There were no takers for the historic Main Post Office in Odesa

The auction to find a tenant for the building of the Main Post Office on Sadova Street in the center of Odesa did not take place due to the lack of takers.

This was reported in the Prozorro.Sale system.

The premises offered for lease were 4,507.3 square meters, including 409.8 common areas on the first and second floors of the three-story administrative building. The premises are suitable for use and require current repairs. The building is located in the historical part of the city.

The Odesa Main Post Office is a historic building in Odesa, a cultural heritage site. It was built in 1893-1895 by the architects Volodymyr Kharlamov (1860-1907) and Vladyslav Dombrovskyi, the contractor was titheman A. Dorofeiev. The site for the construction was chosen by a specially created commission. The site overlooked Sadova and Koblevska streets, and with this in mind, a complex consisting of two buildings was constructed: the post office was located on the side of Sadova street, and the house of postal and telegraph employees on Koblevska street. The post office building was designed to combine all communication services (post, telegraph, telephone) in one complex.

The starting price of the building lease was UAH 360.6 thousand.

In October 2024, on September 30, the Odesa Main Post Office, located at 10 Sadova Street, moved to a new location. At the time, Artem Bondarenko, director of network development for the Odesa region of Ukrposhta, explained that the premises were too large, and the employees themselves used less than half of the building, about 48%. In addition, Ukrposhta opened a new branch at 11 Sofiivska Street.

In January 2022, the Odesa Directorate of Ukrposhta held a tender to develop design and estimate documentation for "Repair and restoration work on the main facade of the building at 10 Sadova Street, Odesa." The winner of the tender was Hiprograd Plus Limited Liability Company, which agreed to work for UAH 1 million 79.5 thousand.
