Maksym Gavryushyn, Chief Operating Officer, Budhouse Group: “Nikolsky is one of the most successful projects of the retail property sector in Ukraine. The results of its first month have exceeded our expectations. The shopping center was launched with a 95% occupancy rate – this is a very good indicator in view of the pandemic. In addition, more than 99% of the leasable area was allocated before the opening. Over 1 million people have already visited the mall in the first 3 weeks. Tenants are reporting record-breaking sales. For many of them their turnover generated in our mall is the highest in the country. We are proud of these results, and we will strive to make our future projects as successful as Nikolsky.”
