American investors are very interested in Ukrainian markets, while before, most investors were European, Managing Director of DTZ international consulting company in Ukraine (Kyiv) Nick Cotton has said.

"Now I see a greater interest from America, the situation with investment is changing," he said during the Real Estate Forum in Eastern Europe and Asia in Kyiv.

Cotton said that in 2004-2008, major investments in Ukraine in general, and in the real estate market in particular, mostly came from Europe.

"That is, Americans like news, and there has been a lot of news about Ukraine. I guess this is our opportunity," he said.

DTZ was founded by Chesshire Gibson in Birmingham (Britain) in 1784. Since December 2011, it has been part of UGL Services, a division of UGL Limited.

The company opened an office in Ukraine in 1994 as the country’s first international consulting company. DTZ’s office is located in Kyiv (the company’s office in Odesa has closed).
