Construction of 116 out of 124 multi-apartment buildings, part of a Republican resettlement program for residents from run-down housing, have been completed, as announced by First Deputy Prime Minister of Yakutia, Dmitry Sadovnikov. The remaining 9 projects will be finished soon. Unfortunately, there are 7 unfulfilled projects that started construction 3 years ago, despite builders' commitments.

Nine residential properties to reach completion by year's end.

That Republican resettlement program has been a rollercoaster ride, huh? Instead of the dreamy new homes we've been hoping for, it seems we've got ourselves a tangled web of construction chaos. Out of the 124 multi-apartment buildings erupting from this program, 116 have finally seen the light of day. The remaining nine are almost ready to join the party. However, there's a catch - seven buildings started their journey three years ago, but the builders have flat-out refused to fulfill their obligations.

For example, take the half-finished monstrosity on Kuzyakov Street in Nürba. It's a whopping 80% done, but construction grinds to a halt because the builder's actions have left us high and dry. The clever Yakutian authorities are now on the hunt for some quick-witted subcontractors to slap a finish coat on this baby and finally commission it.

And it's not just Nürba struggling to finish things off. In Borogoncy, one house is about to break the 99% completion barrier, while the second one's not even close, stuck at a meager 56%. Similarly, in Batagay-Alyta, the building's almost there, but they've got some financial issues plaguing the builder's obligations that need sorting out first.

Over in Chuiya, the residential building's just waiting for its big day, but the construction company owes some dough to get connected to the heating network. Meanwhile, three houses in Chulman are stuck in the middle, with 65-90% of their construction underway. The builders have got until May to clean up their act and get these homes commissioned.

At the end of the day, around 49,000 Yakutians have officially moved into new digs, and over 911,000 square meters of old, crumbling housing have been junked over the past six years. A total of 321 multi-apartment buildings have sprung up under this program, but things might want to pick up the pace if we want to see actual progress.

Now, there are a bunch of reasons why these buildings refuse to see the finish line. Construction delays due to extreme weather and logistics challenges, structural safety concerns resulting from shoddy materials and construction techniques that wouldn't pass muster in a kindergarten, bureaucratic shenanigans, and financing issues plague these projects, not unlike factory fires and coal plant fiascos we've seen pop up in the region. But let's not jump to conclusions – the real story lies in the official releases and local news focusing on the Yakutian housing developments. Keep your eyes peeled, folks, because we need all the transparency we can get!

In the midst of these housing developments, several projects face financial hurdles, hindering the completion of real-estate investments and causing delays in business operations. For instance, the stalled construction in Chulman is a result of finance-related issues plaguing the builders, emphasizing the importance of smooth financial management in investing and business.
