Astana's New-Build Market in Numbers
According to the Bureau of National Statistics, Kazakhstan completed a record 20.1 million m² of housing in 2025, including 13.5 million m² in apartment buildings; Astana led with 4.81 million m². New-build supply in the capital remains large, so the main risk for buyers is not scarcity but choosing a project with clear timelines and protected money.

For example, Nexpo Classic Style is being built at the intersection of Kabanbay Batyr Avenue and T. Ryskulov Street, opposite MEGA Silk Way mall.
New Projects in Autumn 2026
In August 2026 six new Astana residential complexes were added to the Homsters catalog: IGILIK, Nexpo Grand, HORIZON, Zhas Otau, ULAGAT and Anyz Avenue. The most popular layouts among buyers were one-room apartments of 36 and 41 m² and two-room units of 52–54 m².
New-build prices depend heavily on class: in August an economy-class square meter averaged KZT 356,800 (+9.52% month on month), comfort KZT 512,291, business KZT 720,452 and premium KZT 1,060,789. District comparison: "The Cheapest Apartments in Astana".
How Buyers' Money Is Legally Protected
The Law "On Shared Participation in Housing Construction" allows a developer to raise money from buyers of housing under construction in only one of three ways:
- A guarantee from the single housing construction operator (Kazakhstan Housing Company), which guarantees completion.
- Participation of a commercial bank that finances and supervises construction.
- Raising money after the building's frame is complete.
If a developer takes money under a "reservation agreement", a "preliminary agreement" or through a "housing cooperative" without a permit to raise buyers' funds, that is a serious risk. Check the local authority's permit and the protection method before paying.
Checklist: How to Check a Complex Before Buying
- The permit to raise buyers' funds and the protection method (guarantee, bank or frame).
- The developer's track record: how many complexes are completed and under construction — see the Krisha.kz developer registry and our construction companies ranking.
- The actual construction stage — photo reports, a site visit, comparison with the schedule.
- The shared-participation agreement: completion date, liability for delay, apartment and finishing specifications.
- Land and property documents — via egov.kz; full list in our legal due diligence guide.
- Financing: "7-20-25" covers only completed new builds, while Umai also covers guaranteed housing under construction (program comparison).
How 16% VAT Will Affect New-Build Prices
Under the new Tax Code, sales of housing in buildings whose construction started or which were accepted into operation before January 1, 2026 are VAT-exempt. For projects started later, housing sales are subject to 16% VAT, while resale deals between individuals are not.
The tax burden will therefore show up gradually — as new projects started from 2026 go on sale. How this may affect prices is covered in our 2027 outlook.

According to the developer, in Q3 2026 — GreenLine.Verda, GreenLine.Aurora, Nexpo Classic Style and Turan Tower; in Q4 — Auez Park, Capital Park Art and MOD Ultra. The dates are planned and may change.
How does the law protect buyers' money in new builds?
In three ways: a guarantee from the single housing construction operator (Kazakhstan Housing Company), participation of a commercial bank in the project, and raising money only after the building's frame is complete.
How much housing was built in Astana in 2025?
According to the Bureau of National Statistics, 4,812.5 thousand m² — more than any other region. Kazakhstan as a whole completed 20.1 million m² of housing.
Will new builds get more expensive because of VAT?
16% VAT applies to housing sales in projects started after January 1, 2026; buildings started or accepted before that date are exempt. Price pressure will therefore build gradually as new projects come to market.
