Time Square business centre in Almaty
Time Square is a four-storey mixed-use complex built in 2024 in the Samal-3 microdistrict in the Medeu district of Almaty. The total area is 11,492 sq m and the lettable area 9,800 sq m, that is, about 85% of the building is given over to letting. A ceiling height of 4 metres across four floors gives a layout flexibility that high-rise office buildings do not have. Below is what matters to a tenant: the engineering, the infrastructure, transport and what to look at when choosing a unit.

What the building is
The complex was completed in 2024 — one of the recent additions to the office supply of the Medeu district. Formally the building is Class B+, but by its mix of functions it is closer to a mixed-use centre than to a classic cellular business centre: offices, retail, services and leisure sit side by side under one roof. For a tenant this means a different rhythm to the day in the building and a different set of neighbours than in a purely office property.
A telling ratio is total against lettable area: 11,492 sq m versus 9,800 sq m, about 85%. This is an indirect but useful sign: the higher the share of lettable area, the fewer the common zones whose upkeep is ultimately paid for by tenants through the rent and the service charges. This indicator is worth checking at the level of a specific unit too, not only for the building as a whole.
The ceiling height is 4 metres. For comparison: the typical figure in office buildings in the Medeu district is 3 metres. With four floors and ceilings like that, the building gains a layout freedom that high-rises with their technological constraints do not have: a showroom, a studio, a classroom or light production can be brought in here, not only a cellular office. The practical effect of four metres is the ability to run ventilation, cable routes and suspended lighting beneath the ceiling without dropping the finished height of the space to an unacceptable level.
The range of available space is wide — from 405.7 to 4,964.8 sq m. Small units and almost whole-floor volumes sit side by side in one building, and the configuration of your neighbours will depend on which unit you take. For a large tenant it makes sense to discuss a whole level or half of one straight away: it is easier to control the entrance groups and the access regime that way.
Infrastructure and engineering
On the engineering the owner of the property discloses more than is usually found in market descriptions: a VRF air conditioning system, district heating, supply and exhaust ventilation and backup power supply. Not many buildings state backup power directly, and for a tenant with a server room, medical equipment or a continuous operational process it may prove the decisive parameter. In negotiations, clarify which consumers exactly are connected to the backup line and how this is documented for the unit.
Seismic resistance is stated at 8 points. For Almaty this is a substantial parameter, and it is worth confirming from the design documentation during negotiations — together with the date the building was brought into use and the list of systems the management company services. While you are at it, ask who services the ventilation and how often, and who is responsible for changing the filters: in new buildings the regulations usually exist, but they are rarely shown before a tenant asks about them.
The infrastructure of the complex covers the whole working day: an atrium with a reception area, a café, a supermarket, a medical centre, a beauty salon, a cinema, a pharmacy, a tailor's and shops. For an office tenant this is a convenience but also a source of traffic: visitors to the service part use the same entrance groups, and at a viewing it is worth seeing how the flows of staff and guests are separated and how the entrance works in the evening hours.

Location and transport
The complex is located in the Samal-3 microdistrict — the business part of the Medeu district, in a block along Al-Farabi Avenue. The surroundings are mixed: residential blocks, office buildings and service development, which gives staff a choice of places for lunch and outside meetings next to work, and gives the company a clear address for clients. Work out in advance where staff will park if the corporate spaces are not enough: street parking in the block is limited, and the habit of looking for a space along the houses quickly turns into daily lateness.
The address is the weak point of the data on this property: the building number is not publicly stated, and the location is everywhere given as “the Samal-3 microdistrict”. There is no separate entry with exact coordinates in the city directories, so the route to the entrance and to the car park entrance is worth checking in advance, and guests and couriers should be sent a landmark rather than just an address. For a company with a flow of visitors this is not a trifle: you will have to write the instructions on how to find you yourselves.
It is about 2.37 km to Abay metro station, some 35 minutes on foot. For daily staff journeys this is not a workable option, and the building, like most properties in this part of the city, is designed for car access. If part of the team travels by public transport, check the routes and the journey times at the morning and evening peak before signing a lease.
Parking is 96 spaces, of which 71 are underground and 25 surface, plus a charging station for electric vehicles. The ratio is unusual: there are almost three times more underground spaces than surface ones, whereas in Almaty it is more often the other way round. The density is about one space per 102 sq m of lettable area. Underground storage in winter saves clearing and warming up cars, but it requires clarifying whether spaces are allocated to a unit and how visitor spaces are paid for.
Who it suits and what to check when choosing a unit
The format suits companies that need more than a cellular office: agencies with a presentation area, medical and educational practices, showrooms, studios, service companies with a flow of clients. Four metres of ceiling and the low number of floors make it possible to accommodate non-standard functions — from a meeting room with a mezzanine to an events hall — provided the solution is approved with the management company and fits within the engineering constraints.
The building suits companies of a purely office profile too, but the unit has to be chosen with an eye to the neighbours: a cinema, a medical centre and a supermarket within one perimeter mean constant visitor traffic. At a viewing, look at where your unit faces, where the route of visitors to the service part runs and how audible the common area is from the working space.
What to check on the unit: what is included in the rent and what is counted on top; how the lettable area of the specific space is calculated; what electrical capacity is allocated; the operating regime of the ventilation and air conditioning at weekends and outside working hours; the number and status of the parking spaces. With a VRF system, clarify separately who services the indoor units after the space is handed over and how this is reflected in the payments.
Find out the make-up of the service charges separately. In new mixed-use complexes the common zones are more extensive than in an ordinary office building — the atrium, the galleries, the lift lobbies — and their upkeep is distributed between tenants. The difference between buildings here can be more noticeable than the difference in rent, and it can only be seen in a breakdown.
What to compare before deciding
The pricing policy at the property is built around volume: small areas of up to 500 sq m at 23,000 ₸ per sq m per month, a floor of up to 850 sq m at 19,000 ₸, a unit of up to 1,600 sq m at 18,000 ₸. Market descriptions give a wider range, 16,500–25,000 ₸. All the prices are stated with VAT, and the service charges are not disclosed as a separate line — it is precisely their make-up that is worth establishing before comparing with other buildings.
The logic of a volume discount means that the comparison of buildings depends on the size of your unit: on a small area the difference against the district average will be one thing, on a whole floor quite another. Count not the rent but the final cost of a workplace per month: rent, service charges, utilities, parking and the spread investment in fit-out, divided by the number of staff.
The second parameter is the move-in timing. The building dates from 2024, and some units may be handed over without fit-out. When comparing such an option with a ready office in an older property, count the whole cost of entry: the design, the approval, the works, the furniture and the months when the company is paying for two offices at once.
The third parameter is what people usually come here for: the ceiling height and the layout flexibility. If your scenario does not use them and you need an ordinary cellular office, the comparison is more honest against the classic business centres of the district on the final cost of a workplace, rather than on the impression made by the atrium and the set of services on the ground level.
