What the building is
The complex stands at the junction of Dostyk and Turkestan and consists of two towers linked by a retail gallery. One tower is given over to offices, the second is occupied by The Ritz-Carlton hotel. The developer of the complex is Astana Property Management, a company within Bulat Utemuratov's Verny Capital group; the total area of the whole complex is estimated at around 120,000 sq m, so the office part is only a fragment of a much larger property.
The office tower has 30 floors, 24 of them given over exclusively to offices; the lettable area of the office part is estimated at 30,000 sq m. Sitting next to a hotel gives a tenant a practical benefit that few addresses in the capital can offer: the hotel's meeting and banqueting venues, rooms for visiting colleagues and its restaurants sit within the same perimeter as the workplaces, so receiving a delegation does not require separate logistics across the city.
What sets the property apart from the rest of office Astana is not its height but the set of technical parameters the owner publishes itself. Ceilings are over 3 m, daylight reaches 90% of a typical floor plate, and the stated loss ratio of fitted-out units is 15%. The last figure is worth unpacking: the loss ratio is the share of floor area a tenant pays for but does not use for workplaces — corridors, washrooms and service rooms. In a typical Kazakhstan B+ building 20–25% is regarded as normal, and at an equal rent per square metre the result per employee works out differently here.
A tenant can take either a fitted-out office or space in shell and core condition for its own design. A separate format is the Executive Hub: 1,276 sq m of serviced offices with a reception, cleaning and technical support, let on short terms. This answers a specific demand in the capital: representative offices come to Astana for a project or for a period of work with government bodies and are not prepared to sign a long lease with fit-out and furnishing.
Building services and engineering
The set of systems and services matches Class A and is designed for a tenant who arrives by car, by bicycle and on a business trip alike. The building is certified to LEED Gold. For a tenant this is first of all a question of running costs and reporting: international companies with an ESG policy use the certificate as formal grounds for choosing a site, while for everyone else it means predictable air quality, lighting and resource consumption.
Parking totals 500 spaces: a two-level underground car park plus surface spaces, with the entrances split between two streets, one off Dostyk and one off Turkestan. For the left bank this is a rare configuration: most towers in the quarter have a single entrance, and at peak hours the queue to get in backs up onto the carriageway. Split entrances have a direct effect on the time an employee actually reaches their desk.
Retail operators trade in the gallery between the towers, and on the third level there is the Rabbit Canteen café. Bicycle parking with showers is infrastructure that only a handful of buildings in Astana claim, and for a company with a young team it is a tangible argument in hiring rather than a line in a brochure.

Location and transport
16 Dostyk Street is the left bank, the Yesil district, the business core of the capital. Around it are government buildings, office towers and hotels; the neighbouring addresses 18 and 20 Dostyk Street are within walking distance. For a company to which a prestigious address and proximity to state institutions matter, this is one of the strongest positions in the city.
The complex lies within the boundaries of the special AIFC zone. A participant of the centre that rents an office here receives the tax treatment of income from financial services provided for by the AIFC regime — this is what distinguishes 16 Dostyk Street from the neighbouring 18 and 20 Dostyk Street, which do not have that status. For a financial company planning to register as an AIFC participant, the choice of building stops being purely a question of rent and comfort and becomes part of the legal structure of the business.
Transport logic on the left bank is built around the car: distances between quarters are long and walking is uncomfortable in winter. Hence the practical value of two car park entrances and underground storage of vehicles. If part of the staff travels by public transport, routes and journey times should be checked at the morning and evening peak rather than in the middle of the day, when the picture looks better than it really is.
Who it suits and what to check when choosing a unit
The profile of the building is companies for which the address is part of the price of the service: financial organisations and AIFC participants, legal and consulting practices, representative offices of international groups, head offices. A separate category is companies with a short assignment in the capital: for them there is the Executive Hub with serviced offices and a lease for a short term.
What to check about a unit. First, the form of delivery: a fitted-out office or shell and core. The difference in move-in date is usually measured in months, and in budget by a sum comparable to a year of rent. Second, how the payable area is calculated and whether the stated 15% is confirmed for your particular unit: the figure for the building and the figure for a specific floor are not the same thing, and the discrepancy is easy to verify against the measurement plan.
Third, lift traffic. With 30 floors and 24 office levels the morning peak is resolved not by the number of cars but by zoning the groups and by how the turnstiles in the lobby work; look at the lobby between eight and ten in the morning rather than at a convenient time set by the agent. Fourth, parking: how many spaces are allocated to the unit in writing, on which level they are and how visitor spaces are arranged.
Fifth, service charges. In a certified Class A building the make-up of this line is broader than in an ordinary office: climate control, security, cleaning of common areas, maintenance of the engineering systems, upkeep of the car park and the gallery. Ask for a breakdown before signing, together with the lease term, the indexation procedure and the conditions for an early exit.
What to compare before deciding
As of October 2025 analysts quoted an asking rent for the building of 27,000 ₸ per sq m per month — the highest in a sample of 21 operating business centres in Astana and roughly twice the city median. That makes the choice a deliberate one: for such a difference a tenant buys specific things — AIFC status, certification, a low loss ratio, two car park entrances and a hotel next door. If your business needs none of these, the comparison is better made with other buildings.
A correct comparison is by cost per workplace, not by rent per square metre. With a stated 15% of area lost against 20–25% in a typical B+ building, the gap in rent is partly offset by the fact that there are fewer payable but unused metres. Add service charges, parking and the amortised cost of fit-out to the calculation — and compare the total, not the headline of the offer.
The second parameter is the format and the term. If a presence in the capital is needed for a limited period, the Executive Hub is compared not with renting a floor in a neighbouring building but with flexible office formats: the economics and the horizon of commitment there are different.
A separate item to check is the management company. The building's own website names Lynks Property Management, while an earlier industry article names a different team. Both versions are worth keeping in mind: for a tenant a change of manager means a change of access rules and of the way service charges are calculated, not cosmetics. Establish who runs the building today before signing the lease.
