Representing the buyer, Colliers International announces the successful acquisition of Pyramida Shopping Centre the first significant property investment transaction in Kyivs retail market (Ukraine).
A London-based investment company 1849 PLC and Apollo Real Estate Advisors, one of the most prominent real estate investors in the U.S. and internationally, jointly purchased Pyramida Shopping Center in Kyiv, Ukraine.
Yuri Nartov, Head of Investment Services of Colliers International in Ukraine said: Acquisition of Pyramida Shopping Centre is the first significant property transaction on the retail market in Ukraine and Kyiv, in particular. The importance of this transaction comes from the recognition that the first operating shopping centre in Ukraine was acquired by a renowned international investor such as Apollo Real Estate Advisors. Great location amidst one of Kyivs heavily populated residential districts, excellent visibility as well as its income-generating capabilities were among the key attributes to attract the investor to the subject propertyThese days we are witnessing a great deal of interest in the direction of the Ukrainian property market from foreign investors and developers. However, as a major obstacle to many more investment transactions, we see a tremendous lack of quality product on the market, which can be only alleviated through strengthening of the developer activity.
