  • Almaty Retail Guide
    ALMATY Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide Cushman & Wakefield | Almaty | 2019 0 Almaty remains the largest city in Kazakhstan, its key business centre and primary retail destination; despite not being the country’s capital city. Almaty has almost 3 times the number of international companies operating within the city than in Nur-Sultan, providing ever-stronger competition against the capital. Almaty has recently been challenged by the economic instability in the region adversely affecting the retail sector. However, the city still benefits from increasing retail turnover, a low unemployment rate, the highest standard of living in Kazakhstan and a growing population. Almaty’s retail sector comprises a mix of traditional ‘bazaar‘-style markets, western-style shopping malls and a small element of on-street retail. Consumers are gradually moving away from shopping at markets and the success of shopping malls indicates a growing consumer demand for this type of retail format. More developers are adopting global retail concepts and trends. The market is witnessing a shift from primarily shopping destinations to one-stop shopping, dining and entertainment experience. Based on the total international-standard retail stock in the city of 423,000 sqm of leasable area and using the estimated population of 2 million people, the volume of retail space per 1,000 capita stands at 210 sqm, that is comparatively less ALMATY mature than developed European markets. Economic uncertainty adversely affected the Almaty retail development pipeline, which as a result is currently comprised of OVERVIEW a few existing projects scheduled for refurbishment and expansion of the existing shopping areas.
