Largest volumes of new housing concentrated around Kyiv and in western Ukraine

15 September , 2026  

The Kyiv region became the largest among the regional markets for new residential construction listed by the State Statistics Service in January–June 2026, with a figure of 599,300 square meters, while 437,900 square meters were reported in Kyiv, according to Experts.news.

In the Kyiv region, approximately 9,100 apartments were registered at the start of construction. On an annual basis, the area of new construction remained virtually unchanged, decreasing by only 0.3%.

In Kyiv, the area of registered new housing decreased by 10.7%—to 437,900 square meters.

At the same time, the statistics on the number of apartments in the capital appear unusual: the State Statistics Service reports approximately 1,400 registered apartments despite a significant total area. This may be related to the structure of specific projects and the characteristics of the published data.

The Lviv region became the third-largest market, where 501,500 square meters of housing and approximately 7,200 apartments were announced in the first half of the year.

In the Ivano-Frankivsk region, the area of new construction totaled 248,400 square meters, down 20.5% year-over-year. At the same time, approximately 5,800 apartments were registered.

In the Odesa region, the figure reached 328.7 thousand square meters and approximately 1,100 apartments; however, the State Statistics Service has not disclosed comparable figures for the previous year.

Thus, in terms of the volume of announced new construction, the largest markets continue to be concentrated around Kyiv and the western regions of the country.
