Hearings on the 28-story “Khabarovsk-City” hotel announced by the city administration (diagram; photo)

The new hotel will be located in the Yungov district, 1a. This area was recently cleared for construction. It has now been revealed that a 28-story high-rise building with 1,068 rooms will be erected here, with an average room area of 24 square meters. In the developer’s presentation, these are referred to as studio apartments.

Previously, the “Khabarovsk-City” hotel was shown in different locations on the plans, near the boat station, with a height of 111 meters. Now it has been moved right next to the only residential building in this corner of the backwater (a ten-story building at Yungov, 12). The building’s height has become more modest – only 87 meters. This is likely because buildings over one hundred meters in height are subject to stricter regulations in the country, and the developer did not want to deal with that.

The hotel will be equipped with parking spaces – 116 are planned in total. Most will be located on the stylobate, with several dozen more in the underground level. Before construction begins, the site will be secured against floods.

– Construction of capital facilities on this territory is possible only after flood protection measures have been implemented, – as stated in the hotel documentation.

But first, the developer “SZ Amursky”, which is part of the “Etalon” Group, must obtain permission from the mayor’s office to build the high-rise. Public hearings on this matter started today, with proposals being accepted until October 9. The meeting where residents can express their opinions and ask questions will take place on October 2, which is the day after tomorrow. This is very early: typically, there is a week between the start of hearings and the meeting to allow people time to study the materials and prepare.

Another interesting point: previously, another developer, “SZ SK+ Invest”, had plans for this site at Yungov. Last year, that developer applied for hearings and presented a concept for a building with variable height, from 6 to 12 above-ground floors, and an underground parking lot. However, the mayor’s office ultimately did not grant construction permission, citing that the site was allocated for comprehensive territorial development, as well as the high load on social institutions in this area.

The outcome in this case will become known on October 24, when the hearings conclude. But since a hotel doesn’t require social institutions, this argument is unlikely to be valid now.

New details have emerged about the development sequence, what exactly the developer will build, at whose expense, and which buildings will be the tallest according to the plan. The investor has also shown what the business center will look like after all work is completed.
