Tashkent City Administration Addresses ORIGINAL LYUKS SERVIS Development
Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) –
The Tashkent Hokimiyat has issued a statement regarding a residential complex under construction by ORIGINAL LYUKS SERVIS LLC in the Sergeli district, confirming that the city's hokim is personally overseeing the matter.
The city administration indicated that the review was initiated due to complaints from individuals who had entered into agreements to acquire apartments within the complex, situated at 46A Bishkent Street in the Kushkurgan mahalla.
Acting on directives from the Tashkent hokim, an internal assessment was conducted to scrutinize the project's paperwork and execution. This assessment revealed that the 13,051-square-meter land parcel was leased to the developer in 2021. A construction permit was granted in October 2022, the Architectural and Urban Planning Council's working body issued its conclusion on September 22, 2023, and the detailed design documents were registered with the territorial construction supervision authorities on July 29, 2024.
The Hokimiyat emphasized that it is not a party to the agreements between citizens and the developer. Matters pertaining to construction timelines, apartment delivery, refunds, damage compensation, and the fulfillment of other contractual duties are civil law issues and must be resolved according to legal provisions, including through judicial processes.
Nevertheless, the city authorities acknowledged the concerns of citizens who had invested in the housing initiative. Through the Hokimiyat's efforts, a meeting was convened with apartment purchasers, representatives from the construction firm, the prosecutor's office, state construction supervision bodies, and other pertinent agencies.
The assessment determined that the project was approximately 53% complete.
During the meeting, buyers raised inquiries concerning the schedule for construction completion and apartment handover, future project financing sources, the company's loan and collateral commitments, and existing limitations.
Following these discussions, the developer committed to presenting a comprehensive schedule for meeting its obligations in the near future, encompassing construction completion, preparation of necessary documentation, and apartment handover to buyers. This schedule will be publicly displayed at the construction site.
The Hokimiyat stated that the issue would be re-examined at a subsequent meeting involving homebuyers, the developer, the bank, law enforcement agencies, and other relevant authorities. This meeting is expected to feature the project schedule, details on financing sources, and measures to ensure the developer fulfills its commitments to citizens.
The city administration affirmed its continued efforts, within its purview, to foster collaboration among citizens, the developer, the bank, and relevant government entities, and pledged to keep the public informed of future developments.
The Hokimiyat also cautioned that the mere existence of construction permits and project documentation does not inherently guarantee a developer's adherence to its contractual obligations. It advised citizens to thoroughly review contract terms, project timelines, the developer's financial standing, business reputation, and past performance before making property purchase decisions.
