CTD Program Stalls in Chita and Zabaykalsk Regions

The Comprehensive Territorial Development (CTD) program, aimed at simplifying land purchases and housing resettlement, has faced challenges in Chita and Zabaykalsk regions. Businesses, particularly hotels and infrastructure facilities, struggle due to program limitations. The registration process is unclear and lengthy, while property evaluation court cases drag on, inflating prices.

President of the Zabaykalsk Construction Union, Liya Shiller, raised concerns about the CTD mechanism slowing down construction in the region. She proposed developers could independently buy plots from private individuals and coordinate projects with city architecture for faster development.

A lawyer, Victoria Savchenko, highlighted that the resettlement procedure for dilapidated housing remains lengthy and is still regulated by the Russian Housing Code. She suggested developing a regional law similar to the one in the Moscow region to expedite the process. Previously, developers faced lower costs and shorter timelines in land acquisition scenarios. However, the launch of tenders for the first sites may delay the CTD program implementation due to issues with engineering networks and financing difficulties.

The CTD program's challenges in Chita and Zabaykalsk regions have led to concerns from local construction unions and legal professionals. While the program aims to simplify land purchases and housing resettlement, the lengthy registration process, inflated property prices, and potential delays in tender launches hinder its effectiveness. Stakeholders suggest independent plot purchases and regional law developments to expedite the process.
