Last year, Kyiv’s retail real estate market showed signs of recovery as shopping center vacancy rates dropped to 11.5%, while turnover of goods grew by 7.5%.According to an Expandia study, increased consumer demand and higher real wages boosted rental activity, evidenced by a 7.4-point rise in the consumer sentiment index to 78.5 annually. Inflation slowed, with Kyiv’s consumer price index falling to 109.8%, a 3.7-point decrease from the previous year. Retail turnover growth of 7.5% suggests a cautious but steady rebound.In 2025, only one small district shopping center – Baltic Sky (6,200 square meters of leasable space) – was added, leaving total retail space in Kyiv nearly unchanged at 1.59 million square meters (+0.3% annually). Retail space per 1,000 residents remained stable at 530 square meters. Future developments include two shopping centers – Ocean Mall (110,000 square meters) and White Lines (27,000 square meters).The vacancy rate declined to 11.5%, driven by existing tenants expanding and no new supply entering the market. Meanwhile, prime shopping centers maintained stable rental rates of $40-70 monthly per square meter. District shopping centers saw rates rise 15% annually to $19-40 for typical premises of 100-200 square meters in size.https://ubn.news/last-year-kyivs-retail-real-estate-market-showed-signs-of-recovery-as-shopping-center-vacancy-rates-dropped-to-11-5-while-turnover-of-goods-grew-by-7-5/ (ICE KIEV)
