Business Overview
- The project is currently partially constructed and pre-revenue, offering an opportunity for a buyer to complete the fit-out and commence hotel operations.
- Located in the highly sought-after Turki Jandi district of Bukhara Old City, the property is approximately 300 meters from Bukhara’s main historic tourist center and a 5-minute walk from the Kalon Minaret, Po-i-Kalyan Ensemble, and Lyabi-Hauz.
- Approximately 700 meters from the property, a new Congress Hall and a large heritage-style tourist village are under construction, which are expected to significantly increase year-round tourism, business travel, and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) demand.
- The development comprises a fully built 6,600 sqm shell-and-core structure (three floors plus a full-footprint basement) situated on 3,800 sqm of freehold land within the UNESCO World Heritage Buffer Zone.
- Due to the UNESCO construction moratorium (Decision 45 COM 7B. 174), no new development permits are currently being issued within the area, making this a rare grandfathered development opportunity with secured building rights.
- The existing permit also allows for additional expansion on the remaining approximately 500 sqm cleared plot.
- Uzbekistan's tourism sector continues to experience strong growth, with over 10 million foreign visitor arrivals recorded last year, making it one of the fastest-growing tourism markets in Central Asia.
- Hotels in Bukhara Old City reportedly achieve average daily rates (ADR) of approximately USD 180–250 during peak periods, with occupancy levels exceeding 90%.
- Local hospitality market indicators show continued growth, including year-on-year RevPAR growth of approximately 12.6%.
- Government incentives available to qualifying hotel operators include a 50% reduction in corporate income tax for eligible hotels over the next three years and a 20% VAT cashback on non-cash transactions.
- Based on management projections, the completed hotel is expected to generate approximately USD 2.8 million in annual revenue and USD 1.2 million in EBITDA (43% EBITDA margin) by Year 3 of operations.
- At an estimated 11% capitalization rate, the stabilized asset value is projected at approximately USD 10.9 million.
- The estimated remaining fit-out investment is approximately USD 3.5 million, providing the potential for significant value creation and an estimated developer profit exceeding USD 2.7 million upon stabilization.
Products & Services Overview
- The project is designed to operate as a 60–80 key upper-upscale boutique hotel in Bukhara Old City.
- Primary products and services will include hotel accommodation, spa and wellness facilities, a heated swimming pool, fitness center, rooftop dining, and food and beverage services.
- Target customers include international tourists, leisure travelers, business visitors, tour groups, and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) attendees visiting Bukhara.
- The main revenue streams are expected to come from room bookings, spa and wellness services, gym memberships and visitor access, rooftop restaurants serving both hotel guests and walk-in customers, and courtyard bar and dining operations.
- The property's prime Old City location, close to major tourist attractions and upcoming conference infrastructure, is expected to attract year-round demand from both hospitality and dining customers.
Assets Overview
Tangible assets: 3,800 sqm of freehold land located in the Turki Jandi district of Bukhara Old City, including an approximately 500 sqm cleared plot for future expansion valued at ~ USD 1.2 million; a 6,600 sqm reinforced concrete structure comprising three floors and a full-footprint basement in shell-and-core condition, with ceiling heights ranging from 3–4 meters (2.8 meters in the basement).
Intangible assets: A grandfathered building permit within the UNESCO Buffer Zone construction moratorium area, including rights to expand and modify the development.
An irreplaceable development position within the UNESCO Buffer Zone, where no new permits are being issued; architectural drawings; a feasibility study; and a comprehensive project documentation package.
Facilities Overview
The property comprises a fully built shell-and-core structure located in Bukhara Old City, approximately 300 meters from the main historic tourist center and a 5-minute walk from the Kalon Minaret. It sits on 3,800 sqm of freehold land, including an approximately 500 sqm cleared plot available for additional construction.

The total built-up area is approximately 6,600 sqm across three floors (with certain sections comprising two to three floors, in accordance with Old City height restrictions designed to preserve adjacent historic monuments), along with a full-footprint basement. Ceiling heights range from 3–4 meters on the main floors and approximately 2.8 meters in the basement.

The shell-and-core basement spans nearly the entire building footprint and was purpose-built to accommodate a spa, heated swimming pool, gym, and restaurant facilities. The rooftop features a panoramic terrace with unobstructed views of the Kalon Minaret, making it suitable for two separate restaurants—one serving hotel guests and another with an independent street-level entrance for external visitors.

The property's courtyard layout is inspired by traditional Madrasa architecture. The existing permit allows for further expansion and structural modifications at the buyer’s discretion. The site is located approximately 400 meters from a main road with public transport access.

The property is freehold with a clear title and is not subject to any rental or lease arrangements. The designation change to hotel use is a standard administrative procedure and will be completed upon deal closure.
Capitalization Overview
The asset is privately owned freehold property with a clear title and no debts, liens, or mortgages attached to it. The property is owned by three shareholders. The current building designation is being transitioned to hotel use, which is a straightforward administrative process that the seller commits to completing as part of the transaction upon deal closure. The seller is also open to providing partial vendor financing for qualified buyers.
