People had been waiting in line since the night before.
An impressive crowd gathered outside the Zavodsky District Housing and Utilities Administration building on Partizansky Avenue in Minsk—dozens of people lined up to submit applications to purchase apartments in a new residential complex currently under construction near Makayenka Street, near the “Moskovskaya” metro station. This was reported by Mlyn.by.
Those on the housing waiting list can apply for an apartment in the new building—even without a referral from the local executive committee. The building is being constructed using monolithic technology, and the developer has put 33 one-bedroom apartments, 31 two-bedroom apartments, and 16 three-bedroom apartments up for sale. The one-bedroom apartments range from 42 to 44 “squares,” the two-bedroom apartments from 58 to 62, and the three-bedroom apartments are about 77 square meters.
The price per square meter is set at 3,800 rubles (approximately $1,252). However, in addition to the apartment itself, buyers are required to purchase a parking space, which is not cheap—it costs 85,000 rubles.
Renowned real estate expert Natalya Litovskaya commented on this figure on her Telegram channel. She speculates that this is how developers compensate for restrictions on profit margins: The law allows developers in shared-construction projects to include only the cost of construction plus a 5% profit margin in the price of housing, whereas there are no such restrictions on the cost of parking spaces—hence the inflated prices.
Despite the high cost of parking spaces, demand for apartments in the new neighborhood remains high.
People began lining up overnight
Photos from the scene are already being posted on social media. According to eyewitnesses, the first people in line arrived the night before. Natalia Litovskaya said that when she arrived, she was 220th on the list, and she was no longer allowed to sign up in the new notebook—the organizers asked her to wait for the next registration round.
The expert clarified that such lines with homemade sign-up books form spontaneously—people organize them themselves, and developers have nothing to do with this process. The next day, as expected, the line grew even longer.
The main reason cited for this rush is the location of the future building—within walking distance of a metro station.
