Another important factor of the successful development of the Ukrainian retail is the presence of high-quality commercial real estate. Retail parks and shopping centers of the new generation are the most promising formats of commercial real estate on the Ukrainian market at an early date. In addition, there is a trend of active construction commercial premises.

At the Ukrainian market of organized retail Ukrainian set operators dominate. However, the high investment attractiveness of Ukrainian retail market has helped to promote the foreign companies. To date there are MetroCash&Carry(Germany), Billa(Austria), Spar(Holland) in Ukraine. Russian hypermarket O’KEY started to work in Ukraine. MetroAG has registered hypermarket chain Real. German company Praktiker entered to Ukrainian retail market with hypermarkets with DIY format (Dolt yourself – building materials and household goods), Germany company OBI – entered this year.

Significantly increased the number of transactions for the purchase of single networks and networks with low profitability, with the prospect of re-branding. This is a consequence of the difficulties with the release of land for construction of commercial objects.

A significant part of the investment projects in the space of construction of retail, mergers and acquisitions are realized by attracting borrowed funds. Investors, like operators, believe that retail is the most investment-attractive area; they expect a further increase in turnover. Repayment of borrowed funds is planned at the expense of refinancing of new loans.
