Central Universal Department Store, Art Deco department store in Khreshchatyk, Ukraine
The Central Universal Department Store spans eight floors in a prominent location at the intersection of Bohdan Khmelnytsky and Khreshchatyk streets in Kyiv.
Built between 1936 and 1939 by architect Daniil Fridman, the store operated until 1941 when the World War II occupation of Kyiv began.
The building stands as an architectural heritage monument of Ukraine, representing the Art Deco style of the late 1930s Soviet construction period.
The department store contains retail spaces across eight levels, offering international brands, Ukrainian designer collections, beauty products, and entertainment facilities.
In the 1960s, this department store became one of the first buildings in Ukraine to install escalators, serving up to 170,000 customers daily.
