Ulaanbaatar Construction Rush

 
Apart from office and commercial buildingsthe emphasis in the city lies on apartment buildings for the upper middle and upper class. In particular, the apartment buildings for the upper class are constructed as gated communitieswith fences around the compound, a guard, restricted access and very often video surveillance. Gated communities can consist of both, apartment buildings and single family houses, whereasthe demand for the latter is insignificant. Different construction locations can clearly be identified for the new apartment buildings and gated communities. In the Sukhbaatar district, which traditionally has been the residential areaof the wealthy and upper class, only a few new apartment buildings are being built. For the upper class, the majority of the planned and currently happening construction activity takesplace in the southern part of the city, the Khan- Uul district. It is located between the southern side of the Peace Bridge as one boundary and the Tuul River as the other boundary. During the socialist  period, this area has only marginally been used for residential purposes, due to the nearness of industries and the brown coal power stations, which were responsible for an extreme air pollution. Since the air pollution of the power stations has decreased immensely, leaving the ger areas as the pollution cause no 1, the Khan – Uul district has however become the favourite construction site in Ulaanbaatar – regardless the danger of flooding during heavy rainfalls. Songhinokhairan and Bayangol, in the western part of the city are the districts where the major part of construction for the middle class is taking place.In the future, most construction work will be carried out in the Songhinokhairan district, as it has been selected as the future urban expansion area. In Bayanzurkh district, located in the eastern part of the city, hardly any significant construction for the real estate market is been carried out.
