While no specific construction plan for Almaty city from 2026 to 2028 was available, recent developments in Kazakhstan and neighboring regions indicate regional economic growth. For instance, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Azerbaijan have signed agreements for new transport projects and are developing a 2026–2028 economic roadmap. Moreover, Kazakhstan is witnessing significant investments in education, healthcare, and social infrastructure, including the opening of new educational facilities and health centers across the country.
Investors in the Almaty housing-market and real-estate sector should anticipate a surge in construction activities in 2026, as the city plans to build 404 objects, many of which are residential and credit housing objects. The economic growth in Kazakhstan, as indicated by regional agreements and increased investments in education, healthcare, and social infrastructure, may further encourage investing in these sectors.
