The decree provides for the construction of single-family, terraced houses for large families on the waiting list in the neighborhoods of Sokol, Chizhovka, and a residential area near the village of Zatsen in 2020-2021. The document also provides for the sale of residential premises in the apartment buildings commissioned by the state production association Minskstroy, the sale of 300 apartments from among the properties transferred by developers into Minsk's municipal ownership in lieu of the average demolition rate, or built by the Minsk city authorities to resettle citizens from dilapidated houses.
The document allows for state support for the construction of residential premises in apartment buildings built to individual projects (improved consumer qualities).
