No one was interested in the premises of the oligarch's former hotel in Odesa, even at a discount

Two auctions for the sale of premises in the Black Sea Hotel, located in the center of Odesa at 59 Rishelievska Street, failed once again due to the lack of bidders.

The relevant information is available in the Prozorro.Sale system.

New auctions were to be held on December 27. One of them involved the sale of a commercial and ancillary annexe consisting of four floors and a technical floor with a total area of 3,184.9 square meters.

This building was constructed in 2014 and is used as an underground parking lot for cars, with a total of 70 parking spaces. Type: parking lot (underground), parking lot. The starting price of this lot was UAH 32 million at the previous auction, and now it is UAH 25 million.

It is worth noting that on the eve of Russia's full-scale invasion in January 2022, the Supreme Court of Ukraine upheld the ruling of the Southwestern Economic Court of Appeal, which ordered the public joint-stock company Tourist and Production Company Black Sea to demolish an unauthorized structure at its own expense.

The parking lot in question was located on the territory adjacent to residential buildings No. 55, 57, at the following address: 52 Rishelievska Street and Mala Arnautska Street, Odesa. In October 2013, the deputy prosecutor of the Prymorskyi district of Odesa filed a lawsuit demanding the demolition of the building, but in 2014, the Odesa Oblast Economic Court dismissed the prosecutor's claim. The prosecutor's office then appealed to the Court of Appeal, which overturned the decision of the first instance court and ordered the building to be demolished.

The second lot was the premises of the third floor of the hotel of 579.9 square meters. The premises are a third-floor superstructure on the two-story part of the hotel building. The starting price was UAH 20 million, and the new price was UAH 16 million.

In 2018, the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine gave its consent to the acquisition of two hotels in the center of Odesa owned by MP Leonid Klimov.

At that time, Sberbank became the owner of the integral property complex belonging to PJSC Tourist and Production Firm "Black Sea" at 25 Panteleimonovskaya Street and 59 Rishelievskaya Street.

In May, the insolvency officer had already tried to sell these premises, but to no avail. An attempt to hold an auction in November 2024 also failed.
