Webcam: Construction of "Slovo Ashmarina" Residential Complex in Cheboksary

Construction Site Location

The "Slovo Ashmarina" residential complex is being built in the Kalininsky District of Cheboksary — one of the three administrative districts of the capital of Chuvashia. The construction site is located at the intersection of Ashmarina Street and Ivan Yakovlev Avenue, in the area of Yuzhny Posyolok (Southern Settlement). This is a relatively remote part of the city where high-rise construction is infrequent, so the appearance of a new residential complex here attracts the attention of local residents. The live webcam allows you to monitor the progress of work in real time — from monolithic works to brick wall laying.

History of the Names: Ashmarin and Yakovlev

Ashmarina Street was named in honor of Nikolai Ivanovich Ashmarin (1870–1933) — an outstanding Russian and Soviet linguist, Turkologist, Doctor of Turkology, and Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences. Ashmarin devoted over 30 years to creating the fundamental 17-volume dictionary of the Chuvash language, which remains the most important source for the study of Turkic languages to this day. The scientist was born in the city of Yadrin in Chuvashia, and his early childhood was spent in the village of Kurmysh. Ashmarina Street is located in Yuzhny Posyolok in the Kalininsky District of Cheboksary, as is the residential complex itself.

Ivan Yakovlev Avenue, which runs near the construction site, is named in honor of the great Chuvash educator and creator of the modern Chuvash alphabet, Ivan Yakovlevich Yakovlev. He stood at the origins of Chuvash writing and public education, founding the first Chuvash school and developing an alphabet based on Russian graphics. Thus, the construction area carries a deep cultural and historical context related to the preservation and development of the Chuvash language.

Developer: SMU-58

The construction of the "Slovo Ashmarina" residential complex is carried out by LLC "SZ SMU-58" — one of the leading construction enterprises in Chuvashia, registered on September 18, 2002. The company ranks among the TOP-10 developers in the region and is known for delivering projects without violating the declared commissioning deadlines. The head of the enterprise is Vasanin Oleg Yuryevich, who is also the founder of the company. SMU-58 has repeatedly taken on the responsibility of completing projects that were not put into operation by previous developers, which confirms the reliability and stability of the company in the Cheboksary real estate market.

Construction Technology: Monolithic and Brick

The residential complex is being built using monolithic-brick technology. The load-bearing frame of the building is made of reinforced concrete, which provides high strength and seismic resistance of the structure. The external walls are laid with brick, creating excellent thermal and sound insulation. The tower crane visible on the camera is used for lifting and supplying concrete, reinforcement, and brick to height. The crane's jib is extended as the building grows — this is standard practice in the construction of multi-story buildings. The yellow thermal insulation cladding the frame is external facade insulation, which will subsequently be hidden behind decorative finishing.

Surroundings: Yuzhny Posyolok and Cheboksary Bay

From the height at which the filming is conducted, a view of the surrounding neighborhoods opens up. In the background, roads with markings, green spaces, and private houses with red tiled roofs can be seen. In the distance, a forest massif typical of the suburban areas of Cheboksary is visible. Near the site stands a single-story building with arched windows in a pink-beige color and a decorative facade — one of the few surviving buildings of Yuzhny Posyolok, reminiscent of the Soviet era of development in this area. Yuzhny Posyolok is one of the most remote districts of Cheboksary, where construction is rare, and the surrounding space evokes nostalgia for the Soviet era.

Cheboksary Bay, located in the central part of the city, appeared after the construction of the Cheboksary Hydroelectric Power Station, when part of the historical territory went underwater. Previously, residential districts were located on the site of the bay, and now it is a water and architectural complex that adorns the city's panorama. Although there is a distance from the construction site of the "Slovo Ashmarina" residential complex to the bay, in good weather the water surface will be visible from the upper floors of the building under construction. The bay itself is the result of the flooding of the lower reaches of the Cheboksarka River at its confluence with the Volga, which gave the city a unique appearance.

Transport Accessibility

You can reach the construction site by public transport or personal car. The landmark is the intersection of Ashmarina Street and Ivan Yakovlev Avenue. There is a public transport stop nearby, and convenient access to the construction site opens from Yakovlev Avenue. Ivan Yakovlev Avenue is one of the main thoroughfares of the Kalininsky District, connecting Yuzhny Posyolok with the center of Cheboksary. For those planning to visit the district or monitor the construction progress via the online camera, navigation will be simple: just enter the address Ashmarina Street in the maps and drive to the intersection with the avenue.

What You Can See on the Camera

The camera is installed on an elevated position and covers the entire construction site. In the foreground are the roofs of neighboring buildings, including the characteristic single-story structure with arched windows in a pink-beige color. A white van belonging to the construction crew is usually parked in the adjacent parking lot. In the center of the frame, the tower crane and the frame of the future residential building, clad in yellow thermal insulation, dominate — this is a standard stage of monolithic-brick construction. In the background, transport interchanges, green zones, and multi-story buildings of the Kalininsky District are visible. In clear weather, the horizon is closed by the forest massif surrounding Cheboksary from the southeast. The online camera operates in real time, allowing you to examine in detail every stage of construction — from the erection of the monolithic frame to the laying of brickwork.
