GREENBOR combines private ownership of a home and land plot with resident-led management of shared infrastructure through the registered service cooperative ОК «Грінбор».
This page explains how the community is organised today, what is still planned, and how everything will function after the project is fully completed.
1. Private home ownership and cooperative infrastructure
Each owner holds private title to a specific house and a formed land plot with an individual cadastral number. By purchasing a home at GREENBOR and joining ОК «Грінбор», the owner receives:
- the right to use the integrated engineering and architectural complex and the shared territory of the community;
- the right to participate in the governance of the cooperative’s property and to vote at the General Meeting;
- the ability to oversee the quality of network maintenance and to take part in decisions on the further development of the community.
Private ownership of the house and land plot is clearly separated from the infrastructure legally owned by the cooperative. Each household receives the right to use this infrastructure and an equal vote in decisions concerning its operation and development.
2. Cooperative membership and the voting principle
Cooperative membership is voluntary under Ukrainian law. However, the owners of the completed duplexes sell them only to a buyer who accepts the cooperative model, has reviewed the Statute and the rules of good neighbourliness, submits a membership application and pays the established targeted infrastructure contribution. Membership is formalised by a written application and a decision of the competent body of the cooperative.
GREENBOR applies a transparent governance principle: “one household — one vote” (a maximum of 20 votes in the community). At the General Meeting the cooperative members collectively approve:
- the annual budget (estimate) and the amount of contributions for infrastructure maintenance;
- the rules for the use of the shared territory, playgrounds and recreation areas;
- plans for repair works, modernisation and technical maintenance of the networks.
If a house is owned by several persons, they jointly designate one representative for voting.
3. Transparency, accountability and protection of assets
GREENBOR is oriented toward the principles of modern residential communities: a transparent budget, financial reporting, owner voting and a clear division between private and shared responsibility.
The principal advantage of the model: in a community of 20 households there is no outside private owner of the road or engineering networks. The infrastructure is the indivisible property of ОК «Грінбор», while cooperative members exercise governance through the General Meeting on the principle “one household — one vote”.
4. What the targeted infrastructure contribution (USD 6,000 equivalent) finances
The targeted infrastructure contribution to ОК «Грінбор» (the UAH equivalent of USD 6,000) is used exclusively for the creation, maintenance, landscaping and development of the community’s shared infrastructure. The contribution is not part of the house or land price and is paid by bank transfer directly to the cooperative’s account as part of the acquisition process.
Below is the full list of what this contribution finances and what is already operating or will be implemented.
Entrances, gates and access control
Already operating: the main vehicular entrance with automatic gates, a separate pedestrian gate with a GSM module and mobile-app control, remote controls. The gates have a mechanical emergency unlock.
Planned: a second vehicular entrance and a second pedestrian gate together with Phase 2.
Internal road and driveways
Already operating: the exterior approach is fully asphalt-paved and lit. The internal road is being arranged in stages.
Planned: full surfacing of the internal road, quality surface-water drainage, regular maintenance (cleaning, winter clearing).
Lighting and video surveillance
Already operating: two video-surveillance cameras, lighting of the exterior approach.
Planned: full internal lighting, expanded video surveillance covering both entrances, gates and the outer perimeter with an archive of at least two weeks.
Water supply
Already operating: two own artesian wells. A separate domestic-water line (with two levels of metering) and a separate technical-water line for irrigation have been laid to each house.
Planned: a third well together with Phase 2.
On-site wastewater management
Already operating: a centralised shared on-site wastewater management system. For the four duplexes — 36 m³ (four tanks of 9 m³ each); for the five residential units of the townhouse — 45 m³ (five tanks of 9 m³ each). Servicing is carried out from the external technical access route so that service vehicles do not enter the residential area. Rainwater is drained separately.
Backup power for critical infrastructure
Planned: centralised backup power (inverter + batteries + generator) for the gates, well pumps, access systems and other critical elements so that they continue to operate during power outages.
Walking route
Planned: a closed, lit pedestrian route approximately 200 metres long. The route will run along the central road, behind the townhouses, under the trees, past the gazebo and the children’s playground. It allows walking, running or using a stroller without leaving the community.
Gazebo and recreation area
Planned: a shared gazebo with a barbecue area for family and neighbourly recreation.
Children’s playground and fitness area
Planned: a safe children’s playground and a street-workout / horizontal-bar area for active recreation.
Shelter
Planned: a specially equipped underground shelter with an approximate area of about 90 m² for the residents of the community. It will be located on the shared territory.
Utility block and waste-collection area
Already operating: a permanent waste-collection area near the outer perimeter. The waste-collection vehicle does not enter the internal residential part.
Planned: a utility block for tools and territory maintenance.
Existing listed elements legally belong to ОК «Грінбор» as indivisible property. Future infrastructure assets will be transferred to the cooperative after completion and legal registration. The infrastructure is maintained from the targeted and operating contributions of cooperative members. Decisions on development priorities, repairs and additional landscaping are taken by the General Meeting according to the principle “20 households — 20 votes”.
5. How everything works today (Phase 1)
- four completed duplexes have been commissioned and are available for sale;
- the townhouse with five residential units is under construction and is available for viewing plus free reservation;
- the main entrance, gates, pedestrian gate, GSM access and mobile application are operating;
- two wells, individual water and electricity metering, and the on-site wastewater management system are operating;
- the waste-collection area has been built;
- optical internet has been brought to the site;
- the exterior approach is asphalt-paved and lit.
6. How everything will work after full completion
After the commissioning of Phase 2 and all landscaping objects:
- all 20 households will have an equal vote;
- three wells + a complete on-site wastewater management system;
- two entrances with pedestrian gates;
- full lighting + expanded video surveillance;
- backup power for critical infrastructure;
- a 200 m walking route, gazebo, children’s playground, street-workout area and shelter;
- centralised maintenance of all shared property through ОК «Грінбор» with a transparent budget.
7. Frequently asked practical questions
Who owns the road, the wells and the gates?
The service cooperative ОК «Грінбор». No private owner can restrict access to them.
Can I refuse to pay the shared costs?
No. Participation in the costs is a mandatory condition of membership and residence in the community.
Who decides how much to pay for maintenance?
The General Meeting of cooperative members (20 votes) approves the budget.
Can I install a high solid fence in front of the house?
No. The open-façade concept and the community rules do not permit solid fences that block the road, views or access to engineering networks in the shared front area.
