Damaged housing ≠ lost value: European media outlet Tech.eu on the DOMOVA model
Tech.eu—a leading European outlet read by VCs, developers and tech founders—has featured DOMOVA’s united-building model. The article shows how we pool owners of unsafe blocks for a collective sale. Our next opportunity, 93 Bazarna St. in Odesa, forecasts a 10–20 % premium for owners and 30–40 % ROI for investors. Partnership welcome.
Since the start of Russia’s full‑scale invasion, more than 13 % of Ukraine’s housing stock has been damaged or destroyed—over 2.5 million households. For residents of unsafe buildings this means daily risk; for the market it means an almost illiquid asset. In her article for Tech.eu, journalist Cate Lawrence explored how DOMOVA turns such buildings into attractive investment projects.
DOMOVA: the world’s only “united‑building” platform
DOMOVA is the only platform worldwide that unites 100 % of apartment and commercial-unit owners in derelict, unsafe or war‑damaged buildings to sell the entire property, as one asset, to investors or developers. We are creating a new market: converting illiquid flats into profitable combined assets while offering investors an instrument with a projected 30–40 % annual return.
Bazarna 93: a collective‑sale case study
In Odesa’s historic centre, the building at 93 Bazarna Street shows deep façade cracks and sagging floor slabs. Residents still live in hazardous conditions, yet a piecemeal renovation is impossible.
Current status
- 100 % of co‑owners have filed sale requests.
- Legal and technical due diligence has been completed.
- A full data package for investors is ready.
DOMOVA is the single marketplace where owners see each other’s intentions and agree on a consolidated price—giving every co‑owner +10–20 % above individual market value plus a share in the developer’s future profit.
The Tech.eu media effect: why it matters
Publication on Tech.eu has given Bazarna 93 additional visibility among professional investors across the EU and the UK. It confirms that the “united‑building” model can scale beyond Ukraine and become a standard for renewing obsolete neighbourhoods in Eastern Europe.
DOMOVA turns “united building – unlimited potential” into reality:
- For owners: a transparent, lucrative sale.
- For investors: access to a unique, high‑return reconstruction and investment market.
- For cities: an upgraded housing stock—without extra budget spending.
A special thank-you to journalist Cate Lawrence for her in-depth coverage of the DOMOVA model on Tech.eu and for drawing international attention to the challenge of unsafe housing.

Market research shows that prices are rising for Kyiv homes with shelters and energy autonomy, while unmodernised housing stock from the 1960s and 1970s is selling at discounts of up to 10%. DOMOVA explains why this divide is not a temporary anomaly, but a new standard for assessing residential property.
We attended Ukraine’s key investment conference on recovery in Gdańsk, URC2026, and once again saw that funding does not work without well-prepared projects. We explain why old and unsafe housing stock should be viewed as an economic asset, not only as a social problem, and how public-private partnership can help move urban recovery forward.
