The occupying authorities in Sevastopol have sold the historic building that formerly housed the "Chornomorets" Central Design Bureau. The Moscow-based company "Technical Customer" has become the new owner of the property.
This was reported by Suspilne.Crimea, citing the occupation-controlled publication ForPost.
The property is located at 1 Velyka Morska Street. The sale took place via an electronic auction on the occupation portal DIS “Torgy.” Formally, the auction itself was deemed invalid because only one bidder participated. However, according to the rules, in such cases, the contract is concluded with the sole participant at the starting price.

The purchasing company is closely linked to an entity that has, in fact, been using this property for quite some time. The founder of “Technical Customer” LLC is the firm “Sunny Beach,” which is registered in the very building that formerly housed the bureau. Since April 2023, it has been leasing a plot of land under the building from the city for a term of 49 years.
The “Chornomorets” Central Design Bureau was founded in 1946 to design military ships. In July 1993, the enterprise was renamed the state-owned enterprise “Chornomorets Central Design Bureau,” and in June 2007, it became the legal successor to the State Enterprise “Black Sea Research Institute of Shipbuilding Technology.”
Following the occupation of Crimea, the enterprise was “nationalized” by the occupying authorities. In 2018, “Chornomorets” was removed from the list of active enterprises and incorporated into the inactive Sevmorzavod.
