Developer Standard One has announced the launch of a new investment and residential project in Kyiv, an apartment building on the left bank of the Dnipro River called S1 Poznyaki, with 756 apartments, according to the company’s press service.
“S1 Poznyaki is our new and largest project to date. We are expanding our network of apartment buildings and entering a new scale in Kyiv,” said Standard One Commercial Director Nadiya Rybakova, whose words are quoted in the press release.
She noted that the project is based on the build-to-rent model, which has been operating for many years in the first building of the network, S1 VDNG. The building is designed with a focus on liquidity. Most of the apartments are compact studios, which are in high demand on the rental market.
The projected profitability of the project is 8-12% per annum in dollars, and the capitalization potential during the 2-3 years of construction is up to 40% in currency.
The S1 Poznyaki complex is located in the Poznyaki microdistrict of the Darnytskyi district of Kyiv. The building has 24 floors: the first two floors will have 7,000 square meters of commercial space, and floors 3 to 24 will have 756 apartments for rent. About 80% of the apartments are one-room apartments, mainly studios with an area of 35 square meters.
The apartments are being built with white box renovations and will be ready for furnishing and rental after the keys are handed over. All operational obligations are assumed by the internal income property management company S1 Property, such as cleaning, repairs, installation of equipment, search for tenants, signing of contracts, monitoring of the condition of the apartments, and administration. Everything works through a single service.
The building will have a generator to provide electricity if necessary and its own roof boiler room to provide water and heat. During a blackout, in particular, the building will remain completely autonomous for two days. Guest parking for 360 cars is provided. The complex is equipped with a shelter and an access control and video surveillance system, as well as physical security.
The nearest metro station, Poznyaki, is a 2-3 minute walk away, and nearby is Lake Sribny Kol with walking areas, a park, a promenade, and sports grounds. Within a few minutes’ radius are schools, kindergartens, supermarkets, cafes, and all the necessary infrastructure for a comfortable life.
The lobby, with an area of about 500 square meters, features a coworking space, lounge areas, and its own cinema space. Several community spaces have been created, and there is a gym, as well as spaces for fitness, Pilates, yoga, and TRX. A laundry room is available for everyday needs.
Commercial premises are allocated for a supermarket, coffee shop, pizzeria, pharmacy, dental clinic, and office space.
Standard One (S1) is a full-cycle development company that has been developing the build-to-rent real estate segment in Kyiv since 2016. Its portfolio includes the completed S1 VDNG project and the new S1 Obolon, S1 Terminal, S1 Nyvky, and S1 Poznyaki buildings.
