Construction of a waste processing plant in Lviv is planned to be completed by the end of this year, the construction work is 25% complete, said Mayor Andriy Sadovoy.
“Inspected the construction of the waste processing plant. Now 100% of design and 25% of construction works are already done. By the end of the year we plan to finish the construction. The next stage – installation of equipment”, – the mayor wrote in Facebook on Monday.
He reminded that the construction is being done by a Polish company Control Process S.A., which has experience of similar works. Capacity of the plant will amount to 250 thousand tons per year.
In addition, the reclamation of the Gribovichi landfill continues, more than 90% of the work has already been completed, Sadovaya added.
As reported, on June 1, 2018, the Lviv City Council and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development signed an agreement for a total amount of EUR35 million intended for the construction of a waste recycling plant and reclamation of the Grybovychi landfill.
More than 70% of construction sites in Kiev, Lviv and Odessa continue to work, prices for the year increased in the capital by 36.1%, in Odessa by 48.4%, in Lviv by 82.7%, said the founder of M4U Vladimir Danilenko to the agency “Interfax-Ukraine”.
“During the year of war in Ukraine, real estate markets in most major cities continued to grow. The cost per square meter rose during the year in line with rising production costs, the devaluation of the hryvnia and the distance from the front line. In October 2022 the tendency has changed: the prices in Lviv continue to grow, in Kiev and Odessa have stabilized”, – said Danylenko.
According to M4U, the number of active construction in the capital today is 83.7% of the beginning of February 2022 – 185 of 221 housing estates.
At the beginning of February 2023 the average price per square meter in new buildings in Kiev was 61 thousand 234 UAH. This is 36.1% higher than it was before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but 1.2% lower than in January. Prices were rising most actively in the summer, when most sales departments resumed their work and when the official dollar exchange rate went up. From June to September the average cost per square meter increased by 26.7%.
“Today the pace of construction work is much lower than before the war, so it does not make sense and possible for developers to often recalculate the cost of construction. Market factors for price increases are also absent,” Danilenko explains.
According to the study of M4U, the largest increase in the cost per square meter was noted in the segments of elite (+46.1%) and economy (+44.3%). The price increase in popular among buyers classes of comfort and business was 35.5% and 34.4%, respectively.
At the beginning of February 2023 the majority of real estate offers are concentrated in the price range from 34 to 54 thousand UAH/sq. m, comfort class objects prevail among them.
Traditionally the biggest number of actively built and sold new buildings, as well as apartment offers, is in Holosiivskyi district of Kiev. More than a half of them (16 out of 29 Residential Complexes) are the objects of comfort class. The second largest volume of construction is in Pechersk district, where 15 out of 26 housing estates are positioned in business class, the rest – the elite. In Shevchenkivskyi district of Kiev 24 residential complexes are under construction, most of which belong to business class. Fewer new homes are being built in Obolonskyi (11 LC) and Desnianskyi (10 LC) districts. At the same time the supply of new apartments in Desniansky district is twice as much as in Obolonsky, there is more housing in the economy class housing.
In the Kiev region at the beginning of February 2023, 204 out of 263 construction sites resumed their work a year ago (77.5%). A square meter in the suburbs of the capital on average has risen by 34.1%, to 31 844 UAH. As in the capital, the most active price increase occurred in summer, from October to February prices remained practically unchanged.
In contrast to the capital, the prices for new buildings of the comfort class rose more substantially – by 33%, to 29,992 UAH. Apartments in new buildings of economy and business classes rose in price by 30% and 30.1%, respectively. The price increase in objects, positioned in the elite class, was 28%.
Most proposals of the capital region belong to comfort and business classes, price range is 26-32 thousand UAH.
Most of the objects are built and sold in Irpen (41 LC), Sofievskaya Borschagivka (17 LC), Brovary, Gostomel (13 LC) and Bucha (12 LC). By volume of apartments for sale are leaders in Sofievskaya Borschagivka and Brovary, a few less proposals in Kryukivschyna, Irpen, Bucha.
In Lviv and the Lviv region the number of new buildings in active construction and sales is now the same as it was before the Russian invasion – 218, during the year this figure has changed slightly.
The average price per square meter for the year increased by 82.7%, to 45 706 UAH.
The majority of objects in Lviv are in the price range from 24 to 34 thousand UAH, in the structure of supply the comfort class dominates.
Thus, according to the study of M4U, the greatest price dynamics is observed in the business class, where the cost per square meter for the year increased more than twice, by 109%. In the economy segment, prices rose by 66.7%, comfort by 60.3%, and elite by 58.7%.
The largest amount of apartments in new buildings are in Shevchenkivskyi (35 LCD) and Sikhivskyi (32 LCD) areas.
In Odessa and the region a square meter in new buildings during the year of war increased by an average of 48.4%. Here are active 131 out of 180 construction sites before the war (72.8%).
Prices, like in other regions, were rising during the summer, in October the growth stopped, and in December there is even a decrease in prices, an average of 2.3% for two months.
Over the year a square meter more expensive in the segments of economy and elite – 59% and 57%, respectively. The average price increase in new buildings in the comfort class was 46.1%.
“The most interesting dynamics is in the business class: during the year the cost per square meter increased by an average of 39.5%, but it is in this class we observe the largest price decrease during September 2022 – February 2023, which was 5.1%,” – said Danylenko.
The majority of proposals in Odessa new buildings are in comfort and business segments in the price range of 24-38 thousand UAH.
The leader by the number of new buildings is Primorsky district, where now the apartments are sold in 30 residential complexes, of which 16 are positioned in the elite class. In Kievsky district 25 Residential Complexes are under active construction, 12 of which belong to comfort class.
