NEXT Collection Batumi: 765-Apartment Green Cape Guide (2026)

NEXT Collection Batumi is a residential project of 765 apartments in three blocks at Green Cape on the Black Sea coast, which the developer NEXT presents as a residential resort next to a botanical garden, with studios from $80,000 and a payment plan of a 10% first payment, 40% in instalments and 50% dated June 2028.

This guide reads the developer’s project page as it stood on 8 November 2026, adds sourced context on Green Cape, Batumi and buying in Georgia, and marks every point where the page prints two values or none. Prices are shown in US dollars as printed; calculated figures say so.

Overview of NEXT Collection Batumi

The developer’s project page describes NEXT Collection Batumi as a modern residential resort on the Black Sea coast, next to a botanical garden, with natural shapes, quality materials and a soft colour palette. It places the building in Green Cape, tags it ’50 metres from the sea’ and elsewhere calls the site directly on the coastline near the garden.

The page lists 765 apartments, 3 blocks and 13 elevators, in a cascading building form. It prints no number of floors and no street address. Prices are published as ‘from’ figures for four apartment types (studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom), each in two finishing states, and for studios in two views.

Construction is under way: the page embeds a live camera and says buyers can follow progress through regular updates and live cameras. NEXT names SPECTRUM, a design-build firm, as its architecture partner for the project. The page names no hotel operator and no licensed brand, and it sells the units as apartments.

The payment plan on the page is a 10% first payment, 40% in instalments at 0% and 50% dated June 2028. A reservation deposit of $1,000 to $3,000 holds a unit for one week, or up to one month. The page also lists rental-return and price-growth projections; this guide does not repeat them, and the terms of any rental arrangement would be set out in the sale documents.

Unit types, sizes and prices

The page shows three layout cards (studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom), a separate ‘Size of units per type’ list and a hero price panel that adds a three-bedroom. The two size sources do not use the same ranges, so both are printed below and neither is adjusted.

The hero panel has four price sets, switched by view (mountain or sea) and by renovation (included or not included). Only the studio price changes with the view; the other three types show the same figure for both views.

The next table pairs each card’s smallest and largest unit with the price printed on the same card, so a rate per square metre can be calculated. It is not calculated for the three-bedroom, because the page prints no size for it, nor from the separate size list, whose ranges are not tied to prices.

Read across the cards, the rate per square metre at the entry unit rises with the number of bedrooms: $2,319 for the studio, $2,948 for the one-bedroom (+27.1%) and $3,124 for the two-bedroom (+6.0%). Inside each type the range is narrow: the largest studio is priced at $2,556 per square metre, only 10.2% above the smallest, and the one-bedroom range moves by 1.6%.

The step between types is also visible in totals. The one-bedroom entry price of $145,328 is 1.82 times the studio entry price while its card area is 1.43 times larger, and the two-bedroom entry price of $399,900 is 2.75 times the one-bedroom price for 2.60 times the area. The three-bedroom price of $455,715 is $55,815 above the two-bedroom entry price; as the page gives no area for the three-bedroom, the table cannot say how its size compares.

For scale, the Batumi price guide on this site quotes a 2025 average turnkey price of $1,865 per square metre from Galt & Taggart, with Old Batumi above $3,000 and peripheral zones below $1,500 (see the guide to Batumi apartment prices per square metre). The card rates above are 24%, 58% and 68% higher than that average, but the comparison is arithmetic only: the average is for turnkey units across the city, while the project prices here are per the developer’s page and depend on the renovation state.

On the studio the two choices are of similar size: the sea view adds $23,000 to the mountain-view price and the renovation adds $21,172. On the larger types renovation is the only difference, at $40,000 for the one-bedroom, $75,000 for the two-bedroom and $143,910 for the three-bedroom. The page does not itemise what the renovation state contains, so the sale agreement and its specification annex are where the finish is defined.

Building configuration and facilities as printed

The engineering and facilities lists are the developer’s wording, shortened. Quality and energy-saving percentages on the page are not repeated, because the page gives no test basis for them.

Location of NEXT Collection Batumi: Green Cape and the Botanical Garden

Green Cape, also written Mtsvane Kontskhi, is a coastal area outside Batumi. The tourism portal GoBatumi, which carries the pages of the Department of Tourism and Resorts of the Adjara Autonomous Republic (a governmental body, per its department page), states that Green Cape lies 9 km outside Batumi and that the area is 70 to 92 metres above sea level. It adds that Batumi Botanical Garden lies within the Green Cape setting.

The Adjara tourism site Visit Adjara gives the same distance for the garden itself, 9 km from Batumi, and lists opening hours of 09:00 to 20:00 together with designated camping and picnic areas in the Seaside Park and the Caucasian and American departments. These are facts about the garden, not about the project, and they are quoted only to place the site.

The developer’s own figures are shorter: 3 minutes to Batumi Botanical Garden, 20 minutes to the city centre and 50 metres to the sea. The page does not say whether the minutes are by car or on foot, at what time of day, or to which point in the centre. It prints no map, no coordinates and no plot address, so a buyer who wants a precise position needs the cadastral code of the plot from the sale documents.

The page prices studios by sea view or mountain view but does not state which floors or blocks have which view, so the view named in a price set should be tied to a specific unit in the contract.

A time without a stated mode or route cannot be converted into a distance, so the table keeps the developer’s minutes and the tourism sites’ kilometres apart instead of merging them. The Green Cape page on GoBatumi also gives spring, summer and autumn as its suggested seasons to visit, which matters for anyone planning to use a seaside apartment in winter: the same portal gives a mild winter and a winter low of about 5 °C on the coast.

Mountain Adjara is a separate part of the region. The GoBatumi seasonality page names the Gomarduli and Goderdzi ski resorts there, in the mountains, so a reference to Adjara in marketing material does not by itself say whether a place is seaside or highland. Green Cape is on the coast, and the developer’s reference points are the sea and the garden.

For Batumi as a whole, the National Statistics Office of Georgia publishes population as of 1 January in its population tables. The Batumi municipality row shows 246.3 thousand people on 1 January 2026 and 236.8 thousand a year earlier; the Adjara Autonomous Republic row shows 413.2 and 404.1 thousand; Georgia as a whole shows 3,941.1 and 3,930.4 thousand.

The same Geostat file lists 183.2 thousand for Batumi on 1 January 2024, so the series steps up between 2024 and 2025; the file does not explain the step, and the Office’s 2024 census site is the place to check the basis before any year-on-year comparison.

On climate, the GoBatumi weather and seasonality page calls Adjara’s climate subtropical, with mild winters and hot summers, and gives an average winter low of 5 °C on the Adjara coast. It lists Kvariati, Sarpi, Gonio, Chakvi and Kobuleti among the region’s resort towns. Three of them have NEXT projects on this site: NEXT Gardens in Kvariati, Radisson Blu Apartments in Gonio and Kobuleti Beach Resort.

Two other listings on this site are described by their own developers as near the same garden: Mardi Hills (an elevated site a short drive from central Batumi) and Mardi Aquapark (about 5 minutes to the garden, per its developer). They are separate projects by a different developer; the city guide at Batumi on this site lists every Batumi listing.

The 10/40/50 payment schedule and the Adjara building context

The developer’s payment panels read the same way in all four price sets: a 10% first payment, 40% in instalments at 0%, and 50% in June 2028. The page prints no amounts, no number of instalments, no start date and no payment currency; its general statement says a 0% instalment plan runs from 12 up to 45 months, depending on the project and the handover date.

Two dates appear on the page. The text block says the project will be fully completed in December 2027, and the final 50% payment is dated June 2028. The page does not relate the two, so the sale agreement, which fixes the handover date and the payment dates together, is the document that settles which comes first for a given unit.

The table applies the three percentages to each published ‘from’ price. The amounts are calculated from the developer’s figures; the page itself prints only the percentages.

Because the instalment count is not printed, a cash-flow figure needs an assumption. The next table is an illustration only, not the developer’s schedule: it divides the 40% block into equal monthly payments over 12 months and over 18 months (December 2026 to May 2028), the latter ending the month before the June 2028 payment.

The first payment ranges from $8,000, for the mountain-view studio, to $59,963, for the renovated three-bedroom, and the final 50% payment from $40,000 to $299,813 (both calculated).

The instalment block is the largest unknown. June 2028 is 19 months after November 2026, so any instalment block that ends before the final payment is shorter than 19 months for a buyer who reserves this month, whereas the developer’s general range for 0% plans runs up to 45 months. The page does not print the length for this project, and it is the first thing to ask.

One detail helps: the purchase steps on the page say payments are made monthly or quarterly, so the illustration above, which uses monthly payments, is one of two frequencies the developer names. The page also offers a live camera and regular updates for following construction, but it ties no payment to a construction stage, so the schedule runs on dates and percentages alone.

Two points follow from the arithmetic. First, the first payment plus the instalment block makes 50% of the price before the June 2028 date, so if the instalments are complete before June 2028, half of the price has been paid by then under the schedule as printed. Second, the reservation deposit of $1,000 to $3,000 is described separately on the page; whether it counts toward the 10% first payment is a question for the reservation form.

After the last payment the page describes one further step: the buyer becomes the official owner within one business day after construction is completed and full payment is made. The registry fee for that step is published by the National Agency of Public Registry, as the next section sets out, and the registered right is what the Civil Code treats as ownership.

Checklist: reading the schedule before paying

1. Ask for the unit number, floor, area and finish state in writing, so the price set above is tied to one apartment.
2. Ask for the currency of each instalment and the exchange-rate clause, if any; the page prints dollar figures only.
3. Ask for the dated list of instalments, with amounts, that sums to 40%, and the account each one goes to.
4. Ask which date the contract treats as handover, December 2027 or a date tied to the June 2028 payment.
5. Ask what happens to payments if either date moves, and who bears the registration fees.
6. Ask for the registry step the developer proposes during construction, discussed in the next section.

The area facts complete the picture. Geostat publishes construction permits and completed objects for Adjara, and its construction statistics page gives the figures below (declared data, updated 30 October 2026). They cover all building types in the whole region, not apartments in Green Cape, and permits granted in a year are not the buildings completed in that year.

For proportion, Geostat’s national totals in the same file are 11,397,190 m² permitted and 3,509,126 m² completed in 2025, and 8,654,772 m² permitted and 2,543,645 m² completed in January to September 2026. Adjara’s share of permitted space is therefore 16.8% for 2025 and 19.2% for the first nine months of 2026, and its share of completed space is 11.0% and 19.4% (all calculated).

The table shows that permitted space in the region more than doubled between 2023 and 2024 and stayed high in 2025, while completed space moved between 146,241 and 492,770 square metres over the period. Both columns are the statistics office’s declared data. For a buyer the use is context: a building under construction sits in a region where many other buildings are at different stages, which is why a project’s own permit and registry record matter more than any regional figure.

Buying in Georgia: the registry first, the payments second

Georgian property law starts from the registry. Article 312 of the Civil Code presumes the contents of the Public Registry accurate until proved incorrect, and an entry in the transferor’s name is treated as accurate in favour of an acquirer who does not know it is wrong. A registry extract is therefore the reference document for who owns the land, whether a mortgage exists and whether any other right is recorded.

Title to a unit passes by written transaction plus registration. Article 183 requires a written transaction and registration of the acquirer’s ownership right in the Public Registry, and Article 311-1 says the transaction or the parties’ signatures are authenticated as the law lays down, with no separate authentication needed when the parties sign in front of an authorised person at the registration authority.

For an unfinished building, two further provisions matter. Article 327(3) allows a contract to create an obligation to conclude a future contract, in the form the main contract requires, which is the legal shape of a preliminary purchase agreement. Article 12 of the Law on the Public Registry allows a right to be pre-registered on the parties’ agreement, which rules out registering any other right to the property unless the parties agree otherwise.

The developer’s page describes the same sequence in plain words: sign the preliminary agreement, register the future ownership with the Public Registry, pay the reservation deposit, make payments, and become the owner within one business day after completion and full payment. It does not say whether the registered right is a pre-registration under Article 12; the preliminary agreement should state it.

The registry’s fees are published by the National Agency of Public Registry. Registration of a change in an immovable property right costs GEL 150 in four working days, GEL 270 in one working day and GEL 350 on the day of filing; at the National Bank rate of USD 1 = GEL 2.5949 (valid from 7 November 2026) that is about $58, $104 and $135. Confirming the parties’ signatures is GEL 7.

An extract costs GEL 20 for one working day and GEL 13 through the internet, plus GEL 26 if it is requested in English, per the informational services page. The agency also offers registration online through a smart-contract service with a virtual meeting booked in advance, and a buyer signing abroad usually needs foreign documents recognised in Georgia, which the Hague Apostille Convention covers: it has been in force for Georgia since 14 May 2007.

The guides on this site on off-plan property in Batumi and on buying property in Georgia from abroad take the same steps in more detail.

Residence, taxes and financing for a foreign buyer

Residence comes first because the page itself raises it. The developer’s text says a residence permit through real estate has a minimum amount ‘from $150,000 starting March 1, 2026’. The Public Service Development Agency states the rule differently: a short-term residence permit goes to an alien holding title to immovable property, other than agricultural land, whose market value exceeds USD 150,000 equivalent in GEL, with the value set by a certified assessor of an accredited body (sda.gov.ge; Law on the Legal Status of Aliens).

At USD 1 = GEL 2.5949, USD 150,000 is about GEL 389,235. The permit test uses the assessor’s market value, not the contract price, and it refers to title, so how it applies to a unit that is still under construction is a question for the Agency. The table sets the published prices against the threshold factually.

The investment residence permit has a separate test: property other than agricultural land with a market value exceeding USD 300,000 equivalent in GEL, again set by a certified assessor. The two-bedroom and three-bedroom prices are above that figure; the same caveat about assessor value applies. The official fee for the short-term permit is GEL 300, 450 or 600, depending on whether it is processed by the 30th, 20th or 10th calendar day.

Taxes follow the Tax Code. For rent, Article 81(2) taxes the income of an individual who lets out residential space for residential purposes at 5% when no deductions are made, and the general 20% rate applies otherwise; the guide on short-term rental in Batumi covers holiday lets. A sale gives rise to a surplus taxed at 5% under Article 81(3), and Article 82(1)(f.a) exempts the surplus on a residential apartment owned for more than two years.

Property tax is a local tax on a natural person’s real estate, including unfinished construction under Article 201. Article 202(5) sets 0.8% to 1% of market value at the end of the previous year, and Article 206(1)(a) exempts a person whose family income in the previous year did not exceed GEL 100,000, about $38,537. The Revenue Service publishes the return form, due by 1 November, with payment by 15 November. The property-tax guide explains the 30 September 2026 amendment of these two provisions.

On financing, the page publishes no mortgage arrangement. The National Bank of Georgia sets loan-to-value limits of 90% for lari loans and 70% for foreign-currency loans, with payment-to-income limits by income band, on its PTI and LTV page. Whether a bank lends to a non-resident against an unfinished unit is that bank’s policy; the mortgage guide describes the practice. An apartment is not agricultural land, so the agricultural land ownership law does not restrict a foreign buyer here.

What to prepare when reserving

1. The reservation form, a passport copy and the identity documents the developer asks for.
2. The full legal name and registration details of the contracting entity, which the developer’s site does not name; the sale agreement states it.
3. The preliminary purchase agreement, with the unit, area, finish state, completion date and the consequence of a delay.
4. The payment schedule with amounts, dates, currency and account details for every instalment.
5. A Public Registry extract for the plot and, once registered, for the unit.
6. The construction permit and the specification annex that defines the finish.
7. The service-charge schedule for the building and the beach, pools and other facilities.
8. If signing remotely, a power of attorney or another foreign document, apostilled for use in Georgia.

How NEXT Collection Batumi compares with the other NEXT projects

This site carries thirteen NEXT projects, twelve of them besides this one. The table gives each project’s city or area, the status or handover the developer’s own page prints, the unit types and the published starting price, in the unit and finish state named in the last column. Handover dates are the headline dates; pages may print another date elsewhere.

The range is wide. Among the five Batumi-area projects (Address, Gardens, Magnolia, this one and DownTown) the published starting prices run from $49,000 to $161,460, and this project is listed at $80,000, the second-largest of the five. The prices are for different unit types and finish states, so the table compares what each page prints, not like-for-like apartments.

One point separates this project from the other Batumi-area pages in the table: this project is the only one that prints a three-bedroom price. Two siblings in Gonio, Radisson Blu Apartments and Wyndham Residence, list furnished studios as their entry price, while Address, Gardens, Magnolia and this project show a with-or-without renovation choice and DownTown is offered as a white box.

Other Georgian listings on this site give context. Mira Verde Tbilisi is a Tbilisi Hills community by another developer with prices in dirhams (a studio from AED 724,208) and a Q3 2029 handover. Mardi Hills shows a $45,276 entry price for a 26.95 m² unit, and Mardi Aquapark shows studios from 28 m² from €72,000, both as stated on their listing pages. For the whole Georgian picture see Georgia on this site and the Black Sea coast guide. No project here is presented as better than another.

NEXT, the developer

The developer’s about page describes NEXT as an international developer from Georgia, founded by Kakha Devadze in Batumi, with projects in Georgia, the United Arab Emirates, Kenya, Spain and Zanzibar. Its home page gives 8 years in real estate development.

The company history on the about page dates the first project, NEXT Orange, in Batumi, and lists NEXT Apartments, NEXT Green and NEXT White from 2018, Wyndham Residences and Villa Park from 2020, Radisson Blu Residences and NEXT Collection in 2021, NEXT Address, NEXT Coral and NEXT Gardens in 2022, NEXT Amani in Kenya in 2023, and Tbilisi Oriental and Villa Perla in Marbella in 2024. For this project the history entry is a timeline mention, not a construction start date.

The site lists offices in Batumi, Tbilisi, Dubai and Warsaw, and one in Tatu City, Kenya. It names Radisson Hotel Group and Wyndham Hotels & Resorts as partners for two other projects, and SPECTRUM as the design-build partner for this one. The pages also mention international awards; they are not repeated here.

The developer’s pages are the source for every statement in this section. A buyer who wants to check the company’s track record would ask the developer for the completion record of its earlier projects.

Frequently asked questions

What is NEXT Collection Batumi?

NEXT Collection Batumi is a residential project of 765 apartments in three blocks at Green Cape, on the Black Sea coast outside central Batumi, developed by NEXT. The developer’s page describes a residential resort next to a botanical garden, with a private beach for residents and guests, outdoor and rooftop pools, a fitness centre and 24-hour reception and security. Studios, one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms have layout cards, and a three-bedroom price is shown. The page is the source; the project is under construction.

Where is NEXT Collection Batumi and how far is the centre of Batumi?

The developer places the project in Green Cape, 3 minutes from Batumi Botanical Garden and 20 minutes from the city centre, and 50 metres from the sea; it does not state the transport mode. Two Adjara tourism sites, GoBatumi and Visit Adjara, give 9 km between Batumi and Green Cape or the garden. The page prints no street address or map pin, so the plot’s cadastral code should come with the sale documents.

What price does the developer publish?

The lowest published price is $80,000 for a studio of 34.5 m² with a mountain view and no renovation, seen on 8 November 2026. The same studio with a sea view is $103,000, and with renovation $101,172 (mountain) or $129,168 (sea). The one-bedroom starts at $145,328, the two-bedroom at $399,900 and the three-bedroom at $455,715, all without renovation; renovation adds between $40,000 and $143,910 on those three.

What are the unit sizes?

The layout cards show studios of 34.5 to 45.2 m², one-bedrooms of 49.3 to 65 m² and two-bedrooms of 128 to 203 m². A separate list on the same page gives 24 to 48 m² for studios, 35 to 60 m² for one-bedrooms and 55 to 125 m² for two-bedrooms. The page prints no size for the three-bedroom. The size in the sale agreement is the one that counts for a specific unit.

When is completion?

The page text says the project will be fully completed in December 2027, and its payment panels date the final 50% payment to June 2028. The page does not link the two dates. The preliminary agreement should state the handover date in writing, with the consequence of a delay, because that clause sets the buyer’s position whichever date the page emphasises.

How does the payment plan of NEXT Collection Batumi work?

The developer prints a 10% first payment, 40% in instalments at 0% and 50% in June 2028. The page gives no instalment count; its general statement says 0% plans run from 12 up to 45 months depending on the project. Applied to the $80,000 studio, the percentages are $8,000, $32,000 and $40,000 (calculated). A reservation deposit of $1,000 to $3,000 holds a unit for one week to one month.

Can a foreigner buy an apartment in Batumi?

The Organic Law on Agricultural Land Ownership restricts agricultural land, and an apartment is not agricultural land. Ownership passes by a written transaction and registration in the Public Registry under Civil Code Article 183. The guide on whether foreigners can buy property in Georgia gives the general position, and the developer’s page says buyers register with the Public Registry. A preliminary agreement is recognised in law, but title passes only on registration, so the registry extract is the document to rely on.

Does an apartment at NEXT Collection Batumi qualify for a residence permit?

The Public Service Development Agency grants a short-term residence permit for property other than agricultural land with a market value exceeding USD 150,000 equivalent in GEL, set by a certified assessor. The studio and entry one-bedroom prices are below USD 150,000, while renovated one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom prices are above it. The assessor’s value decides, not the contract price; the residence-permit guide gives the process.

Which taxes and fees can a foreign owner face?

Property tax is 0.8% to 1% of market value, with an exemption when the previous year’s family income was up to GEL 100,000. Residential rent is taxed at 5% if no deductions are made, and the surplus on a sale at 5%, exempt for an apartment owned over two years. Registering a change of right costs GEL 150, 270 or 350 depending on speed. The Tax Code and the registry’s fee page are the sources.

What facilities and building specifications are published?

The page lists a private beach, outdoor and rooftop pools, a fitness centre, restaurants and bars, a library with co-working space, a conference hall, a pharmacy, a kids zone, parking and 24-hour reception and security. It names Daikin VRF air conditioning, Geberit sanitary ware and Schuco windows, and gives ceiling heights of 3.60 m in apartments. The page does not publish service charges or the finish content.
