The largest number of new housing owners was added in August — nearly 4,200 people. This is 23 percent more than in June, and about 15 percent more than in July. The city provided participants in the relocation with new apartments in the same districts where their old houses were located. Exceptions are the Zelenogradsky, Troitsky, and Novomoskovsky administrative districts. In these districts, relocation is carried out within the district boundaries. Residential complexes are being built near well-developed social and transport infrastructure to ensure newcomers a comfortable urban environment,” said Vladimir Efimov.

These will be opened in newly occupied residential buildings, whose ground floors are initially designed as non-residential.

In the northeast, more than 1.9 thousand people signed contracts for new housing from June to August, in the north and southeast — approximately 1.6 thousand each.
