Zezman Holding completed 15.2 thousand square meters of housing in 2024 and is developing projects in Uzhhorod and Odesa

Zezman Holding (Odesa) completed the construction of 15.2 thousand square meters of housing in 2024 and will continue to implement the previously announced residential estates in Uzhhorod and Odesa next year.

“This year, we have taken a bold and strategically important step by expanding our presence from the southern region to the west of Ukraine. We presented two large-scale projects: Lizrome in Uzhhorod, the first residential community in the region that meets the principles of sustainable development, and Gross Liebental cottage community in Odesa agglomeration, designed with a focus on energy autonomy, security and flexibility of housing solutions,” Boris Goldenstein, founder and CEO of Zezman Holding, toldInterfax-Ukraine.

By the end of 2024, the developer completed the construction of two buildings with 357 apartments in the Artville residential complex in Odesa, with a total area of 15.2 thousand square meters. The construction of nine buildings for 1 thousand apartments with a total area of 43.5 thousand square meters is also underway.

According to the company, about 40% of sales are made under the eOselya program, which indicates a high demand for mortgage programs.

“At the same time, we are seeing an increase in demand for ready-made housing, in particular, for renovated apartments that meet the principles of ready to use. This reflects the changing priorities of consumers who are looking for comfort and convenience without spending time and money on repairs,” Zezman Holding said.

Founded in 2013, Zezman Holding has commissioned 13 houses, with another 28 residential buildings at various stages of construction.

“Electron” delivered first buses for Uzhhorod under contract for 13 units

Urban transport manufacturer Concern Electron has delivered the first four 12-meter buses, Electron A18501, out of the 13 units provided for in the contract to Uzhhorod Municipal Transport, the company said on Facebook.
“By the end of the year, nine more buses will be added to the fleet of the utility company,” the statement said.
The concern informed that 27 buses of this brand are already in operation in Uzhhorod, which means that upon completion of the delivery there will be 40 of them.
“Unlike many other cities, Uzhhorod has a systematic and pragmatic approach to renewing its bus fleet. The city deliberately replenishes it with vehicles of the same brand, which facilitates the maintenance and repair of rolling stock. Electron buses have been in operation in the regional center since 2018,” the company said.
As reported, the contract for the supply of 13 low-floor Electron buses for a total of UAH 126.5 million was signed on September 29, 2023, after the Electronmash plant, part of the concern, won the relevant tender.
The delivery date was set for August 31, 2023.
Other bidders were Zernotrade, which offered Chinese buses for UAH 127.8 million, and Bas Motor LLC with Bogdan buses for UAH 130 million.
In addition, Etalon Avto Trading House tried to challenge what it considered to be discriminatory tender conditions at the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine, but was unsuccessful.

Uzhhorod is most expensive city in Ukraine in terms of rental housing costs

Uzhhorod is now the most expensive city in Ukraine in terms of rental housing costs, followed by Lviv and Kyiv, according to the LUN real estate portal.

“In the first two years of the war, Lviv was considered the most expensive city for renting apartments, but now the situation has changed. In July, Uzhhorod became the most expensive city – a one-bedroom apartment here costs an average of UAH 17.7 thousand per month. This is more expensive than in the capital or in Lviv,” the press release says.

According to LUN, the average cost of renting a 1-room apartment in Lviv as of July is 16.5 thousand UAH/month, in Kyiv – 15 thousand UAH/month.

Next in the ranking are Chernivtsi – 12.3 thousand UAH/month on average for renting a one-bedroom apartment, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kropyvnytskyi, Poltava, Rivne – 12 thousand UAH/month, Cherkasy – 10 thousand UAH/month, Khmelnytskyi – 9.5 thousand UAH/month, Ternopil – 9.4 thousand UAH/month.

“LUN” notes that Odesa, which was previously expensive for renting housing, now ranks 14th with 7 thousand UAH/month. The lowest prices are generally recorded in cities that are close to the frontline and suffer from military operations: Chernihiv (5.8 thousand UAH/month), Zaporizhzhia, Sumy (5.5 thousand UAH/month), Mykolaiv (5 thousand UAH/month), Kharkiv and Kherson (4 thousand UAH/month).
