same time. In this selection the typical floor area is named for twenty-seven buildings, and only seven of them have a wider one — Alatau Grand, Delovoy Dom Alma-Ata, Q2, Moskva, Almaty Plaza, Capital Tower and ICON.
The practical meaning is simple. A company of a hundred and fifty people or more fits on a single level in its entirety: there is no need to split the team across floors, no need to move people between departments by lift, and the layout can be assembled as a single space with meeting rooms and private offices around the perimeter. For a call centre, the back office of a bank or an insurance company, or a project office, this is a decisive advantage over a tower with floors of 400 metres.
Seismic resistance is stated as 9 points, the ventilation is natural and the air conditioning is local, that is, by split systems rather than by a central system. The last point is important to understand in advance: on a deep plate of 1,300 metres, local air conditioning means that the climate in the middle of the space will have to be solved by design rather than left to the building’s general system. Finishes are offered with carpet, laminate or tile, and layouts open-plan and cellular.
- underground car park for 100 cars
- seismic resistance of 9 points
- natural ventilation, local air conditioning
- a café, a restaurant, a mini-market and a pharmacy in the building
- a bank branch

The year of construction is not found — and why we do not write 2010
The year the building was commissioned is given nowhere — neither on the property’s own website, nor in the industry catalogues, nor in the city directories. Targeted searches about the history and the opening of the building also produced nothing, so the year has been left blank in the specifications.
One of the search summaries carried the year 2010 together with a ceiling height of 3.2 metres and three passenger lifts — with a reference to a catalogue page. When that page is opened directly, none of these values is on it. This is a classic trap: a search summary produces plausible figures that do not exist in the source.
So we say it plainly: the year of construction is unknown, the ceiling height is unknown, the number of lifts is unknown. We will not publish an unverified value on a page from which it would also find its way into the markup for search engines. If the year matters to you — for assessing the condition of the engineering, for instance — request it from the owner with a document.
Why we do not name the developer
The story of the developer deserves a separate explanation, because it shows how facts of this kind are verified. The search results twice, under different wordings, returned the entry of an international developer with the assertion that it had built this building, and with a set of specific characteristics: surface parking for 30 cars in addition to the underground one, two high-speed lifts, an electronic pass system, a concierge service.
When that page is opened directly, there is nothing of the sort on it: it holds the company’s portfolio of projects in other countries, and Almaty is not mentioned at all. Not one of the listed facts is confirmed by any other source — neither the surface parking nor the number of lifts. The catalogues and our own data speak only of an underground car park for 100 cars and of lifts without a stated number.
The conclusion: the attribution of the developer is not confirmed and we do not publish it. The architect and the management company have likewise not been established — targeted searches produced only lists of unrelated Almaty management companies, none of which is tied to this building.
A cinema on the list of amenities
In the list of the building’s amenities published by the catalogues, among a pharmacy, a cash machine, a buffet, a café, shops, a mini-market, a bank branch and a restaurant, there appears a cinema. It is a striking item, and we tried to verify it.
The name or the current status could not be established. The cinema chains show no venues at this address. The nearest establishment with a cinema format is at a neighbouring address on the same street and, judging by the description, is a small screening room for private groups rather than a cinema in the building.
The most likely explanation is that the list reflects a small hall inside the business centre that can be used both as a conference room and as a screening room. This is worth checking at the viewing: if you need a hall for events, ask about it directly rather than relying on a line in a description.
Who works here
The building lists 27 organisations. The mix is varied and noticeably oriented towards receiving visitors: a branch of Bank CenterCredit JSC, the medical company Longevity Med, the city department for entrepreneurship and industrial and innovative development, the Dream Team children’s centre, a yoga studio, the patent and law firm Almaty Trademark Office, a notary and a travel agency.
The presence of a city department is a detail worth knowing about: it means a regular flow of visitors on government matters during working hours. The children’s centre and the yoga studio add evening and weekend traffic. Combined with the bank branch on the lower floors, this makes the building a busy one rather than a quiet office house.
For a tenant who needs a highly recognisable address that is convenient for clients, this is a plus. For those looking for a closed corporate perimeter, the access regime to your own floor is worth discussing with the management service separately.
Cleanliness, cats and queues for the lifts
The profile of the building is the receiving of visitors, and that is visible in the tenant mix: the bank, the medical company, the city department, the children’s centre and the yoga studio all work with an external flow of people. For a tenant this has two consequences. The lifts and the car park are loaded precisely during the daytime hours, rather than in the morning and the evening as in a purely office building. And wayfinding inside matters more than usual: if your clients come to you themselves, the position of the unit relative to the entrance and the lift lobby is worth looking at separately.
The strengths are specific and varied: the cleanliness and the pleasant smell in the foyer, the spacious lobby with planting, the friendliness of the reception and security staff, the convenient location with coffee shops and cash machines nearby. A separate theme is the cats living in the building, which count here as a local landmark.
The weak points are specific too. The first and the main one is the shortage of parking spaces, even though the underground car park is designed for a hundred cars. The second is the queues for the lifts, noticeable enough that splitting the cars between odd and even floors suggests itself. For an eleven-storey building with a plate of 1,300 metres that is to be expected: the more people on a floor, the heavier the load on the vertical transport. The third group is mixed: a smell in certain areas and an inconsistent manner from some of the administration staff — even though the work of the personnel remains, on the whole, a strength of the building.
Location and what to clarify
The nearest metro station is Alatau, about 1.06 km away, some thirteen minutes on foot. Mukhtar Auezov Theatre station is roughly a kilometre and a half away. The nearest surface transport stop, Diagnostic Centre, is 130 metres from the building.
Auezov Street is one of the main north–south streets of the city, and that defines the accessibility profile: a convenient approach from the north and the south, dense traffic at peak hours. There is one metro station within reasonable walking distance here, which is not always the case in the Almaly district.
Before signing the lease it is worth finding out: the year of construction of the building with a document, since it is not in open sources; the ceiling height in the specific unit; how many lifts the building has and how they cope at nine in the morning — check in person; how many parking spaces are allocated to the unit and how visitor passes are issued; how the climate in the depth of the plate is solved given the local air conditioning; whether there is a backup power supply, if you need one; and what exactly the hall described as a cinema actually is.
Questions and answers
In what year was Almaty Residence built?
The year of construction is recorded nowhere: it is given neither by the property’s own website, nor by the industry catalogues, nor by the city directories. A mention of the year 2010 was encountered, but it was not confirmed on direct checking, so the year has been left blank in the specifications.
Who is the developer of the building?
Not established. The search results linked the property to one international developer, but when its page is opened directly there is no mention of Almaty on it, and the characteristics quoted in the summary are not confirmed by any other source. We consider the attribution unconfirmed. The architect and the management company have likewise not been found.
What is the floor area in the building?
The typical floor is 1,300 sq m, with eleven floors, a total area of 15,000 sq m and a lettable area of 12,270 sq m. Of the twenty-three Class B buildings in the selection the floor area is published for six, and only Delovoy Dom Alma-Ata has a wider one — 2,500 sq m across eleven floors. The practical meaning is simple: a team of a hundred and fifty people fits on a single level in its entirety.
What air conditioning does the building have?
Local, that is, by split systems rather than by a central system; the ventilation is natural. On a plate of 1,300 sq m this means that the climate in the depth of the space has to be solved by the fit-out design rather than left to the building’s general system. This point is worth discussing before signing the lease.
What amenities are there in the building?
The building houses a pharmacy, a cash machine, a buffet, a café, shops, a mini-market, a bank branch and a restaurant; a small cinema hall is also mentioned, the name and current status of which could not be confirmed. In total the property has 27 organisations, among them a bank branch, a medical company, a city department, a children’s centre, a yoga studio, a patent and law firm and a notary.
How can I find out available space and rents?
Rents for the building are not published in open sources. Send a request and we will ask the owner for the currently vacant units and put together comparable offers in the Almaly district.
