Foreign Investment in Prime Kyiv Real Estate During Wartime

Sophia Square - Kyiv, Ukraine

Lions Lawyers successfully represented the interests of a client from Japan in the acquisition of one of the most valuable real estate assets in central Kyiv, Ukraine, located within a UNESCO-protected historical area.

The transaction was complex and strategically significant. Our legal team conducted full legal due diligence, structured the transaction, supported multiple rounds of negotiations, and successfully finalised the deal in Kyiv.

The property is situated in one of the most iconic locations in the capital — a place where history and modern life intersect. Located on Kyiv’s central square, the area is renowned as the focal point of national celebrations, including New Year’s Eve events. The building is surrounded by historic landmarks, including churches dating back over 1,000 years, creating an atmosphere that is truly unique and incomparable.

From an investment perspective, the acquisition was exceptionally well-planned. Even amid the ongoing war, property values in this prime central district have remained resilient, demonstrating the long-term strength and stability of strategically selected Ukrainian assets.
