GORO Development launches an investment club and forms a community of strategic investors

On October 1, GORO Development, part of OKKO Group, announced the start of sales for investment lots in the second hotel of the all-season mountain resort GORO Mountain Resort, located near the village of Volosianka in the Slavske community, Lviv region

The ONDE Business hotel, featuring 116 rooms, is designed for business travelers and corporate tourism. It will include a conference hall, meeting rooms, and a modern coworking space. Construction has already begun following the receipt of all necessary permits. The launch marks the next step in the development of the resort’s hotel infrastructure, which envisions the construction of 25 hotels with a total of 5,150 rooms.

“ONDE Business is a response to the growing demand for business tourism in the Carpathians. It’s not just a hotel, but a functional space for conferences, meetings, and networking in a mountain setting. The format allows guests to combine remote work with relaxation in nature — a concept often referred to as workation,” explained Volodymyr Harazd, CEO of GORO Mountain Resort and GORO Development.

ONDE Business is the second of three themed hotels within the ONDE complex. Sales of the first — ONDE Active, with 197 rooms oriented toward active leisure and entertainment — began in February 2025. In just eight months, 63% of the room stock was sold, confirming investors’ strong trust in GORO Development as a developer and their keen interest in the co-ownership model of the resort’s hotel business. Sales of the third hotel, ONDE Chill, with 113 rooms, are planned for 2026. The project will include a 2,000 sq. m SPA & wellness area with a 40-meter infinity pool, fitness and yoga studios, and other relaxation zones.

Simultaneously with the launch of ONDE Business sales, the company officially announced the creation of its own investment club — GORO Invest Club, a platform for private investors in the hotel business who wish to participate in the resort’s development. More than 80 members have already joined the community, most of whom are entrepreneurs and top managers from Ukraine and the Ukrainian diaspora.

The geography of GORO Invest Club investors is concentrated mainly in Kyiv, Lviv, and Dnipro, as well as among representatives of the Ukrainian diaspora abroad. By industry, the largest groups of participants work in IT and telecommunications (19.7%), agriculture (12%), finance and investments (11.8%), and construction and real estate (9.2%). They view ONDE not only as a tool for asset diversification, but also as a reliable source of stable passive income and a means of building long-term family capital.

As part of the event, the company announced a closed presale of investment lots for ONDE Business, followed by open sales on October 2.

Club members enjoy several key advantages: early access to projects, exclusive investment terms, expert support, direct communication with management and international consultants, and in the future — participation in a loyalty program providing permanent benefits for the resort’s services and attractions.

“Throughout the history of the OKKO Group, we’ve launched dozens of businesses with a limited circle of strategic partners. But GORO is a new experience — a qualitatively different business model that requires a higher level of transparency and responsibility,” noted Vasyl Danylyak, Co-Founder of GORO Mountain Resort and GORO Development, and CEO of OKKO Group.

According to Danylyak, GORO will become the largest construction project in the Lviv region since the building of the airport and Arena Lviv stadium for Euro 2012. According to the plan, the gondola cable car and the first two ski slopes will open during the 2026/2027 winter season, while the first group of hotels will be commissioned by late summer 2028.

The first development phase of GORO, covering 127 hectares, commenced near the village of Volosyanka, located 5 km from Slavske in the Lviv region. This phase includes 10 ski trails totalling 13 km with 50 hectares of snowmaking, the longest gondola lift (2.8 km), and two modern chairlifts, each 1.5 km long.
