A shopping centre’s authority does not begin with marketing or advertising. It begins far earlier, in the way a market is read. That conviction is the origin of this project.
Who stands behind it
Roksolana Pyrtko is an authority in commercial real estate management and analytics. Her track record brings together three profiles that rarely live in the same person: a chief executive who operates real assets every day, a certified lawyer who understands the wording of every contract, and an analyst who reads the market through data rather than instinct.
As CEO of the Roksolana shopping and leisure centre and of the Spartak sports, retail and entertainment complex, she manages more than 100,000 sq m of retail space that draws close to 7 million visitors a year. These are not brochure figures: they are the daily discipline of tenant mix, rental policy, financial control and visitor experience that keeps a commercial asset performing over time.
On that foundation sit fifteen years of experience in management and commercial real estate, a master’s degree in corporate law and certification as a lawyer. In 2025, the Spartak complex received the Ukrainian Business Award in the category of sports and family entertainment centre of the year, recognising both its management and its retail innovation.
From operation to judgement
Operating a shopping centre for more than a decade teaches something that reports never capture: that a yield is defended through everyday decisions, that an anchor tenant changes the physics of an entire asset, and that vacancy is fought with concept before it is fought with discounts. This operational knowledge is what separates an opinion from a judgement.
That judgement is reinforced by constant reading of international market research —JLL, Knight Frank and the sector’s leading consultancies— to test first-hand experience against global trends in retail, offices and logistics. Authority, here, is not a title: it is the ability to connect a global data point with the reality of one specific street.
The vision for Latin America
Argentina, Uruguay and Panama are three distinct markets that share one moment: the maturing of commercial real estate capital and the arrival of investors who want less noise and more intelligence. Buenos Aires is reordering its rental and office markets; Montevideo and Punta del Este are consolidating their role as a stable haven and a destination for family offices; Panama City weaves together premium retail and a logistics sector tied to the pulse of the Canal.
The vision of this project is simple to state and demanding to deliver: to provide premium, locally-read commercial real estate intelligence on offices, retail and logistics across the region. Not generic notes translated from another market, and not reports that ignore the street. Analysis a decision-maker can put to use on Monday morning.
Locally-read means exactly that: each market is covered with its own regulatory context, its currency, its cycle and its vocabulary. What holds for Puerto Madero does not explain Costa del Este, and what happens in a free zone is not read through the same lens as a logistics corridor. The ambition is not to cover more, but to understand better.
How we understand the work
- Rigour first. No figure is published without a source. Analysis is built on verifiable data and real operating experience, not on impressions.
- Context before conclusion. Every thesis is anchored in a concrete case and in the local framework that explains it: regulation, currency, market cycle.
- Usefulness over noise. The aim is not to be right in the abstract, but to be useful to those making investment and management decisions.
- A long-term perspective. The value of a commercial asset is built over years; analysis must think on that scale, not on the headline of the week.
