On March 8, 2026, the Ars Capital investment fund of entrepreneur Maksym Krippa established sole control over Graal LLC. This company is the main investor in the reconstruction of European Square in Kyiv.
Until recently, Rippy owned only a quarter of the shares of Graal LLC – 24%. Other shares were owned by a number of well-known real estate market players: Igor Nikonov, founder of KAN Development, Ofer Kerzner from City Capital Group, and Oleg Gavrilyak (Terra-Lux), which is confirmed by the YouControl analytical system.
Kripp, after permission from the Antimonopoly Committee, bought out the shares of his partners. Thus, he concentrated in his hands the assets of a company that is to implement a complex development project at 5 Khreshchatyk Street and 4B Hrushevskoho Street.
“After the consolidation of 100% of corporate rights, the investor plans to restart the project and implement an updated concept for the development of the territory, taking into account modern approaches to urban space and architecture,” writes Forbes Ukraine.
In recent years, the entrepreneur has acquired the Parus Business Center, the International Exhibition Center and the Ukraine Hotel on Independence Square. In addition, he is a co-owner of the residential developer DIM.
In general, Krippa is known as an investor in esports and IT projects. Its assets include the NAVİ team, the GSC Game World studio (the developer of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game), as well as the Maincast studio.
With the outbreak of the full-scale war in Ukraine, he founded the MK Foundation.
In 2025, the businessman entered the top 30 richest people in Ukraine for the first time. His fortune was estimated at $ 236 million.
