Orbi City

Orbi City is Orbi Group's flagship in Batumi - a cluster of towers on Khimshiashvili Street about 150 m from the sea, marketed as the world's largest hotel complex by apartment count. Four buildings are delivered and one is under construction (next handover stated Q3 2026), with developer prices from about $2,500/m2. Verdict: prime location and strong rental demand, but confirm which building you're buying into and the status of the promised shared infrastructure - a recurring buyer complaint.

Residency & costs


Entry units here start around $66,000, below Georgia's $150,000 residency threshold - so an entry studio will not qualify on its own. You would need a larger unit, or several combined, to reach $150,000 in appraised value. Eligibility is judged on appraised market value, not the price you pay - full detail in our residency guide.

Pros

  • Prime seafront location, about 150 m to the beach
  • Strong year-round short-let demand in a top tourist zone
  • Fully furnished units with rental-management on site
  • Low entry price for a compact studio

Cons & risks

  • Buyers report promised shared infrastructure (pools, commercial) delivered late or not at all
  • Entry studios fall below the $150,000 residency threshold
  • Which phased building you buy matters - some are far older than others
  • High-density complex means heavy resale competition from near-identical units

Risks & open questions


Confirm exactly which building (phase) your unit sits in and its real delivered status and infrastructure - not the render. Get the promised amenities and handover date in writing and check the delay-compensation clause before paying a deposit.

FAQ


Is Orbi City residency-eligible?

Only if your unit's appraised value (or several units combined) reaches $150,000. Many Orbi City studios sell below that, so on their own they do not qualify.

Is Orbi City finished?

It is phased: several buildings are delivered and at least one is under construction, with the next handover stated for Q3 2026. Confirm the status of the specific building you are buying.
