Memories of Podil and its stone buildings can be found in the “Tale of Igor’s Campaign”, and during the times of Kyivan Rus its quarters served as a trade and craft center of Kyiv.
The center of Podil was the marketplace – the modern Kontraktova Square.

From the middle of the XIII century until 1811 Podil was the actual center of Kyiv. The Magistrate, the Kyiv Brotherhood, the Kyiv Academy and other citywide facilities were located here.
However, in 1811 there was a fire that changed the appearance of the area – most of the buildings burned down.
After the fire, the restoration of Podil began. Streets were laid, which have survived to this day. It was after the fire that the construction of Hospitnyi Dvir began.

And now add to this work, offices – and we get the Illinsky business center.

On the site of Ilyinsky there were several workshops for sewing clothes, on the basis of which in 1919 the Kyiv-Odizh garment factory was created, and in 1932 it was renamed to the Smirnov-Lastochkin garment factory. After privatization, the factory (OJSC “Lastochka”) was engaged in sewing school uniforms, as well as manufacturing clothes under license from HUGO BOSS and Dolce & Gabbana.

In 2003, the factory was bought out, and a large renovation began to transform the factory into a modern building of the Illinsky Business Center. To pay tribute to the history, the legal name was left – LLC “Lastivka LTD”.

Illinsky is a business center that has its own history, its own spirit and its own energy.
