Less efficient spatial planning, fewer windows and slightly lower safety requirements are allowed compared to A +.

Class B offices have almost the same characteristics as Class A offices, but do not reach their level. In contrast to category A, this includes business centers in Kyiv, where the rent of premises is not intended for entertainment purposes. Although the difference between them is not fundamental, such business real estate is less prestigious, and the demand for this category of offices is mostly Ukrainian companies, choosing inexpensive but high-quality maintenance of premises, or large organizations to accommodate the bulk of their employees.
Such office centers in Kyiv, unlike higher-class buildings, can be located at some distance from the city center, but always in a prestigious business district. As a rule, these are not newly built buildings, but overhauled, with a presentable renovated facade and high-quality interior decoration, but without exclusivity. Most often, this category includes completely renovated and converted mansions, formerly of cultural value, or class A office real estate after five to eight years of operation.
