Earlier, the National Committee of ICSC in Ukraine raised the question of the practical need for the classification of existing trade objects in Ukraine in accordance with the international classification of ICSC shopping centers.
In August 2013, a classification for the Ukrainian market was adopted at the meeting of the ICSC Ukraine Research Group.
Thus, the task of ICSC Ukraine Reseach Group is to prepare and provide the global community of developers and retailers with systematized information about existing trading facilities in Ukraine, which will make it possible to familiarize with the existing offer and attract new international investors and retailers.
At this time, ICSC Ukraine Reseach Group specialists are at the stage of creating a single database of shopping facilities in Ukraine, combining the existing databases of developers and consultants, and on the basis of the data obtained, they classify.
The next stage of work will be the confirmation of data from the owners of shopping facilities and the inclusion of classified shopping centers in the ICSC database.
Members of the National Council of Ukraine ICSC are already representatives of such Ukrainian companies as: Immoshan, Ukrainian Trade Guild, Budhouse Group, DTZ, Colliers International, CBRE, EAST GATEDEVELOPMENT, ConcernAvecandCoJsc, Arricano, MultiCorporation, JonesLangLasalle, RetailSystems, Arzinger, Zyros, Zones DCSUkraine and others.
