From $2000 per square meter and workers from India. Igor Nikonov on the future of the real estate market

If we were to rank Kyiv developers, the title of the most controversial and extraordinary would certainly go to Igor Nikonov, the founder of KAN Development. In a business where it is customary to be more silent than to speak, Nikonov chooses the opposite path.
Today, he is increasingly active in speaking on behalf of the industry, making manifesto-like statements. The question arises whether he is going to return to politics?
LIGA.net talked to Nikonov. In this interview, you will find out how mobilization affects the developer's business, how the war has changed the real estate market in the capital.
About KAN's new projects in Kyiv, including scandalous ones. On attempts to find a compromise with activists. On how Nikonov sees the future of Kyiv and why he chose such a sharp and aggressive style of presenting his opinion.
On the sale of apartments in residential complexes, eHome and installment plans
How have sales changed in the residential complexes Fine Town and Respublika? How has demand changed today compared to the period before the full-scale war?
When the war started, sales plummeted. In May, we resumed construction, and by July, sales began to recover, but remained 4-5 times lower than the pre-war level. They remained at about this level until 2025. In February 2025, we had a good month. Then there was a decline, and now sales are growing again.
