Investments in URBAN MALL - commercial real estate in the heart of traffic in the south of Odesa

Despite all the challenges of wartime, the Odesa region remains the economic outpost of southern Ukraine. This resilience and concentration of business opportunities create a crucial center of stability. In this context, the multifunctional complex URBAN MALL by ZEZMAN Holdings is not just a new real estate object, but a strategic investment proposal. It is the embodiment of the innovative mixed-use concept and the Phygital Ecosystem, which provides investors with high returns, minimal risks and long-term capitalization.

URBAN MALL creates a qualitatively different environment that meets the current demand of the metropolis: decentralization and integration of life, business and outdoor activities into a single, reliable environment. You can invest in it right now.

Guaranteed profitability: ROI 10-13.7%.

URBAN MALL offers investors specific and attractive economic indicators. Due to the well-thought-out concept and high rental activity, the projected ROI (Return on Investment) in the project is 10-13.7% per annum. This figure is exceptionally high and sustainable for the current Ukrainian realities.

The key to such profitability is the focus on the small commercial sector (65 premises on two floors), which demonstrates exceptional sustainability. The need for local services, shops and cafes that meet the daily needs of residents is not disappearing, but rather growing in areas with concentrated housing stock. An additional advantage for investors is the management company, which takes care of all operational issues, ensuring efficient management of the facility and minimizing the risk of downtime.

TENSHU Management Company was established for the safety and interests of investors. It is responsible for the correct zoning, the absence of conflicting businesses, a stable customer flow, technical and service standards, transparent financial calculations, and business growth, taking over some of the operational processes.

Ready traffic

URBAN MALL's strategic location is its most important investment asset. The project is located in the epicenter of a large-scale residential development, right next to the ZEZMAN residential clusters and the ARTVILLE town. This concentration provides ready-made, stable and predictable traffic, which is the basis for the profitability of any commercial real estate. Due to the unique synergy of the infrastructure, the projected attendance of the mall will reach 250 thousand people per month.

The project is an ideal embodiment of the "15-minute city" concept, where a resident can meet all his or her domestic, social and leisure needs within walking distance. The number of residents is 424,000 within a 6 km radius. The URBAN MALL project consolidates all the traffic of the location, covering all the needs of consumers

This format guarantees high customer loyalty and, accordingly, stable income for tenants. URBAN MALL is transforming the area into a new urban center, relieving the chronically overcrowded center of Odesa and creating a new, organized and comfortable agglomeration.

The URBAN MALL business clusters are designed to meet the full range of daily needs and leisure activities of residents. They include entertainment, recreation and shopping areas, as well as offer a variety of food options: from delicious dishes in restaurants to high-quality food and beverages. There are separate sectors of services and goods that simplify life as much as possible, as well as health and beauty clusters that provide comprehensive care. In addition, URBAN MALL creates the best and safest place for child development, which makes it attractive to young families.

Sustainability of the region

The decision to invest in URBAN MALL is based on the macroeconomic indicators of Odesa region, which demonstrate the region's resilience even in times of war. In 2025, Odesa region demonstrated leadership in the number of registrations of new sole proprietorships, which is a direct indicator of the recovery and development of local entrepreneurship. In addition, Odesa ranks fifth in the ranking of Ukrainian cities in terms of opening new retail facilities, while demonstrating high resilience to the closure of existing facilities. This reflects the high demand for commercial space and a favorable business environment.

The role of Odesa region as the country's main economic and logistics hub due to its port infrastructure also plays a key role. This provides a stable potential for international and national business, which directly affects the value of commercial real estate.

The analysis of the commercial real estate market in Odesa in recent years clearly shows a significant trend in the formation of "real" and "deferred" demand. This phenomenon creates a powerful pressure that inevitably affects the future growth of sales and rental prices. Therefore, now is a strategically opportune time to invest in URBAN MALL to fix the value of the asset before the start of the predictable and rapid price growth in the market.

Architecture, integration and digital ecosystem

URBAN MALL is not only an economic project, but also an architectural innovation. The complex offers commercial premises located on two green floors connected by promenade terraces. An additional convenience is provided by an underground parking lot with 300 parking spaces.

The key feature is integration and synergy with the environment. The complex is seamlessly connected to the open public space, padel tennis courts and is a continuation of the ARTVILLE Capsule Park. This linkage creates a unique balance between commerce and leisure, maximizing visitors' dwell time and increasing their spending.

The project is also an embodiment of the Phygital Ecosystem by ZEZMAN Holdings. It is a combination of real and digital environments, where digital services facilitate access to infrastructure, facility management, and communication. This ensures a high level of comfort for tenants and minimizes operating costs, which directly affects the net investment income.

URBAN MALL, scheduled to be commissioned in 2027-2028, is a strategic, highly profitable asset in the only sustainable region of Southern Ukraine. This is not just a purchase of square meters, but an investment in a successful business model, backed by ready-made traffic from residential clusters, professional management from ZEZMAN Holdings and a guaranteed ROI of 10-13.7% per annum. The project is open to private and institutional investors seeking a safe, liquid and growing asset in the economic heart of Odesa region.
