It is built on the site of former USSR rubber factory. If you ever been to a USSR rubber factory ... The project started in 2009, so i'd be wondering how well the developer cleaned up the site in Ukraine in the years of crisis.
Not surprisingly the son of the Kyiv mayor at the time is the major stakeholder in the project.
The reviews frequently mention very thin, not sound-proof walls as well as a railway very close-by with no promised noise-protection wall. As it is customary there is no garages, no covered parking. Only street parking. There is no typical setback (the absence of the setback saves land and provides for that Lego European look), so street parking facing windows on the lower floors can't be really open because of smell/fumes (add not all the cars in Ukraine are fuel injected nor have catalytic converters) and opening windows on say a hot day/night is pretty customary, and as you can see from the photographs most don't have AC.
- sokoloff 5y agoAre there new cars being sold in Ukraine without catalytic converters/FI? Or just some old cars that lack those? We have pre-1975 cars in the US without converters (and somewhat newer carbureted cars), but by normal turnover and retirement of cars, they’re pretty uncommon and extremely rare as daily drivers.
- trhway 5y agoAs far as i see the cut-off was something like 2003, and the law is really not that enforced, and most of the cars are used European with many having their converter removed for scrap, either by thieves or by the owner.
