The Arctic Epic and Arts Center in Yakutia is nearing completion. Construction is now 85% finished, with the project initially at 83% in July 2025. The facility is a seven-story building spanning 33,000 square metres. Work on the centre began under VIS Group contractors in July 2025. The official completion date is set for September 2025. The total cost of the project has reached 40 billion rubles.

The centre will serve as a permanent home for the G.M. Krivoshapko State Philharmonic and the Olonkho Theater. Seven other republican institutions will also have scheduled performances there. The facility will be open to all cultural organisations in Yakutia.

Meanwhile, the Point of the Future educational complex is being prepared for its opening on 1 September 2026. Like the arts centre, it will be built and maintained entirely with private funding.
