The Governor of the Murmansk region, Andrey Chibis, held a working meeting with the General Director of DOM.Russian Federation Vitaly Mutko. The main topics were the development of housing construction, increasing housing affordability and upgrading the region's infrastructure.
"Housing issues are among the key issues for the development of the Murmansk Region. We see a high demand for housing and are consistently increasing the volume of construction, while developing tools that make it more affordable for residents," said the head of the region.
Today, 20 apartment buildings are being built in the region at the same time, which is almost 4,000 apartments, about 80% of which will be available for free sale. The current figures are the highest in recent decades and reflect the systemic growth of construction activity in the region.
Special attention was paid at the meeting to the development of the affordable rental housing program in the Arctic zone. 81 apartments have already been purchased for preferential rent — this mechanism allows us to quickly provide housing for in-demand specialists and increase the mobility of labor resources.
The renovation of elevator equipment in the housing stock was also discussed. The Governor stressed that elevator modernization is, first of all, a matter of safety and quality of people's daily lives, requiring a systematic and integrated approach.
Among the promising areas is the development of wooden housing construction using modern technologies, which reduces construction time and expands opportunities for the development of housing stock in northern conditions.
Recall that 2025 was a record year for housing commissioning — the plan in the Murmansk region was fulfilled by 181%. The work is carried out within the framework of national projects, the governor's plan "To live in the North!" and the renovation program of the Central Park.
