What the building is
The ratio of areas at this property is unusual: 82% of the building is given over to letting with only seven floors. That means the floors here are large and flexible in layout, while the losses to common areas — lift lobbies, corridors, plant rooms — are noticeably lower than in high-rise properties. For a tenant this has two practical consequences. First: the payment is more closely tied to the space you actually use. Second: a large team can be placed on a single level without splitting it across floors, which simplifies both management and internal logistics.
The tenant mix is disclosed better than at most Almaty business centres, because the companies themselves give the address with the name of the building. Working here are the representative office of Osram on the second floor, the recruitment company GTR and the advertising agency G-Force Grey on the seventh, the information and implementation company Prime Source on the sixth, and the drilling company Ak-Niet Burga also on the seventh. In total the building holds eighteen organisations. The profile of the residents is noticeably more varied than at the banking addresses of the centre: a manufacturing and trading representative office, a staffing agency, advertising, IT and oilfield services under one roof.
Some of the data on the property diverges publicly, and this is worth knowing in advance. The class of the building is given differently in different descriptions: in some places B, in others B+. The year of construction is not stated publicly anywhere, and it will have to be clarified with the management company. For a tenant this is not a formality: between B and B+ on the Almaty market lies a tangible difference in rent, while the year of completion and the date of the last major upgrade of the engineering affect what to expect from the climate systems and the lifts a couple of years from now.
A separate trap is the number of floors. Part of the search results for the name “Khan Tengri” returns 27 floors: those are the data of the residential complex of the same name, not of the business centre, and they have nothing to do with the office building. Descriptions of the business centre itself agree on seven floors, so seven is taken as correct. The properties have to be separated by address: the business centre is at 22/5 Kazhymukan Street. When comparing offers and when commissioning a valuation, this check is worth doing first, otherwise the characteristics of somebody else's building will end up on the shortlist.
Infrastructure and engineering
The set of services at the property is dense: a fitness centre, a food court, a conference hall, a café, shops and a supermarket, with a hotel, a residential complex and a park nearby. A conference hall in the building itself is an underrated thing: for a company that regularly runs training, interviews or client meetings it removes the need to rent an outside venue and to fit its schedule around somebody else's calendar. The food court and the supermarket cover lunch and the everyday tasks of staff without leaving the site, which carries separate value when there is no metro nearby.
The engineering provision: supply and exhaust ventilation, central air conditioning, lifts, seismic resistance of 9 points, security. An accessible environment is stated separately — a ramp, a wide lift and an accessible entrance for people with disabilities. Among Almaty properties this is rarely mentioned, and for a tenant with inclusivity requirements — a government organisation, a medical or educational company, a large international employer with an internal accessibility policy — it is a practical argument rather than a line in a description. At a viewing it is worth checking the whole route: from the car park to the workplace and to the lavatory.

Location and transport
The address is 22/5 Kazhymukan Street, Medeu district. This is a well-established part of the city with residential development, a park and a hotel close by, that is, calm surroundings well provided with services. For staff that means a normal lunch scenario and the ability to deal with everyday errands next to work, and for a company receiving guests it means a decent visual frame around the office.
The weak point of the address is its connection to the metro. The estimated walking time to Abay station is about 44 minutes, that is, there is effectively no pedestrian link to the metro. All staff traffic goes by car or surface transport. When planning a relocation this has to be built into the calculation: work out how many people in the team travel by metro now and what will change for them in journey time. In practice it is precisely this point, rather than the rent, that most often becomes the reason candidates turn an offer down.
The number of parking spaces at the property is not publicly stated. For a building with 12,300 sq m of lettable space this is the most substantial gap in the open data, and it has to be closed with questions at a viewing: how many spaces there are in total, how many are allocated to a unit of your size, whether they are paid or included in the rent, whether there are visitor spaces and how entry is arranged for company clients. The answers are worth obtaining in writing and entering into the lease — with no metro nearby, parking stops being a convenience and becomes a condition of the office working at all.
Who it suits and what to check when choosing a unit
The minimum unit in the building is 206 sq m, and that immediately rules out very small teams. The property is designed for a company that needs a single office for two or three dozen people and more: a staffing or advertising agency, an IT division, an engineering or service company, a regional representative office of a manufacturer. The varied mix of residents already established in the building shows that the management company works with tenants of different profiles and does not build a narrow sector environment.
The building is noticeably busy with through traffic: the food court, the supermarket and the varied mix of residents produce a constant flow of visitors, some of whom are not going to the offices at all. The lift lobby and the entrance to the site therefore have to be seen precisely at the morning peak rather than in the quiet middle of the day. Assess how long you wait for a lift, how the flows of food court visitors and office staff are separated, whether there is a separate access circuit to the upper floors and how the pass regime works for company guests.
On the economics: the rent is stated as 18,000 ₸ per sq m per month, and the service charges are not disclosed separately. That means the first thing to find out is what exactly is included in that figure and what is counted on top — cleaning, waste removal, security, maintenance of the ventilation and air conditioning, electricity by meter, internet. With a unit from 206 sq m, even a small addition per square metre per month turns into a noticeable annual sum, and comparing buildings without an itemised breakdown of the payments is pointless.
What else to discuss before signing: the term of the lease and the indexation arrangements, the conditions for an early exit and the notice period, the size of the security deposit, who carries out and pays for the fit-out and what happens to it on departure, and the arrangements for access outside working hours and at weekends. If an accessible environment is critical for you, record the obligations to maintain it in the lease — the ramp and the wide lift are declared, but their working condition and servicing are tested precisely in day-to-day operation.
What to compare before deciding
The first comparison is money on an annual basis. A rent of 18,000 ₸ per sq m per month gives 216,000 ₸ per sq m per year, and it is in that form that it is convenient to set against other buildings in the Medeu district. But what has to be compared is not the rent but the full cost of a workplace: rent plus service charges, plus parking, plus one-off investment in fit-out spread across the term of the lease. A building with a higher rent but with the service charges included and spaces allocated often works out cheaper in the end.
The second is the choice of space. A large lettable area across seven floors means there are physically more layout options here and more chance of finding a unit of the configuration you need than in compact properties at the same rent. If your requirement is non-standard — for example, you need a whole floor or premises with a separate entrance for a client zone — this parameter is worth weighing alongside the price.
The third is the transport model. The absence of a pedestrian link to the metro at a distance of about 44 minutes is not an abstract inconvenience but an expense: corporate transport, parking, allowances, longer hiring. Take a couple of addresses with genuine walking access to a station, work out the difference in rent and set it against those expenses. Sometimes a more expensive address by the metro turns out to be cheaper, sometimes the reverse — but the decision has to rest on calculated figures rather than on a feeling.
The fourth is how ready the space is and the timing. A unit with fit-out is more expensive in rent but lets you move in quickly; space needing refurbishment is cheaper but adds the design, the approval and the works to the date the team goes on site. Clarify in advance which alterations the management company will approve and within what timeframe: with large units this stage often turns out to be longer than people expect.
Questions and answers
How many floors does the Khan Tengri business centre have?
Seven. If a search turns up 27 floors, those are the data of the residential complex of the same name, not of the business centre. The properties have to be separated by address: the business centre is at 22/5 Kazhymukan Street in the Medeu district of Almaty.
What class is the building and in what year was it built?
The class is given differently in different descriptions: some sources place the building in B, others in B+. The year of construction is not publicly stated and is clarified with the management company. Both questions are worth closing before negotiations, since the class directly affects the rent.
What is the rent and what is the minimum unit?
The rent is stated at 18,000 ₸ per sq m per month, which gives 216,000 ₸ per sq m per year. The minimum unit is 206 sq m. The service charges are not disclosed separately, so the make-up of the payments has to be established with the owner before signing.
Is there parking at the Khan Tengri business centre?
The number of parking spaces is not publicly stated. For a building with 12,300 sq m of lettable space this is a substantial gap, and the question has to be closed at a viewing: how many spaces are allocated to a unit, whether they are paid, whether there are visitor spaces. The terms are worth entering into the lease.
Is it far to the metro?
The estimated walking time to Abay station is about 44 minutes, that is, there is no pedestrian link to the metro. Staff get here by car or surface transport. When planning a relocation this is worth calculating in advance: the team's journey times change noticeably.
How can I find out current availability and terms?
Owners do not publish some units openly. Send a request and we will collect the current options in the building and comparable offers in the Medeu district with an itemised breakdown of the payments. The search is free for tenants.
