The new owners of the Gulliver shopping and office complex in Kyiv have decided to close it indefinitely "to ensure its stable operation." This was reported by the press service of and the press service of Oschadbank.

on July 26, 2025, a consortium of state-owned banks ( Oschadbank – 80%, Ukreximbank – 20%) officially became the owner of the Gulliver shopping center through a collateral collection procedure, as the previous owner of the skyscraper, Tri O LLC, ceased to fulfill its loan obligations.

Oshchadbank said that despite the change of ownership, the company is actively sabotaging the transfer of management of the complex: blocking access to engineering facilities, not handing over technical documentation, deliberately overloading the power system.

Because of these actions, on October 30, 2025, at 22:00, the banks decided to temporarily close the complex.

"The purpose of this step is to ensure the safety of visitors and representatives of the complex's tenants, as well as to avoid accidents and man-made threats that may be caused by the former owner of the facility. The date and time of the resumption of the complex's operation in case of its closure will be announced additionally – it will happen immediately after the situation stabilizes," Oschadbank said in a statement.

Banks appealed to law enforcement agencies and the city military administration.

"Gulliver is one of the largest mixed-use complexes in Kyiv with 150,000 square meters of retail and office space and 35 floors. The mall was built in 2013 in the center of the capital near the Palats Sportu metro station on the site of the tram's turning ring.
  • At the end of July 2025, Oschadbank and Ukreximbank officially became the owners of Gulliver, one of the largest commercial facilities in the capital. This was the final stage of a multi-year court and collection procedure that the banks initiated due to the default of Tri O LLC.
  • It was the developer and official owner of the skyscraper, built in 2013 with loans from two state-owned banks worth $441 million.
