Property for sale in Mykolaiv

Previously, NikVesti researched the Mykolaiv property market and the trends that had been developing since 2024 and continued thereafter. In particular, there was a rise in the supply of commercial properties and ready-to-run businesses for sale, as well as an increase in the privatisation of municipal property through online auctions.

In 2024, a number of large commercial properties were put up for sale in the city — the «Storm» entertainment complex, the former «Ilich» cinema, the Daily Cafe restaurant and a brewery in the Ingulsky district. This reflected a trend of business assets that were already operational or ready for launch entering the market.

At the same time, the city gradually expanded the practice of selling municipal property via Prozorro.Sales; over the course of the year, the city has already received over 123 million hryvnias from privatisation.
