Ukrainian developer Standard One, together with investment company S1 REIT, has launched a program for purchasing apartments in the S1 Pozniaky income-generating residential building in Kyiv through the gradual accumulation of investment certificates. The program provides an opportunity to reserve a property once the value of the certificates reaches 20% of the price of the selected apartment, the companies said in a press release published by the Interfax-Ukraine news agency on November 14.
According to the companies, program participants can invest in the S1 Pozniaky fund without mandatory monthly payments or a fixed contribution schedule. The minimum initial investment is UAH 1,000, while subsequent contributions can start from UAH 100.
When the value of accumulated certificates reaches 20% of the price of the selected apartment, the investor becomes eligible to apply for its reservation. After the reservation is confirmed, the price per square meter is fixed in US dollars.
According to Standard One representatives, this mechanism allows potential buyers to gradually accumulate funds for real estate without assuming obligations to make regular payments.
“Buyers often already know which apartment they need, but they are not yet ready for a large initial payment or regular payments. Together with S1 REIT, we have proposed another approach: start with an affordable amount, accumulate funds at your own pace, and when there are enough certificates to make a reservation, choose a specific apartment and lock in its price,” said Standard One Commercial Director Nadiia Rybakova.
According to her, if the buyer’s plans change, they can remain an investor in the fund and be eligible for investment income in accordance with the terms of its operation.
Legally, the program involves two separate transactions: the investor’s sale of the fund’s certificates under specified conditions and the subsequent purchase of an apartment under an agreement with the developer. If the proceeds from selling the certificates are insufficient to pay for the property in full, the buyer can cover the difference with their own funds.
Standard One notes that fixing the price per square meter after reservation allows the investor to plan the subsequent purchase of the apartment regardless of any potential increase in its market price.
The program applies to selected apartments in the S1 Pozniaky income-generating residential building, which Standard One is developing near Lake Sribnyi Kil, a two-minute walk from the Pozniaky metro station in Kyiv.
The complex’s concept combines residential apartments, coworking facilities, recreational spaces, and everyday services. The apartment price includes white-box finishing, furniture, and household appliances.
After purchasing the apartment, the owner will be able to use it for personal purposes or rent it out.
The building is scheduled to be commissioned in 2028.
A separate component of the program is the possibility of earning investment income during the accumulation period.
According to S1 REIT, the fund’s financial model during the construction phase provides for an increase in asset values and a corresponding increase in the value of investment certificates. The projected return is 9% per annum in US dollar equivalent.
At the same time, the company emphasizes that this return is projected and is not guaranteed. The actual financial result will depend on the value of the fund’s assets, market conditions, and other investment risks.
The program provides several options for the investor’s subsequent actions. In addition to purchasing an apartment, a participant can remain in the fund and, after rental operations begin, receive dividends if the relevant conditions for their payment are met.
Another option is to sell the certificates after the building is commissioned, in accordance with the fund’s rules. In this case, the financial result will depend on changes in their value and the conditions for exiting the investment.
Detailed participation conditions, the reservation procedure, and the mechanism for selling certificates are available on the official S1 Pozniaky fund page.
