Biography in Rakhat: an independent profile of the low-rise complex

Where Biography is located

The complex stands in Rakhat microdistrict at 1/2 Kultobe St, above the western end of Al-Farabi Avenue, in Nauryzbay district. The developer gives about 7 minutes to the First President's Park and Miras school and 5 minutes to the Zhailjau golf club.

This is the quiet western foothills. The flip side is a longer drive to the center and the Esentai business corridor than from Medeu district.

What the complex offers

According to Krisha.kz, these are three-story monolithic buildings with 92 apartments, 3.45 m ceilings, central heating, and underground and surface parking. Apartments are handed over in shell condition; the developer mentions open-plan layouts and floor-to-ceiling windows.

The architecture is neoclassical, with English-style lobbies, stroller rooms and a waiting area. The courtyard is advertised with its own tennis court, a fruit orchard, barbecue and fire-pit areas, a children's playhub, a football pitch and an open-air cinema. The courtyard is car-free, with 24-hour video surveillance.

Status, phases and prices

Krisha.kz marks the complex as completed with a Q4 2025 date. The developer's website, meanwhile, shows several phases with the next handover in Q4 2026. So some buildings are already commissioned and some are still under construction: check the status of the specific phase.

Krisha.kz gives a price from 1.5 million ₸ per m². Listings show apartments from roughly 58 to 165 m². For comparison, the average business-class new build in Almaty in September 2026 was 1.02 million ₸ per m² (Homsters), so Biography sells well above its class average.

What I check before buying in Biography

The main issue here is legal. The developer itself states that the low-rise complex does not fall under the shared-construction law. That means the usual buyer protection with a guarantee from the Single Operator, Kazakhstan Housing Company (KZhK), may not apply to phases under construction, and the payment structure needs to be reviewed with a lawyer before you transfer money.

• Which phase: completed or under construction, and whether there is a commissioning certificate.
• What contract you sign and what happens to your money if completion is delayed.
• Fees for maintaining the court, orchard and common areas.
• The rush-hour drive to work and school.
• Drainage and retaining structures on the slope.
• What the shell finish includes and the renovation budget given 3.45 m ceilings.

Who Biography suits

The complex is designed for families who want a low-rise building with a big courtyard and sport nearby, and who are fine with commuting from the western foothills. As a rental it targets a narrow segment of family tenants, so don't expect a high yield.
