• Seller: PrJSC TAST-GARANTIYA, registered in Odesa in 1998, with its registered office in this very yard. Its main registered activity is letting its own property, plus warehousing, transport support, consulting and facility services. The state register (17 Aug 2026) shows normal status, no bankruptcy or liquidation; the beneficial owner is recorded as "none" because the shareholding is dispersed.
• Origin of the property: title certificate issued to the seller in 2015; land use rights from 2000 and 2001. This is an established company's long-held campus, not a distressed asset bought for resale.
• Why sell: not stated. The property was placed under a tax lien in 2024 and the sale rules route the first payment to the tax debt, so the sale is most likely meant to clear the seller's tax arrears (our inference). The amount of the tax debt is not disclosed; the seller will certify it after the auction.

Transportna St lies south of Odesa's main railway station: about 2 km from the station and 3.5 km from Derybasivska St in the centre (straight-line), in a mixed office, warehouse and residential area along the railway. It is not a retail location, but access is easy — well suited to offices, a fleet and light storage.

Unlike most auction lots, this campus can be used almost immediately. Parts of the buildings date from 1927, so have an engineer check the structure and roofs.

All buildings in the yard are registered as one jointly owned complex. The seller holds 875/1000, corresponding to all of its own buildings; the other 125/1000 corresponds to building V (202.1 m²), owned by TOV "Transinzhyniryng". That company has attached an irrevocable offer to the auction:

• the winner may accept in writing within 30 days of notarising the main purchase agreement, and the sale of building V is to be signed within 60 days of acceptance;
• the price is the auction price per m² × 202.1 m² — about UAH 5.32 million (≈$117,000) at the starting price.

That lets the buyer end up with 100% of the yard instead of sharing it with an unrelated co-owner. Have a lawyer confirm how enforceable the offer is.

This is the point that needs most care. Under the sale passport and the draft "partial payment agreement":

1. after the auction, the winner signs a partial payment agreement with the seller;
2. within 2 business days the seller certifies the current amount of its tax debt;
3. within 2 business days the buyer makes the "first payment" (at least the tax debt), which the seller uses to pay the tax authority;
4. once the lien is lifted and deregistered, the main purchase agreement is signed, the balance is paid and title transfers.

The land is owned by the City of Odesa; the seller holds 0.6212 ha in permanent use (2000) and 0.1139 ha in temporary use (2001). Rights to municipal land do not pass automatically with the buildings (Land Code, art. 120). After the transfer, the buyer applies to the city council for a lease (or to buy, art. 128), without a land auction (art. 134). Private companies can no longer hold new permanent-use rights, so a lease is the usual outcome. This takes time and money.

Comparison	Per m² incl. VAT	Notes
This campus (starting price)	≈$581	Self-contained yard, usable offices, parking, 0.73 ha land rights
Two full office floors in a city-centre tower (state enterprise sale)	≈$576 (≈$675 with assumed debts)	Floors in a high-rise, no yard; buyer takes over a state enterprise
Bankrupt retail space, Mala Arnautska St	≈$668 (starting price)	Retail space without its own entrance

Against other Odesa office lots currently at auction this is not cheap, but more of the price buys usable quality: a private yard, parking, landscaping, immediate use and the option to own it all. We have no reliable statistics on comparable campus sales; ask a local agent for prices of similar office yards before setting your limit. If fewer than two bidders apply, the seller may relist at a lower price.

Use	Verdict	Why
Regional HQ: offices + fleet + light storage	Best	Gated yard, gatehouse, canopies, 75 kW, near the railway station
Business park / serviced offices for SMEs and foreign companies	Good	Three buildings can be let separately; part is already let
Training centre, clinic, laboratory	Possible	Fire-safety and sanitary approvals for the specific use
Conversion to hotel or apartments	Caution	Change of use and land paperwork; not a tourist area
Demolish and redevelop	Not advised	Land is held under use rights only; the buildings are in good order

Foreigners investing at least $100,000 in Ukraine's economy may apply for an immigration permit. Buying this campus through a Ukrainian company with foreign capital and using it for a genuine business (HQ, letting, services) fits that idea well in amount and form. However, permits are subject to an annual quota and are decided by the migration service — approval is not guaranteed. Funds must be foreign currency transferred from abroad with a documented source, and wartime procedures may change.

Buyer	Fit	Why
Trading, logistics, engineering or pharma-distribution company needing an Odesa HQ	Best	Offices, fleet and storage in one yard
Serviced-office / business-park operator	Good	Buildings can be let separately; presentable campus
Long-term rental investor	Possible	Existing tenants; price in wartime vacancy risk
Private individual on a limited budget	No	Deposit ≈$41k; ≈$818k total, ≈$935k for 100% of the yard

1. View the site (Mon–Fri, by appointment) with an engineer;
2. Lawyer review of the draft purchase agreement, the partial-payment agreement and the building V offer;
3. Get the tax-debt figure certified by the tax authority;
4. Check the leases in building B (term, rent, termination);
5. Ask the city council about converting the land rights to a lease and the likely rent;
6. Set a maximum bid that includes building V, land paperwork and refurbishment.

Bidding requires a Ukrainian tax number and bank account; most foreign buyers use a Ukrainian company. We can support due diligence and bidding (due-diligence fee 1% of the starting price above $100,000; auction support 1% and closing 1% of the final price), delivered by our auction-services partner ТОВ «ЛЕНД ЕНД ЕКСПАТ» (Luqiao). AU139 never handles transaction funds.
