They visited the construction site, spoke with representatives of the general contractor, and project managers for “Construction of residential buildings for the accommodation of military personnel in Lviv”.

We are looking forward to continuing our good cooperation with the municipal team through this contribution from the European Union to the Unbroken ecosystem”, commented Chloé Allio, Head of Operations Section “Economic Cooperation, Energy, Infrastructure and Environment” of the EU Delegation to Ukraine.
Having obtained all the planning permissions to start construction, the city immediately commenced the work. At the beginning of November, the LLC “Construction Company Progressbud” was chosen as the general contractor responsible for the construction of the social housing.
“The first building is expected to be completed by May 2024. We maintain constant communication with our European colleagues to ensure that all standards and rules set by our partners are met. We emphasize that these buildings will be fully inclusive so that people with limited mobility can comfortably reside and undergo rehabilitation at the UNBROKEN center, located right next to the construction site,” noted Yuriy Telipskiy, Director of the State-Owned Enterprise “Lviv Inter-Municipal Bureau of Technical Inventory.
