Concord business complex in Almaty
Concord is a six-storey business complex at 26a Abai Avenue, a five-minute walk from Republic Square. The building is low-rise and visually recognisable: its marks are the red brick and the courtyard. Below is what is known about the building, why there is so little independent data on it and what non-obvious advantage it has over its neighbours.

A small building in the centre
The complex was completed in 2005 and has six floors. The total area is 11,536 sq m, the lettable area 10,036 sq m, the ceiling height 3 metres and the seismic resistance 9 points. Layouts are offered both open-plan and cellular, and the flooring is carpet. The class of the building is stated as B+.
Six floors across ten thousand square metres of lettable space produce a noticeable practical effect: the load on the lifts here is fundamentally lower than in a tower of comparable volume, and evacuation scenarios are simpler. For companies sensitive to the time it takes to get upstairs and to the density of the morning traffic in the lobby, the low-rise format is an advantage in its own right, and one that is rarely spelled out in listings.
The architecture is a strength of the property in its own right: the modern look, the bright and clean interior, the courtyard and the red brick cladding. For business Almaty, where most properties of the mid-2000s look alike, a recognisable façade is a small but real plus for the address.
A hundred and forty spaces for ten thousand metres
The surface car park holds 140 spaces. This ratio is worth stating in figures: roughly one space per 72 square metres of lettable area. For the central part of Almaty, where one space per 100 square metres and worse is considered the norm, that is noticeably above average.
The importance of this parameter is hard to overstate. The street here is dense, Republic Square and the administrative buildings are all around, and there is virtually no free parking on Abai Avenue. A building where there are enough spaces not just for the management removes the main source of daily irritation for staff and the main cause of conflict between tenants.
A caveat: the parking is at surface level, so in winter cars stand under the snow and in summer in the sun, and on days when events are held on Republic Square access can be difficult. Exactly how many spaces are allocated to a specific unit and whether they are included in the rent is a question for the owner rather than for a catalogue.
Engineering
The engineering specification of the building is standard for a property of its class and year; central air conditioning deserves a separate note — in buildings of 2005 vintage in Almaty it is not always encountered.
- central air conditioning
- supply and exhaust ventilation
- lifts — their presence is confirmed, the number is not stated in the sources
- surface parking for 140 cars
- ceiling height of 3 m, seismic resistance of 9 points
- guarded site, opening hours on weekdays from 09:00 to 18:00
Almost everything rests on a single catalogue
About this building it is worth speaking plainly. Practically all the technical parameters — the year, the areas, the ceilings, the seismic resistance, the air conditioning, the ventilation, the parking and the Class B+ itself — are published only by the market descriptions, and those go back to a single database, so their agreement does not give two independent confirmations. No website of the complex could be found; the site address listed in the city directories says nothing about the building and at the time of checking led to an unrelated portal.
Little is independently confirmed: the six-storey height — given by both the city directories and the mapping services — along with the address, the district and the opening hours. The developer, the architect and the management company are named nowhere. The building has no environmental certificates, and the typical floor plate and data on backup power supply are not published.
A separate warning about confusion in search results. Several search summaries place the building in the Almaly district, whereas the primary entries of the city directories, the mapping services and the market descriptions unanimously give Bostandyk. Another overview article attributes to the complex five above-ground floors, 10,197 sq m and car parks for 30 and 150 cars — these figures are not confirmed by any primary source and evidently relate to a different property.
Republic Square five minutes away
The nearest metro station is Abai, about a kilometre away and around fourteen minutes on foot; Baikonur station is roughly 1.5 km, eighteen minutes. Surface transport works better here: the Republic Square stop is 231 metres from the building, the “St. im. Abaya” stop 255 metres and Kainar 463 metres. Three stops within a five-minute walk is significant for staff without a car.
Republic Square itself with the Independence Monument is roughly five hundred metres away. This is not only a representative address but also a practical setting: administrative buildings, banks, restaurants and the hotels of the centre are within walking distance. For companies that people regularly visit for meetings, this is one of the most convenient addresses in the city.
Inside the building, according to the available data, a small number of organisations is registered, and Kaspi services are marked on the maps as separate points — a credit broker, a card terminal, a cash machine and a parcel terminal. No source publishes a full list of office tenants, which for a building of this size is to be expected.
Weak points and what to clarify before the lease
The strengths of the building are apparent at once and hold up consistently: the modern office format, the thoughtfulness of the working environment, the cleanliness and the bright interior, and separately the architectural solution and the courtyard.
The weak points are few, and almost none of them are about the building itself. The main one is the canteen at the complex: its prices and the quality of the food do raise questions. Beyond that there are the toilets, available only to the staff of tenants, and a separate instance of brusque behaviour by a security guard. The building has no systemic problems with the engineering, the lifts or the parking — and that is perhaps the most substantive thing that can be said about it.
Before signing the lease it is worth establishing four things. First, the number of parking spaces allocated to the unit and their cost: the parking at the building is good, but the allocation is still determined by the lease. Second, the composition of the service charge and the procedure for indexing it. Third, the condition of the unit and what the fit-out includes, given the age of the building. Fourth, the real area from a measurement: since almost all the figures for the building come from a single catalogue, they should be checked against documents rather than against a listing.
