Amid growing new supply the share of vacant space on the office real estate market in Kyi grew by 4.2 percentage points (pp) in 2019 compared with 2018, to 8.5%, CBRE Ukraine consulting company (Kyiv) has said in a press release. “The highest vacancy rate was recorded in areas with a non-center location (19.2%), due to the Sigma and Wave Tower business centers went live in 2019, which remained unfilled by the end of the year. The Pechersky district had the lowest vacancy rate (2.7%), where in 2019 new areas were not presented to the market,” the report says.
According to the experts, the rental rate for the best office premises increased 8% and by the end of the year amounted to $27 per sq. m. a month, which is associated with a limited supply of quality space.
“In the available class A office space, the declared rental rates varied in the range of $26- $45 per sq. m a month in the fourth quarter, and class B rental rates ranged $14- $30 per sq. m. a month. The significant gap between the lower and upper limits of the range is due to the characteristics of the rental space and the location of an office center, which are the main factors determining the high level of rental rates,” CBRE Ukraine said.

Ukraine should be integrated in the European Union and NATO, but it should have deeply developed relations with those regions of the world where it sees its national interests, Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Dmytro Kuleba said.
“I am deeply convinced that it would be a big mistake for Ukraine to limit itself solely to its western vector. The world is much bigger, much more complex, there are a lot of opportunities in the world,” Kuleba said on Ukrainian television.
At the same time, the deputy prime minister said he sees Ukraine as a member of the European Union and NATO.
“I see Ukraine as a state, integrated European and Euro-Atlantic state, which has deep developed relations with those regions of the world where it sees its national interests,” Kuleba said.
Kuleba said he sees Asia as such region as “the heart” of the world’s economy is now beating there.
“It’s China, India, Japan, South Korea, Singapore – that’s where the economic heart of the world is beating now,” Kuleba said.
