On Proskurivska Street in Hostomel, one of the two seven-storey buildings going up on the site of a quarter destroyed by russian troops has reached the sixth floor.

This was reported by the State Agency for Restoration and Infrastructure Development.

In building No. 2, workers are installing formwork and reinforcing the floor slabs of the fifth and sixth floors, while aerated-block walls are going up on the fourth floor of the first section. In building No. 3, aerated-block walls are being laid at fourth-floor level in the second section.

The foundations, basement waterproofing and brick basement walls of both buildings have already been fully completed, the agency says.

What about the shelter

A dual-purpose radiation shelter covering more than 2,300 square metres is also being built in the quarter. It is designed for 1,212 people.

The shelter’s vertical structures are already 60% complete. Specialists are now installing formwork, reinforcing walls, laying roof slabs and backfilling the structure with soil.

In peacetime the space will work as a modern sports complex, and in times of danger it will protect local residents, the agency explains.

How many flats there will be

The project has six phases and 360 flats in total. Work is now under way on the first and second phases, which means two buildings with 144 flats.

Flats in the first two phases will go first of all to families who lived in this quarter before the full-scale invasion, the Kyiv Regional Military Administration said earlier.

As a reminder, in early October the actual construction progress of the complex was estimated at about 20%.
