AVELLUM acted as the legal counsel to A-Development – one of the leading Ukrainian developers – on the construction of a real estate complex in the centre of Kyiv in the form of a joint investment with a business partner.

The complex near Arsenalna subway station will consist of a huge retail space, business centre, apartments, and multi-level underground parking with a total area of over 55,000 sq. m.

AVELLUM team advised on the deal structuring, drafted all transaction documents, and participated in negotiations between the investors. Our team prepared and negotiated a full range of transaction documents, including the shareholders’ agreement, investment agreements, deed of guarantee, share purchase agreement, sale and purchase agreements of real estate (including land plots), and easement agreements.

Yuriy Nechayev, partner of Corporate/M&A, commented:

“We are grateful to our longstanding client for the trust and productive cooperation. We are glad to be a part of this ambitious and large-scale project, and sincerely believe in its success.”

Maksym Maksymenko, partner and the head of Real Estate and Infrastructure, noted:

“The transaction documents in this deal were exceptionally complicated. Thus, with significant support from our client, our team had to do its best to prepare a proper legal basis for the project’s implementation. I believe that this is a landmark construction project in Kyiv for the next few years.”

A-Development is one of the leading Ukrainian developers known for such remarkable projects in Kyiv as Smart Plaza Obolon, A-Station, and Smart Plaza Polytech.

AVELLUM team was led by partners Yuriy Nechayev and Maksym Maksymenko with significant support from associates Daryna Mykhailenko, Dmytro Radzivon, Inna Erbelidze, and Rostyslav Mushka.
