Forbes Ukraine on Standard One’s New Phase: Transitioning to a Full-Cycle Developer Format

Forbes released a BrandVoice feature highlighting Standard One and its role in the professional rental property market in Ukraine. The story details how the company was the first to introduce the build-to-rent segment to the local market and why this direction is gaining popularity among investors.

Standard One designs income properties specifically for rent: with well-planned engineering, services, and management. This approach ensures stable tenant demand and a clear return model for investors.

“Income-producing property is no longer a niche tool. It is the answer to the new realities of city living, a major transformation of the housing market. The managed rental model will become the foundation for new living standards with predictable income for the investor and quality service for the tenant,” – emphasizes Nadiya Rybakova, Commercial Director at Standard One.

Forbes emphasizes that the company thinks beyond just construction to how the building will operate daily over many years. That is why Standard One anticipates tenant and investor needs at the design stage, creating minimalist architecture that is easy to update, professional equipment, and thoughtful infrastructure — from lobbies and coworking spaces to car-free courtyards. Building management and daily services are handled by the in-house property management company S1 Property to create comfort for residents and relieve investors of all operational processes.

“We think like an operator. At the sketch stage, we determine how the building will function: what services residents need and how daily processes — from delivery to cleaning will happen,” – explains Oleksandr Ovcharenko, co-owner of Standard One.

The special project also covers the development of the S1 REIT investment arm, which allowed private investors to enter the income property market with small investments and earn passive income without involvement in operations.

The article provides more detail on Standard One’s new development stage and the company’s transition to a full-cycle developer model with its own property management ecosystem.
