According to estimates by “Intergal-Bud,” the Darnytskyi district has both the highest level of development activity and the highest concentration of housing near metro stations. This is stated in a study published by “Intergal-Bud.”
Approximately 70,000–74,000 apartments are located within a 15-minute commute of metro stations in the district. In the Holosiivskyi district, this figure is estimated at 53,000–57,000; in the Shevchenkivskyi district, 45,000–48,000; in the Obolonskyi district, 40,000–42,000; and in the Sviatoshynskyi district, 33,000–35,000 apartments.
The Darnytskyi and Dniprovskyi districts together form the largest cluster of modern residential development on the Left Bank. Analysts cite its advantages as a significant volume of new supply, lower apartment prices compared to central districts, proximity to the metro, and well-established commercial and social infrastructure.
An additional factor is the wider selection of properties available for purchase through government mortgage programs.

The Darnytskyi District led Kyiv in the number of sales launches for new residential complexes and new phases of existing projects in 2025—accounting for 27% of all such launches in the capital.
This is according to a study published by Intergal-Bud, whose analysts examined the geography of new construction, the transportation accessibility of districts, and changes in the structure of demand in Kyiv’s primary housing market.
The Holosiivskyi District ranked second in terms of development activity, with a 19% share. The Obolon district accounted for 13% of sales launches, the Shevchenkivskyi district for 11%, and the Sviatoshynskyi district for 9%. Another 20% or so was distributed among the capital’s other districts.
According to the company’s assessment, the full-scale war has altered the geography of Kyiv’s primary market. Development activity is gradually shifting from central districts to areas where comprehensive development projects can be implemented and mid-range housing can be offered.
Until 2022, buyers tended to compare the right and left banks, the prestige of the district, and the distance to the city center. Now, the main criteria are the price of the apartment, access to the metro, shelters, the building’s autonomous power supply, and the ability to use public transportation during air raid alerts.
Existing social infrastructure—such as schools, kindergartens, medical facilities, supermarkets, and other amenities necessary for daily life—is also of great importance.

According to “Serbian Economist”, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic stated that he intends to travel to Kyiv to participate in the “Southeast Europe–Ukraine” summit, scheduled for Wednesday, July 15.
“I am going to Kyiv for the ‘Southeast Europe–Ukraine’ summit,” Vučić told reporters in Paris after attending a military parade marking France’s national holiday.
His statement was reported by the Serbian state news agency Tanjug.
Vucic noted that he had previously participated in four such meetings—in Odesa, Dubrovnik, Athens, and Tirana. At the same time, he warned that the upcoming summit in Kyiv “will not be easy,” given the content of the proposed final declaration.
The Serbian president also announced that he is scheduled to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during his trip.
In June 2025, Vučić had already visited Ukraine to participate in the previous “Ukraine–Southeast Europe” summit, which took place in Odesa.
