The Greenville group of companies commissioned 15,400 square meters of housing in Lviv in 2025 and continues to implement two projects in the capital, its press service told the Interfax-Ukraine news agency.
“In 2025, we have virtually completed the Greenville Park Lviv residential complex in Lviv. A total of 15,435.6 square meters (276 apartments) were built during the year. In November 2025, the final building of the complex was commissioned, so now all residential buildings of Greenville Park Lviv have been fully completed. Final work is currently underway on the construction of a parking lot, which is the final stage of the project,” said Yulia Bilen, head of the Greenville sales department in Lviv.
According to her, the aspect of inclusiveness was incorporated into the Greenville Park Lviv project even before the full-scale war, in particular, barrier-free entrances, convenient layouts, and accessible common areas were provided for. However, important changes were made during construction.
“Yes, with the first blackouts, we quickly adjusted the technical solutions. In particular, we provided a backup power supply in the tallest 20-story building. The building was equipped with a generator that guarantees the operation of elevators and common areas during power outages,” Bilen explains.
As for the company’s projects in the capital, multi-level underground parking lots are being built in the stylobate part of the Greenville Park and Greenville business-class residential complexes in Pechersk, as well as shelters and generators. Measures for inclusivity are provided for in the DBN “Inclusivity of Buildings and Structures”: ramps, signs with Braille inscriptions, voice guidance in elevators, etc. There is also a system that brings the elevator car to the nearest floor, which prevents it from getting stuck during emergency power outages.
“We try to adhere to the ‘8/80’ principle: when the territory of a residential complex is equally comfortable for an 8-year-old child and an 80-year-old pensioner. Such an environment includes wide pedestrian areas, ramps, elevators with wide entrances, navigation, voice guidance, lighting, etc.,” explained Natalia Dubik, head of Greenville’s Kyiv projects.
Greenville is a vertically integrated group of companies that has been operating in the field of renewable energy and residential and commercial real estate for over 20 years. According to the LUN new construction portal, the company is engaged in development activities in Kyiv and Lviv. Since 2010, 45 buildings have been commissioned, and 6 buildings are under construction.
Citizens of Ukraine at the end of the third quarter of 2025 entered the top ten largest foreign buyers of real estate in Spain – they accounted for 758 sales transactions, according to the data of the Spanish Registration Service (Registrars) for Q3.
Leaders among foreign buyers were citizens of the UK (1 871 transactions), Germany (1 539) and the Netherlands (1 416). Romania (1,321) and Morocco (1,317) followed, as well as France (1,241) and Italy (1,177).
Poland (1,096) and Belgium (1,021) are also in the top 10. Ukraine ranked 10th (758), ahead of China (687) and Sweden (578).
Other countries represented in the statistics include Ireland (424 transactions), the US (405), Russia (403) and Bulgaria (251).
In Spain, foreign property buyers have slowed down a bit, but they’re still the main drivers of the market – especially folks from the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands.
According to the Spanish property registry, foreigners purchased nearly 23,700 residential properties in the third quarter of 2025, which is 4% less than in the same period in 2024. The share of transactions involving non-residents fell to 13.6% from 14.9% a year earlier, but is still about 36% higher than the average for the last ten years.
Who is buying: top nations in the Spanish housing market
In the third quarter of 2025, the largest groups of foreign buyers were:
Among other important buyers in the third quarter, moderate growth was recorded from Romania and Morocco, while demand from France, Italy, Belgium, and Poland declined slightly. Interest from buyers in the US and Morocco remained close to last year’s level. Demand from the Russian Federation and China fell significantly, by approximately 34% and 23%, respectively.
The full picture for 2024
According to the summary data for 2024, foreigners bought about 93,000 residential properties in Spain, accounting for about 14.6% of all transactions on the market. This is one of the highest figures in the history of observations.
According to the results for 2024, the main national groups are as follows:
Thus, the top ten in terms of purchase volume is primarily made up of Europeans – British, Germans, Moroccans, Dutch, Romanians, Italians, French, and Poles, supplemented by buyers from China and Ukraine.
Regions that attract foreigners
The most popular regions among foreign buyers remain the Mediterranean coast and islands: the Valencian Community, Andalusia, Catalonia, the Balearic Islands, and the Canary Islands. They account for the vast majority of foreign purchases, and in some provinces, such as Alicante and Malaga, the share of foreigners in the total volume of transactions reaches 30-40%.
What does the correction in demand mean?
Experts view the slight decline in the number of transactions in the third quarter of 2025 as a technical correction after a record-breaking 2024 rather than a reversal of the trend.
The share of foreigners remains significantly higher than the pre-crisis average, and Spain continues to attract buyers with its combination of climate, relatively affordable prices, and developed infrastructure.
At the same time, the structure of demand is gradually changing: the positions of the British and Germans remain strong, but buyers from the Netherlands, Central and Eastern Europe, and North Africa are playing an increasingly prominent role. For the local market, this means that the high proportion of foreign buyers will remain, but with greater diversity in terms of nationalities and sources of capital.
