City Romance Complex is based in the romantic idea associated with foreign cultures – specifically countries or regions – and is the manifestation of its particularity in the urban space.

The City Romance project was conceived from an innovative and ambitious concept. To bring to the center of Astana, in an environment of excellence, remote cultures reflected in the architecture, design of gardens and outdoor spaces, constituting a diverse and surprising complex, a landmark in the city of Astana and a reference in the quality of life that will be provided to its residents and visitors.

City Romance has an extremely central location within the city of Astana and taking advantage of excellent accessibilities, the intervention area of the “City Romance” can be considered a unique location for the implementation of the concept. The diversity of architectural environments and approaches is associated with different geographical and cultural areas, unified by a solid and well-organized urban structure, based on a hierarchical and efficient road network.
