Vacancy of shopping and entertainment centers in Kiev decreased from 16.3% in 2023 to 15.2% at the end of the first half of 2024, said the head of legal consulting department of UTG Konstantin Oleynik.
“At the end of last year, about 21.4% of space was de facto vacant, due to the closure of foreign department stores (IKEA, Inditex, H&M and others). The actual vacancy rate was 16.3%. Thanks to the opening of most foreign operators, the vacancy gap with actually closed stores has narrowed,” he said.
According to UTG research, the vacancy rate is higher in regional (18.4%) and district (17%) shopping centers, lower in specialized (9.8%) and district (7%) shopping centers.
The expert noted the trend of decreasing effective demand of the population. The growth of household expenditures on housing and utilities services and CP payment continues (at the end of 2023 this category was 18.8% and with the growth of electricity tariffs there is further growth), health care (4.7%), transportation (4.8%), communication (4.3%), education (3.6%). Cumulatively, these categories drain 36.1% from the family budget. Food and alcohol accumulate 43.4% of expenditures. The share of retail network (clothing and footwear, electronics, household goods, cafes and restaurants, entertainment, other goods) in the structure of expenditures is only 16.0% per family ($73.4 or 2,684.5 UAH per month). Inflation and rapid price growth lead to a reduction in individual savings (about 4.4% in 2023).
In general, general savings and cost rationalization are recorded, for the mall market this entails a decrease in attendance and adjustment of rental rates. Compared to pre-war rates, rates for some product groups have halved or more.
“Food supermarkets have become one of the few operators able to generate sustainable footfall and pay moderately high rental rates ($10-20/sq. m in August 2024), while most department stores, entertainment (cinemas, DDCs), fitness centers are aiming for a minimum fixed payment (around $1/sqm) with an additional RTO (fixed payments of $2 to $12/sqm prevailed before the war), shifting the risk to the developer,” Oleynik reported.
According to UTG research, taking into account the current income level of the population, solvent demand is able to ensure successful functioning for 2 million 313 thousand sq. m. in the capital, and in the second quarter of 2024 there were already 2 million 457 thousand sq. m. in operation.
Competition continues to intensify: large shopping centers with a total area of 250 thousand square meters are declared for opening in 2024-2025. Among them are Ocean Mall (GLA 110 thousand sq. m), Lukiyanivka (47 thousand sq. m), White Lines shopping mall (28 thousand sq. m), New Ray (34.5 thousand sq. m), April Mall (36.5 thousand sq. m), BalticSky (20 thousand sq. m). There is a possibility that most of the announced openings may be postponed to a later period.
According to Oleinik’s estimation, the commissioning of the declared projects will bring about a surplus of retail space and gradual redistribution of consumer flows between objects, vacancy growth and downward correction of rental rates. At the existing level of incomes and expenditures of the population, the vacancy rate may reach 17% in 2025.
UTG was established in 2001. It has developed more than 1300 real estate concepts. During the years of work with the company’s participation 4.7 million square meters of commercial space in Ukraine have been leased out.

The number of registration actions in the field of state registration of rights to real estate in the first quarter of 2024 by 38%, and in the field of business – by 23%, said the head of the Office of counteraction to raiding of the Ministry of Justice Viktor Dubovik.
“Starting from 2020, I am of the opinion that the number of registration actions is one of the important indicators of economic activity in the state. Because the majority of registration actions are revenues to the budget in the form of administrative fees, the emergence of new rights and obligations of citizens and businesses, as well as the presence of demand for the services of notaries and state registrars,” his words are quoted on the website of the Ministry of Justice.
Dubovik specified that for the first three months of 2024 was made 2 million 605.73 thousand registration actions on the real estate and 263.48 thousand – on business, while for the same period in 2023 – respectively 1 million 887.60 thousand and 214.26 thousand.
At the same time, according to his data, the number of complaints received by the Office in the field of real estate increased even more significantly – up to 699 from 290 in the first quarter of last year, while in the business sector the situation, on the contrary, improved: the number of complaints decreased to 115 from 119.

Land plots are being bought even more than in 2021
Ukrainians began to buy and sell land and real estate more actively in the first quarter of 2024, according to the Unified Register of Notarial Forms of the Ministry of Justice. Over 185,000 land alienation agreements were registered during this period. This is 36.4% more than before the full-scale invasion. And alienations of other real estate increased by 55% – but this is still less than in 2021.
In 2024, Ukrainians are more likely to sell or transfer land to other ownership. In particular, 185 thousand land alienation agreements were drawn up by notaries in the first quarter of 2024. This is 56% more than in the same period last year: then notaries certified almost 119 thousand such forms.
The number of such agreements is already a third higher than before the start of the full-scale war. Back then, in 2021, more than 136 thousand land alienation agreements were formalized.
At the same time, the number of alienations of real estate other than land has increased by one and a half times this year.

It should be reminded that the total number of notarial forms used last year increased by 2.6 million) , but still remains lower than before the outbreak of full-scale war.
The Spanish government intends to cancel the program that provides foreigners with “golden visas” in exchange for real estate investments, the Financial Times reports, citing a statement by Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.
Currently, citizens of non-EU countries can obtain a Spanish residence permit for a period of three years by investing at least EUR 500 thousand in real estate in the country.
The abolition of the program will improve the situation with the availability of housing in Spain, Sanchez said.
“Currently, 94 out of 100 of these visas are issued for real estate investments in large cities that are already facing a very difficult market. Those who already live there, work and pay taxes, can hardly find decent housing,” the prime minister said.
