New logistics hub launched in Almaty

The Eurasian Development Bank (EDB) and Eurasian Logistics Park (ELP) have launched one of Kazakhstan’s largest Class A warehouse complexes. Covering more than 50,000 m2, the facility will become a key hub for e-commerce and international trade in Central Asia.

The EDB began financing the project in 2024, providing KZT 16.6 billion to construct the Eurasian Logistics Park. The total project cost amounts to KZT 22.1 billion. This investment represents another step in advancing the Bank’s strategy to build a modern Eurasian agricultural goods distribution system aimed at improving logistics and accelerating trade across the region.

“For the EDB, this project is a systemic contribution to the development of Eurasia’s logistics network. We are creating growth drivers rather than merely warehouses: they reduce costs, speed up delivery and ultimately make goods more affordable for millions of consumers from Almaty to Minsk. The Eurasian Logistics Park is a tangible building block in the foundation of our key mega-project – the Eurasian Agricultural Goods Distribution System,” said Sergey Ignatov, Senior Managing Director and Head of the EDB Project Unit.

The new logistics hub is located at the crossroads of transport routes along the Western China – Western Europe corridor. Its key advantages include proximity to the BAKAD interchange (5 km), the international airport (approximately 20 km) and a 35-minute connection to the centre of Almaty.

“We built the Eurasian Logistics Park in response to Kazakhstan’s rapidly developing market and the rising demand for high-quality warehouse facilities. In recent years, the country’s strong economic potential has been constrained by a shortage of Class A warehouse space required for business expansion. The ELP is helping to bridge this gap – we have launched the country’s largest Class A speculative project, which will serve as a platform for business growth and a key link in Kazakhstan’s logistics infrastructure,” said Roman Zhuzhlev, CEO of Eurasian Logistics Park.

The ELP meets the highest international standards and is equipped with state-of-the-art security systems, including automatic fire suppression and smoke extraction.
