The three-story building in the Stalinist Empire style is located at 7 Karatkevich Street, near the "Minsk World" complex. It has the status of a historical and cultural value, and its total area is 1283.8 square meters.
The object has been put up for an electronic auction, which will take place on November 30. Applications for participation are accepted until November 26 inclusive. The new owner will have to reconstruct the building, which is currently not in the best condition.
The initial price of the lot is 4.63 million rubles, or about 1.54 million dollars.
Minsk-1 Airport was built in 1933. Until the opening of Minsk-2 Airport in 1982, which is now called Minsk National Airport, it remained the capital's main air gateway.
The old air terminal operated until December 23, 2015. The main airport buildings were demolished in 2019, and residential buildings, which became part of the "Minsk World" complex, were later built in their place.
