The Auction Lasted Ten Minutes

On November 12, an auction was held on the E-auksion platform for an administrative building in the Yakkasaray district of Tashkent, near the Southern Railway Station. The auction took just over ten minutes: the only bid was made by the company Phylax, which offered 82.66 billion sums — 1% more than the starting price of 81.84 billion sums. Payment for the lot is now expected.

What Is Known About the Building and the Buyer

The State Assets Management Agency put the four-story building up for auction in October. According to photos and open data, it houses the Yakkasaray District tax inspection. The premises cover 4,339 square meters, and the adjacent territory is 0.31 hectares. The building has water supply, sewage, and electricity, but no gas. The sale was carried out under the president's August decree on accelerating privatization.

What Changes for the Tax Office

After the sale, the tax inspection will continue to use the building for 12 months, after which it will be handed over to the buyer. According to data from the Unified State Register of Enterprises and Organizations, the company Phylax was established in October of this year and operates in the leasing and management of non-residential premises; its sole founder, with a charter fund of 10 million sums, is Azizbek Hakimov. Thus, the buyer is a recently created company, and the actual change of the building's user has been postponed by a year.
