S1 REIT, an investment company specializing in raising retail investment capital under the REIT model, has released a list of tenants at the property, which is an asset of the “S1 Plaza Poznyaki” fund.
As the company told the Interfax-Ukraine news agency, preliminary letters of intent have already been signed with the Domino’s pizza chain, the restaurant chains “Puzata Khata,” Tbiliso, and “Mama Manana,” the grocery chains Roshen, Lviv Croissants and “Bo Khlib,” the AstraDent dental clinic chain, and the Coffee Lover café.
“S1 Plaza Poznyaki” is not just a new location on the map of Kyiv; it embodies Standard One’s quality standards, combined with the high demand from local residents. “We’re not building from scratch in a vacuum—we’re expanding a business that already has a solid reputation and stable financial performance,” notes Standard One co-owner Oleksandr Ovcharenko.
“S1 Plaza Poznyaki” is part of the “Plaza” network of neighborhood shopping centers, which currently comprises three operating locations: “S1 Plaza VDNH,” “S1 Plaza Svyatoshyn,” and “S1 Plaza Terminal.” All of these properties were built as neighborhood shopping centers in the most heavily trafficked locations directly adjacent to metro stations in Kyiv.
Standard One, the project’s developer, has begun construction on the network’s fourth location—S1 Plaza Poznyaki—on the left bank of the capital. The “S1 Plaza Poznyaki” fund’s assets will include commercial space in the shopping center near the “Poznyaki” metro station in Kyiv. The total area of the property is approximately 5,000 square meters, and the new fund’s issue size is 600 million UAH. The initial investment is 1,000 UAH, and the additional investment is just 100 UAH. The projected annual yield for “S1 Plaza Poznyaki” is 10.4% in currency terms. Dividend payments to investors will be made monthly, starting in June 2026.
According to S1 REIT CEO Igor Gifes, the future shopping center already has an occupancy rate of over 60%—2.5 years before its opening. “For our investors, this means only one thing: the property will be profitable even before the ribbon-cutting ceremony,” says Gifes.
S1 REIT is an investment company that is part of the S1 Group. The company operates under the Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) model, providing investors with the opportunity to participate in the ownership and income generation of income-producing properties without directly managing the assets.
Three funds are available for investment: “S1 VDNH,” S1 Obolon, and “S1 Plaza Poznyaki.” The assets of these funds consist of income-generating real estate based on development projects by Standard One.

According to Fixygen, PJSC “FED” will hold a general meeting of shareholders remotely on July 3, 2026, as reported in the SMIDA disclosure system on June 10.
Details of the agenda are provided in the issuer’s announcement.

The labor shortage in Ukraine has reached a historic high—69% of companies cited it as the main obstacle to doing business during the war, according to the Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting (IER), based on the results of its 49th monthly survey, which the IER conducted among 469 industrial enterprises.
“For several months now, the ‘labor shortage’ obstacle has been breaking records. This obstacle has remained in first place for over a year and a half, reaching a high of 69% in May. Businesses are concerned about the shortage of workers,” said IER Senior Research Fellow Yevhen Angel.
In May, there was a slight decrease in the difficulty of finding qualified workers—the share of enterprises that found it harder to recruit such workers fell from 62.3% to 60.6%. It is more difficult to find unskilled workers—for 38.4% of respondents in May, compared to 34.3% in April.
Only 2.4% of businesses plan to increase employment over the next three months, while 5.1% plan to place employees on mandatory leave.
“Rising prices for raw materials, supplies, and goods” remains the second-biggest obstacle—the figure fell slightly from 56% to 49%.
The share of those concerned about “unsafe working conditions” has decreased slightly: this issue has become an obstacle for 44% of businesses, down from 46% in April, allowing it to hold third place for the fourth consecutive month.
The pattern of “unsafe working conditions” as an obstacle remains consistent across enterprise size. Medium and large enterprises are more likely to cite this problem—48% and 47%, respectively, in May—as they are more likely to be targeted by enemy attacks.
“From a regional perspective, this obstacle is particularly acute in frontline and central regions—over 80% of respondents in the Kyiv, Vinnytsia, Odesa, Zhytomyr, Zaporizhzhia, and Dnipropetrovsk regions cited it. In the west of the country, this obstacle is less relevant. The only exception is Rivne Oblast,” Angel said.
However, there have been noticeable changes regarding two other obstacles. The obstacle “decreased demand for products/services” rose from 26% to 38%. In addition, logistical difficulties have intensified, as evidenced by the increase in the obstacle “difficulties in transporting raw materials or finished goods across Ukraine” from 24% to 30%.
No significant changes were recorded for other obstacles. “Corruption” and “unlawful demands or pressure from law enforcement or regulatory agencies” remain “in the shadow” of the main obstacles—only 7% and 3% of respondents, respectively, mentioned them in May.
“The relevance of the obstacle ‘power outages’ remains at a relatively low level—20% in May—when compared to the winter attacks on our energy infrastructure,” Angel said.
It is noted that 31% of businesses temporarily suspended operations due to power outages in April, but mostly for short periods of time. At the same time, 41% of businesses operated continuously despite the outages. Already, 28% of businesses experienced no power outages, up from 20% the previous month.
Average working time losses amounted to 4% in April. The greatest losses of working time were observed in micro and small enterprises (57%); by industry, in the chemical industry (6%); and by region, in Kyiv (13%) and Sumy (9%) regions.
Assessments of the government’s economic policy remain neutral. “A large share of enterprises provide neutral assessments; specifically, 64% of respondents did so in May. The share of positive assessments remains low at 6%. At the same time, the share of negative assessments stands at 25%, and this gap between positive and negative assessments has persisted since the summer of 2023,” Angel summarized.
Up to 500 Ukrainian industrial enterprises located in 21 of Ukraine’s 27 regions participate in the IED’s New Monthly Enterprises Survey (#NRES). The survey has been conducted monthly since May 2022.
