MCA Property Rights Project Begins Refurbishment

Refurbishments have begun for the twelve new land registry offices that the Property Rights Project plans to open in Ulaanbaatar and eight regional centers. These new buildings are part of the Property Rights Project’s goal of improving the process of securing land titles for Mongolians, particularly in ger areas. The company Nazu LLC began refurbishment on GASR buildings #1 and #3 in Ulaanbaatar, and Antech LLC was chosen to refurbish buildings in Chingeltei, Baganuur districts, Tuv and Khentii aimag. The remaining renovation projects were contracted out to regional companies in each aimag, and construction is scheduled to begin soon.

And here is the construction beginning:


The Property Rights Project has been working closely with the ESA, the Environmental and Social Assessment Office, to ensure that the new buildings align with Hazardous Materials and Waste Management guidelines. Each contractor will follow strict guidelines to dispose of hazardous waste properly. Containers have been provided prior to the onset of renovations in each location for proper disposal of hazardous materials. It is hoped that by October 31, 2011, the new offices will be completed and ready to open to the public.
