Abdrakhmanov Damir Yerzhanovich biography

Damir Abdrakhmanov: “Construction is a continuous risk” February 7, business 0 Construction of housing, developer of the residential complex “New Life” microdistrict “New Life” looks like a bright spot on the gray hoodie of Ulyanovsk. Multi -colored houses, unusual playgrounds made of ropes and logs; Places for relaxing with creative lanterns, glass entrances ... The owner of the builder Damir Abdrakhmanov is sure that people quickly get used to good, and therefore the creators of the New Life are not afraid of vandalism and demonstrate a completely different approach to economy class housing.

Abdrakhmanov said in an interview with 73online. As an individual entrepreneur registered in the year in Ulyanovsk. It specializes in the purchase and sale of real estate, among additional activities - construction of buildings, rent and retail trade. The New Life Group of Companies began to work in the residential and commercial real estate market in the Ulyanovsk region since the year.

Every year, she builds and sells more than 60 square meters of housing, commercial space and infrastructure facilities. Among them are shopping and industrial centers, kindergartens, clinic. The company owns its own production facilities, including a concrete plant.

The largest project is the New Life microdistrict, where more than square meters of residential real estate with its own infrastructure, commercial premises, kindergartens were commissioned. In the residential complex, 11 houses were commissioned, 3 - under construction, the planned deadline for delivery - I and III quarters of the year, 23 - in the project. Up to a year, it is planned to build about 1 million square meters of housing.

Near the microdistrict, an indoor football arena and the Ice Palace named after Vladislav Tretyak will be erected. The area that we plan to master is 35 hectares. Let's get closer to Sviyag. The plans are to make an embankment 1 kilometer. Just think: the huge Zasviyazhsky district on the banks of the Big River does not have a single well -maintained place where people could take a walk.

This is wrong. I want the embankment to be, especially in the "new life" - this will be one of the largest microdistricts in the city. So say those who do not live with us. There are portals where you can see what they write about our LCD. We ourselves, with all the desire, simply could not write thousands of good reviews on them. Not for all developers, he went painlessly.

This is correct and timely, the only way to make the houses be completed, to get away from the risk even by chance deceiving people. By the way, even before the introduction of escrow accounts, we never allowed the money from equity holders to other projects, and did not build “pyramids”. Therefore, for us, the transition did not respond with any pain: we raised funds to one account, spent only on the object on which they were collected.

The developers have another sore subject - interaction with banks, which now loan far from everyone. But since we have never even rented a house on time - always only with ahead of course, there are no problems here. We are credited. Two years ago, we prepared a project in the park, I am sure that the authorities will do something on it. When we bought this site, no one needed it: this is a platform covered with land from cleaning Sviyaga.

There was no dangerous waste there, of course, before we start building, we went through a lot of different instances, and now we are constantly being checked. It was believed that this place on the outskirts, no one needed. And I liked it: there were 10 hectares, I wanted to implement a large project. Smopping in it conditions that would be optimal for people both in price and in comfort.

You can build the most comfortable housing for crazy money. And try so that it is also affordable. It is very difficult. This is a huge daily work of the team for eight years. We constantly change everything - project, plans; We analyze, improve, travel around the world, work with architects and designers, consultants, participate in conferences ... We have a very big awkwardness - we study the best projects.

And we speak with the Ulyanovites themselves - we find out what they need, listen to their opinion. By the way, half of the company’s employees bought an apartment in a “new life” from us and they live here. Building, as well as in any business, be it, for example, music or sewing shoes, you need to study, devote a lot of time to it, love. Both I and my team love my business.

When you do something with feeling, it will definitely work out. And the construction was always, this is the oldest profession. This is a matter of continuous risk. And always the most important risk is demand. Something will happen and he will fall. If it falls two times, we will get a decrease in revenue. And we owe the bank money ...-Did the demand have changed due to pandemic?

Demand from the first year of sales is stable. I would not say that the apartments are scattered like hot pies. But he is sufficient to develop the project. I think the reason is that we are doing everything regularly, we build in time, there are more and more people in the microdistrict, word of mouth works. Most importantly, there is no deception.The situation with other companies frightened people, and they trust builders who do not have such problems.

Today, 10 thousand people live in our microdistrict. These are people of the most productive age - 35 years; As a rule, families with two children. This is the basis of our city. They have society, guests come to them. They come to our playgrounds from all over Ulyanovsk. So even without advertising - people see whether or bad here or bad. And, judging by the fact that there are more of them, they value our work.

You have children, they grow, travel with parents - everything changes, the world does not stand still. Plus, the state is connected - we are grateful to the government for a preferential mortgage that supported us very much. If it were not, it would be more difficult for us. But in Ulyanovsk there is no frantic demand for housing. Unlike Moscow, where we also work. There, of course, there are more money and more people.

One is in the premium segment, in the historical center, on Shabolovka. This is an 8-story building for 90 apartments, with parking. A house where there are quite expensive apartments, their cost is thousands of rubles per meter. In Moscow there is economy, business, premium, luxury, while the price difference can be 20 times, from thousand to 3 million rubles per square meter. We have no such difference, because there is no such stratification into the rich and the poor.

Metro Shabolovka, Old District, Zamoskvorechye, very quiet, green, calm - for Moscow this is very rare. The second is the materials: luxurious facades from Jurassic marble, which we ordered in Germany, the windows “half-drill”, aluminum double-glazed windows and so on. Import brands - such a set gives premium. We feel her daily. A lot of people who want to do the same business.

In Moscow, it is much stronger. Different companies - Moscow, St. Petersburg, regional - are fighting for a place, good projects, people, money, sales. This is not easy. All developers who work with us, I know personally, the guys remained quite modern and smart. The reason is that the buyer has become younger, the requirements, compared to the fact that they were 15 years ago, have changed.

For example, no one built apartments with decoration before us. And people want them to call immediately and there were no problems with the repair. So this is now one of the desired requirements. What do you keep a low price? Wholesale sales? We do not do this: we had offers to redeem floors, but we refused such customers. We are a retail company, strive to form a community inside the region.

We do not care who lives with us, because it doesn’t care how the “new life” will develop further. We will build a microdistrict for the next years, and therefore we want to influence these processes, and we do it every day, we want it to be comfortable always. And for this, in particular, you need to monitor who lives with us. But in any case, we try not to sell apartments to speculators.

This is when you optimize all the processes, work a lot, look at the little things. Any ruble consists of cents. Any huge price consists of little things.
