A 118-apartment ten-storey house built by the Tatarstan State Housing Foundation is located not far from the IT-park. The house is rented to non-resident IT specialists without transferring the ownership to its tenants.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Rustam Minnikhanov noted that the IT-park is a special environment for special people.
