OREANDA-NEWS. February 01, 2010. In two years the high-rise Business Centre of the Union of Manufacturers and Entrepreneurs of Turkmenistan will appear in Ashgabat. Construction of the Centre with the 2.2-hectare area that will spring up along one of the main city highways will be financed by the Union of Manufacturers and Entrepreneurs of Turkmenistan and carried out by the domestic private companies.

The implementation of this large-scale project became possible through the state support as well as the measures aimed at encouraging business initiatives as an integral aspect of the strategy for Turkmenistan’s social and economic development. Intensification of the activity in the private sector of the national economy, enhancement of its investment potential and efficiency in construction industry as well testify to the success of this strategy initiated by President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov. The list of the projects completed by the domestic construction companies, which have proved their competence, includes sports facilities, shopping centres, apartment buildings. Henceforth, the business centre, which will become a symbol of the rise of entrepreneurial activity in the country in the epoch of new Revival and fundamental reforms, will replenish this list.


The architectural design of the high-rise administrative building and four-storey buildings symmetrically adjoining it will blend well with the ensemble of buildings constructed in this part of the city. The draft design of the business complex with the usable area of about 30,000 square metres harmoniously combines the achievements and trends in modern architecture and the national decorative traditions.

The main building will house the administrative offices of the Union of Manufacturers and Entrepreneurs of Turkmenistan, the banking institutions and offices of the companies – the members of the Union of Manufacturers and Entrepreneurs. The business school, public service establishments and supermarkets, which will sell domestically produced goods, will occupy the adjacent buildings.

According to architects and designers, the Business Centre will have colour illumination. The green area will encircle the building. Thus, the new business complex will become the heart of the business life of domestic entrepreneurs and an architectural landmark of modern Ashgabat.
