Tashkent: hundreds of Rohat residential complex buyers risk losing homes over developer's debts

Hundreds of buyers of the Rohat residential complex in Tashkent's Yashnobod district risk losing their homes because of a $5.5 million loan debt owed by the developer, Broccoli Plus, to a bank. A court has ordered the complex's residential units to be put up for auction.

The developer reportedly took a construction loan from Microkreditbank by pledging apartments for which people had been paying. After the company stopped making payments, the bank went to court, which ruled that the debt be recovered from the pledged property. Tashkent's city prosecutor's office has also taken up the case, with acting prosecutor Anvar Urmanov overseeing the situation.

In March 2026, a criminal case was opened against those responsible for the construction, and the head of the construction company and the head of its sales department were detained on suspicion of large-scale fraud. Preliminary data puts the number of victims above 200 and the damage above 50 billion soums, but buyers say more than 500 people have been affected. The prosecutor's office said instructions had been issued to ensure citizens' housing and property rights.
