Real estate, infrastructure, and land assets are crucial structural pillars of the national economy, both literally and financially. Effective planning for acquiring and developing such assets is therefore key to sustainable project implementation and long-term value creation.

KPMG Law Ukraine’s Real Estate and Infrastructure practice provides full legal support for investment, development and public-private partnership projects. Our work covers the entire project cycle, from land acquisition and urban planning matters to construction, permitting, connection to infrastructure networks, and commissioning completed facilities. We provide legal support on matters of land and urban planning legislation, as well as regulatory frameworks governing investment activity, including implementing significant investment projects, developing and operating industrial parks, and regulatory aspects of infrastructure projects, public-private partnerships (PPP), and concessions.

Supplemented by our technical advisors from across the KPMG global network, KPMG Law Ukraine’s experienced team can help your company successfully implement any real estate project.
