An Israeli company has recently purchased a 2.6 acre lot in Kiev on which it plans to build a shopping mall. Engel Europe is reportedly going to build a portfolio of at least ten malls in Ukraine and then float its Ukrainian business on a European exchange, perhaps the London Stock Exchange.

Engel Europe is also negotiating to build malls in Volgograd in Russia and in the Belarusian capital of Minsk.
