The Sea Breeze construction project in the Bostanlyk district is valued at $10 billion.

The construction of Sea Breeze in the Bostanlyk district of Tashkent region is estimated at 10 billion USD. On December 16, Azerbaijani entrepreneur Emin Agalarov presented the Sea Breeze project to the President of Uzbekistan. The complex, covering an area of 500−700 hectares, will include recreational areas, beaches, sports facilities, hotels, residential complexes, a water park, a bridge over the bay, parks, and facilities for water and winter sports.

The tourist center will be located on both shores of the Charvak Reservoir: the southern part near the village of "Yusufkhona," and the northern part between "Yakkatut" and "Boladala." A bridge over 1 km long will connect the shores. Plans include the creation of a nut grove with villas and an 18-hole golf course.

The layout shows that the reservoir will be divided roughly in half by a giant bridge approximately 1.5 km long, which is twice the length of the Charvak Dam, users on social media report.

“The scale is impressive, and it raises immediate questions:

• What will happen to the roads leading to Charvak, which are already overloaded?

• Where will the waste from the new tourist center be discharged?

• How will garbage be removed from the area?

• Will this mega-construction contaminate our strategic drinking water reserves?

• What will happen to the nut groves between the villages of Boladala and Yakkatut?

• What will happen to the trees on the Yusufkhona peninsula?” — the message states.

Sea Breeze is a premium resort in Azerbaijan, founded by Agalarov in 2006. Emin Agalarov is the son of Russian businessman Araz Agalarov and the former son-in-law of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. On April 30, 2006, he married the president’s eldest daughter Leyla Aliyeva and divorced in 2015.

It is noteworthy that guests of the 29th UN Conference on Climate Change, which took place in November in Baku, were accommodated in Sea Breeze rooms on the Caspian Sea coast. The complex features a seven-kilometer beach, more than 50 bars and restaurants, and 60 swimming pools. Media reported that, according to government procurement data, Agalarov received a contract worth 5.2 million dollars from the government without a tender for accommodating conference visitors.
