Q1 2025 New-Build Housing in Ukraine: Where Construction Is Thriving

Kyiv region tops residential completions as western and central oblasts attract developers; front-line areas lag behind

Q1 2025 Snapshot

  • Total apartments delivered: 28 432

    • 8 462 in single-family houses

    • 19 970 in multi-family blocks

  • Total floor area: ≈ 2.3 million m²

    • 1.15 million m² in detached housing

    • 1.04 million m² of net living space

  • Source: State Statistics Service of Ukraine (data exclude occupied territories)


Regions With the Highest Housing Completions

Rank Region Apartments Floor Area (m²)
1 Kyiv Oblast 5 472 444 000+
2 City of Kyiv 4 076 282 000+
3 Odesa Oblast 3 488 199 000+
4 Lviv Oblast 3 076 n/a
5 Vinnytsia Oblast 2 409 n/a

Key drivers

  • Ongoing relocation from front-line zones

  • Upgraded transport and utility infrastructure

  • Growing demand for both rental and owner-occupied units


Regions With Minimal Activity

  • Kherson – 16 units

  • Donetsk – 40 units

  • Mykolaiv – 49 units

  • Kirovohrad – 60 units

  • Sumy – 75 units

Security risks and damaged supply chains continue to suppress construction in these oblasts.


What the Numbers Mean for Investors and Homebuyers

Kyiv region remains the reconstruction hub

  • Largest share of national completions

  • Strong rental yields driven by inward migration

Western and central oblasts are emerging growth markets

  • Odesa: coastal appeal and logistics expansion

  • Lviv and Vinnytsia: IT, manufacturing, and university centres boosting demand

Front-line areas show limited potential—so far

  • Rebuilding plans depend on security improvements and international financing
