Orbi Millennium Batumi: Sources and Prices Guide (2026)
New Boulevard, Batumi, Georgia

Description

Orbi Millennium Batumi is a four-block complex on the New Boulevard of Batumi, at Zghvispiri Street 1A, that Orbi Group presents as a new project combining residential, commercial, recreational and retail space, with apartments offered at the construction stage.

Orbi Millennium Batumi render of the blocks beside the seafront

This guide to Orbi Millennium Batumi reads the developer’s project page, its article and its live-camera page as shown on 9 November 2026, sets them beside two third-party listings, and puts every figure that differs into a table with its source and date. Where the developer’s pages do not print an item, the guide says so in a neutral clause and does not fill the gap.

Overview of Orbi Millennium Batumi

The developer’s project page describes Orbi Millennium as a new project by Orbi Group that combines commercial and residential spaces with recreational, retail, entertainment and leisure facilities. It places the project on the New Boulevard of Batumi’s coastline and counts four blocks, three residential and one commercial. A developer article gives the address as Zghvispiri Street 1A and the distance to the Black Sea as 50 metres.

The project page prints no unit count, no unit sizes, no price list and no handover date. The only price the developer prints is a promotional line in the article: apartments “starting from just $18,750”, with a 12-month in-house instalment plan and an initial payment of $4,000. The article carries the date 09.11.26, which is also the day of this check, so the date may be generated by the site; the offer is read here as “as shown on 9 November 2026”.

The developer’s live-camera page lists Orbi Millennium among its sites with a construction camera, and the project page calls it the last project on the New Boulevard waterfront where property can still be bought at the construction stage. That is the developer’s statement; the pages print no start date and no percentage complete. Two third-party listings print other prices and two different handover months, set out in the third section.

The table gives the key facts exactly as each source prints them.

Unit types, sizes and facilities as printed

A buyer looking for a unit table will not find one on the developer’s pages. The project page lists features and a gallery, and the article refers to apartments without giving a type. The two third-party listings give partial information, which the table below sets side by side without merging it.

Block diagram: Orbi Millennium blocks A, B, C and D (Georgian text)
Source Unit types Sizes Count or availability Other
Developer project page Not printed Not printed Not printed Four blocks; features list
Developer article “Apartments” (type not stated) Not printed Offer “extended for only 250 additional units” Price, plan and initial payment, see section 3
geoln.com listing Apartment building (property type field) “Area from 28.00 m2” Not printed Condition “black walls”; construction type monolith; 29 floors
batumi-property.com (broker page) Studio, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments Not printed “>500 available flats” “Many apartments offer panoramic sea views”

Three points follow from the table. First, the smallest size printed anywhere is 28.00 m2, on the geoln listing, and no source prints a maximum. Second, the only unit types named are the broker’s studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. Third, the 250 units in the article belong to a promotional offer and are not a count of the project; the broker’s figure of more than 500 available flats is likewise a statement about availability and not a total.

The geoln “black walls” entry describes the state of the interior in that listing’s own vocabulary.

Geostat’s residential price release, which covers new homes in Tbilisi only, uses white frame, green frame and black frame as its condition categories; this guide does not map the geoln wording onto them, and what a unit contains at handover is stated in the specification annex of the contract. The developer’s general FAQ says that turnkey apartments are fully finished and furnished but that in some projects owners do the fit-out themselves; it does not say which applies to Orbi Millennium.

The facilities are better documented than the units. The table compares the developer’s feature list with the two listings.

Facility Developer project page geoln batumi-property
Swimming pools Indoor and outdoor pools Pool Panoramic pool and indoor pool
Spa and wellness Spa and wellness center Spa Spa centre and aqua centre
Fitness Fitness club Fitness Fitness centre
Food and retail Cafes, restaurants and retail spaces Restaurant; commercial area; near supermarket Rooftop restaurants, bars and cafes; shopping centre
Business Business spaces and conference halls Not listed Not listed
Outdoor space Recreational and landscaped areas; terraces with panoramic views Not listed Panoramic rooftop terraces
Parking Underground and above-ground parking Underground parking Underground parking
Security and service 24/7 security and concierge service CCTV; reception Gated community
Children Not listed Kids playground Children’s playground; children’s room

The lists overlap on pools, spa, fitness, restaurants and parking. They do not say which facilities sit in which block, whether the pools and spa are reserved for owners and guests or open to the public, when the facilities open, or how their running costs are shared. Those are service-charge and management questions that the sale documents answer, and the list at the end of section 6 includes them.

Price and handover: what each source prints

Orbi Group’s own pages print one price and no handover date for Orbi Millennium. Two third-party listings print a different price each and a handover month each. This guide does not choose between them: each figure is shown with its source, its date where one exists, and the unit it refers to where the source says. Lari values use the National Bank of Georgia official rate of USD 1 = GEL 2.5949, valid from 7 November 2026.

Orbi Millennium Batumi: price per source Figure as printed Unit type or size stated Source date Other terms printed
Developer project page No price Not applicable 9 November 2026 None
Developer article “Apartments starting from just $18,750” (about GEL 48,654) Not stated Printed 09.11.26 12-month in-house instalment plan; initial payment $4,000; offer “extended for only 250 additional units”
geoln.com listing “Apartments in Orbi Millennium from 19320$” (about GEL 50,133); price per m2 “From 690$” “Area from 28.00 m2” Published 18.09.2025 Instalment plan field shows a dash; bank mortgage listed without terms
batumi-property.com (broker page) “Price from 39 000$” (about GEL 101,201) Not stated Undated “Installment and credit: Yes”; “full cost in the TAPU”

The three prints do not agree, and nothing on the pages explains the gap. The geoln listing is the oldest, published on 18 September 2025, and the article is the newest, but a listing portal may update or leave its entry unchanged, so the order of dates does not establish which figure applies today. The batumi-property page carries no date at all. It calls itself the official representative of the developer; the developer’s pages do not mention it, so its figure is labelled here as a broker price.

Only the geoln pair is internally consistent. Dividing its minimum price by its minimum area, USD 19,320 by 28 m2, gives USD 690 per m2, the same as the listing’s “from 690$” field, so those two figures plausibly describe one 28 m2 unit. The article and the broker page do not say which unit their starting prices refer to, so a buyer cannot tell whether three different units or one unit at three different prices is being described.

The handover dates show the same pattern.

Orbi Millennium Batumi: handover per source Handover as printed Source date Note
Developer project page, article and camera page No handover date 9 November 2026 The pages describe the project as a new project and give no schedule
geoln.com listing “Finished at December 2027”; the listing FAQ says construction is “planned to be finished in December 2027” Published 18.09.2025 Third-party listing
batumi-property.com (broker page) “2027 September delivery date”; “Construction completion date September 2027” Undated Broker page

The two third-party handover months differ by three months. Neither source says whether its date is a contract date, a target or an estimate, and neither names a document behind it. The only statement the developer prints on timing is that the project is at the construction stage, which its camera page supports by listing a camera. A buyer who wants a date asks for it in the preliminary agreement, together with what counts as handover: the commissioning act, the registration of the unit, or the physical key handover.

The table below shows the arithmetic that can be done from the printed figures. It is labelled as calculated and it adds no new facts.

Item (calculated from the printed figures) Arithmetic Result Reading note
geoln price per m2 against minimum area 19,320 / 28 USD 690 per m2 Equals the geoln “from 690$” field
Initial payment as a share of the article’s starting price 4,000 / 18,750 21.3% Assumes both figures refer to the same unit, which the article does not say
Balance after the initial payment 18,750 – 4,000 USD 14,750 Same assumption
Balance over 12 months 14,750 / 12 USD 1,229.17 a month Illustration only; the schedule, dates and currency of instalments are not printed
geoln against the article 19,320 – 18,750 USD 570, or 3.0% more Different dates and possibly different units
Broker page against the article 39,000 / 18,750 2.08 times Unit types not stated by either
Handover gap between the two listings December 2027 minus September 2027 3 months Neither source says what the date means
geoln publication date to its handover month 18 September 2025 to December 2027 About 27 months Elapsed time between the listing date and the printed handover

Prices printed in US dollars are the developer’s or the portals’ own currency choice; the sale contract states the currency in which each payment is made and whether the lari amount is fixed or moves with the exchange rate. That detail matters for a 12-month plan, because the lari value of a dollar instalment changes with the official rate over a year.

The four blocks and the Wilkinson Eyre design statement

The developer describes four blocks and the gallery on the project page includes a slide in Georgian that gives each block a role. Reading the slide, blocks A and B are described as 25-storey hotel-type apartment buildings, block C as a 29-storey hotel-type apartment building, and block D as the infrastructure part, with two basement levels and a ground floor plus 3 floors, functionally joining A, B and C. The English text of the page calls the same three blocks residential and does not print floor counts.

Orbi Millennium Batumi: blocks per source Gallery slide (Georgian) Developer page text Third-party listings
Block A 25 floors; hotel-type apartments One of three residential blocks batumi-property: “two 25-storey high-rise buildings”
Block B 25 floors; hotel-type apartments One of three residential blocks Same statement as for block A
Block C 29 floors; hotel-type apartments One of three residential blocks geoln: “29 floors”
Block D Infrastructure part: basement -2 and ground plus 3 floors; links A, B and C Commercial block; houses retail brands and connects the other blocks; open space for recreation batumi-property: “a large shopping centre”
Whole project Four blocks, A to D “Relatively low-rise design”; 3 residential blocks and 1 commercial block batumi-property: “four buildings”, total area “over 60,000 square metres”

The English page says the design is relatively low-rise so as to fit the New Boulevard, which it describes as having moderately low and compact buildings compared with other new districts in Batumi. The page does not define low-rise and gives no height in metres. The slide prints 25 and 29 floors. Both statements are the developer’s, and the guide does not reconcile them; a buyer who needs the height, the number of towers or the floor of a unit asks for the approved drawings.

The diagram on the slide marks two shapes for each of the letters A, B and C, around a connected central shape for the infrastructure part.

The slide’s text does not say whether each letter covers two towers, so the number of buildings is not settled by the printed sources: the broker speaks of two 25-storey buildings and of four buildings in different sentences.

The slide is also the only place in the sources reviewed that uses the phrase hotel-type, and what that means for use, service and title is a question for the contract.

On the commercial block, the developer’s text says Block D houses retail brands and links the other blocks, and its renders show brand signage on the podium. No tenant is named in the text, so the signage is illustrative. The article describes Block D as retail boutiques, restaurants and cafes; the project page lists retail spaces, cafes and restaurants among the features. Whether the commercial units are for sale or lease is not stated for Orbi Millennium.

The design attribution appears on the project page, in the article and on the geoln listing. The table sets out who says what.

Source Statement about the design Date seen
Developer project page The design was developed by Wilkinson Eyre, a British architectural firm 9 November 2026
Developer article The architectural concept was developed by the British studio Wilkinson Eyre, with Gardens by the Bay in Singapore and One Barangaroo in Sydney named as the studio’s landmark projects Printed 09.11.26
geoln.com listing The author of the project design is Wilkinson Eyre Published 18.09.2025

The sources therefore support only this: the developer and geoln name Wilkinson Eyre. A buyer asks the developer in writing for the name of the architect of record, the design stage the Wilkinson Eyre concept reached, and the construction permit number, which the municipality issues for the approved design.

Location: Batumi and the New Boulevard

The sources agree on the city and on the sea, and they use different words for the street. The developer says the project is on the New Boulevard of Batumi’s coastline; its camera page says “apartments on Batumi Boulevard”; the article gives Zghvispiri Street 1A. The geoln listing prints “Zghvis Piris 1”, and the broker page prints “Batumi, Center”.

These read as variants of one place, but the developer prints no coordinates and no cadastral code, and a search of OpenStreetMap on 9 November 2026 returned no entry for the street name, so this guide does not compute distances from the site to other places.

The boulevard itself is documented by the city’s tourism site. Visit Batumi describes Batumi Boulevard as a seaside park seven kilometres long, begun in 1881 and holding around 45,000 trees and plants, with landmarks that include the Colonnades, the Alphabet Tower and the Dancing Fountains. The developer’s home page calls the boulevard recently expanded and seven kilometres long. Neither text says which stretch is called the New Boulevard, so the position of Zghvispiri Street along the seafront is a point to confirm on a map with the exact address.

The city is the administrative centre of Adjara. Geostat’s release on the population as of 1 January 2026 gives Adjara 413.2 thousand people and Georgia 3,941.1 thousand, and its table by self-governed unit gives Batumi municipality 246.3 thousand on 1 January 2026 against 236.8 thousand a year earlier. Geostat notes that the 2025 figures were recalculated on the basis of the 2024 census.

The Georgian National Tourism Administration page describes Batumi as a port city 350 kilometres from the capital, about 5 hours 30 minutes by road from Tbilisi and 2 hours 15 minutes from Kutaisi.

Air access runs through Batumi International Airport. United Airports of Georgia reports that it served 951,760 passengers in 2024, which made it the third busiest airport in the country after Tbilisi and Kutaisi, and that the expansion completed in 2021 allowed up to 1.2 million passengers a year.

Wikipedia places the airport about 2 kilometres south of the city and about 20 kilometres from Hopa in Turkey. Because the site coordinates are not published, the road distance from the project to the airport is a question for a map and not for this page.

The climate is a practical fact for a coastal apartment. Wikipedia classes Batumi as humid subtropical, records an annual precipitation of 2,435 mm, and calls it the wettest city in Georgia and the Caucasus. For national context, Geostat counted 7.8 million arrivals of non-resident travellers in Georgia in 2025, 5.9 percent more than in 2024; the release gives no Batumi figure, and the developer quotes over 2.5 million visitors to Batumi in 2024 without a source. These figures describe visits and not the performance of any unit.

For price context, Geostat’s official residential property price index covers new homes in Tbilisi only, so it does not describe Batumi. The guides on apartment prices per square metre in Batumi and on how off-plan buying works in Batumi compare the entry prices on listing pages, and the Batumi city page lists the current projects.

Payment plan, remote purchase and management: what is printed

The developer’s article describes a flexible 12-month in-house instalment plan and an initial payment of USD 4,000. The article does not say which units the plan covers, whether the instalments are equal, whether they carry interest, or whether the plan ends before or after handover. The developer’s general FAQ lists three ways to pay across its projects: full payment, a mortgage, or an interest-free instalment plan offered by the developer, with details from the sales managers.

Rendering: apartment balconies in Orbi Millennium overlooking the sea and a park

On the third-party pages, geoln shows the instalment field as a dash and lists a bank mortgage without terms, and the broker page says instalments and credit are available.

The article also describes remote purchase for buyers abroad: selecting an apartment, signing and paying online by video call or messenger, and it states that a digitally signed contract has the same legal force as one signed at the company’s office. That is the developer’s statement and the guide neither confirms nor disputes it.

The Georgian sources are clearer on form: under Article 183 of the Civil Code the transaction to acquire an immovable thing must be in writing and the acquirer’s right must be registered in the Public Registry. The National Agency of Public Registry runs a smart-contract service through which immovable property rights are registered at a virtual meeting booked in advance.

A document signed abroad may need legalisation, and Georgia is shown as a party to the Apostille Convention on the Hague Conference status table with entry into force on 14 May 2007.

On management, the project page says that a management company takes on property management and maintenance and provides oversight and services for owners, and the article adds that it oversees maintenance and rental operations. No company is named. The broker page says an international hotel management company has been brought on board and also names none. The developer’s FAQ says it offers property-management services and that terms and pricing come from the manager.

The pages print no fee, no contract term and no description of how any income would be shared. This guide does not reproduce the profitability statements on the project page, which print no figures; any such terms are in the contract.

The table lists the items that the developer’s pages do not print for Orbi Millennium. It is a list of gaps and not a criticism: a project page is a summary, and the sale documents carry the detail.

Item Status on the developer’s pages (9 November 2026)
Price list by unit, block and floor Not printed
Unit types and sizes Not printed
Total number of units Not printed

What to ask for in writing before reserving

The gaps above translate into a short list of documents. Each item is an ordinary part of buying a unit before completion.

  1. A price list with block, floor, unit number, area, finish and price for the unit offered, and a statement of which unit the “from $18,750” and the USD 4,000 initial payment refer to.
  2. The payment schedule: dates, amounts, currency of each instalment, whether the 12-month plan covers the whole balance, and whether any amount is due after handover.
  3. The handover date in the preliminary agreement, the definition of handover, and the consequence if the date is missed.
  4. The full legal name and registration details of the entity that signs the contract and receives the payments, and whether the unit is sold by the developer or by another company.
  5. The construction permit number, the building class and a Public Registry extract for the land, with its cadastral code.
  6. Written payment details: the account holder, the bank, and whether payments go to an escrow or project account, with a receipt for each payment.
  7. How the buyer’s right is secured: pre-registration under the Law on the Public Registry or another registered right, and the date on which ownership is registered.
  8. What “hotel-type apartment” means for the unit: permitted use, owner stays, shared facilities and service charges.
  9. The management agreement, if one is offered: operator name, term, fees, what the services include, whether participation is compulsory and what happens on resale.
  10. The finish and furnishing specification in the contract, and the facilities schedule with opening dates.
  11. The service-charge and utility arrangements, and who pays for the shared pools, spa and commercial block.
  12. For a buyer signing abroad: the signing procedure, whether a power of attorney or an apostille is needed, and whether the registration meeting is held through the NAPR smart-contract service.

Buying in Georgia in brief

Georgian law supplies the frame whichever developer sells the unit. Under Article 183 of the Civil Code the acquirer of an immovable thing needs a written transaction and the registration of the acquirer’s ownership right in the Public Registry, which is kept by the National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR). The Law on the Public Registry defines an immovable thing to include a building unit under construction, so a unit can be registered before the building is finished.

For a purchase before completion, Article 12 of the Law on the Public Registry allows a right to immovable property to be pre-registered on the basis of an agreement between the parties.

While the pre-registration stands, no other right to the property can be registered unless the parties agree otherwise; it does not stop the registration of a legal successor as owner, and it ends when the secured right is registered, when a set time limit expires, by written agreement, or when another person’s right is registered under the exceptions in the article. Whether a given contract uses pre-registration is a question to put in writing.

A Georgian legal columnist, writing in Georgia Today on 3 August 2023, described the agreement for an unbuilt flat as a pre-purchase agreement because a sale contract cannot be concluded on a property that does not yet exist.

The building must also be commissioned. In the Construction Code, Article 139 exempts Class I buildings from commissioning, and Article 139¹ bars operating a building, or supplying it with electricity and natural gas except for construction needs, until the commissioning act is issued; the Code divides buildings into five classes by risk in Article 96 and names three kinds of construction supervision, public, technical and safety, in Article 117. A buyer can ask which class the project has and who the supervisors are.

NAPR’s fee page lists the registration of a change in the right to immovable property at GEL 150 in four working days, GEL 270 in one working day and GEL 350 on the day of filing; GEL 150 is about USD 58 at GEL 2.5949.

On the informational services page, a Public Registry extract costs GEL 20 for one working day or GEL 13 online, with GEL 26 added if the extract is ordered in English. The guides on how to buy property in Georgia and on whether foreigners can buy property in Georgia give the order of steps in more detail.

The Organic Law on Agricultural Land Ownership, in Article 4, lists who may own agricultural land. An apartment is not agricultural land, so that restriction applies to land and not to a flat. The sale contract states the title terms for the unit.

Taxes, residence and financing for a foreign buyer

The taxes that fall on an individual owner are set by the Tax Code, which is published in English on matsne.gov.ge. Article 6 lists the national taxes as income tax, profit tax, VAT, excise tax and import duty, and states that property tax is a local tax; the list contains no tax on the act of acquiring a property. The state charge on a purchase is therefore the registration fee in section 7, and other costs depend on the contract.

Property tax changed with Law No. 1874 of 30 September 2026. Article 202(5) now sets the rate on a natural person’s taxable property other than land at not less than 0.8 percent and not more than 1 percent of its market value at the end of the previous year, and Article 206(1)(a) exempts that property if the family’s income in the previous year did not exceed GEL 100,000, about USD 38,537.

The EY Georgia Tax and Law Brief for July to September 2026 reports the same change, with the earlier threshold of GEL 40,000.

Article 201 includes an unfinished construction in the taxable real estate of a natural person. The return is due by 1 November and the tax by 15 November under Articles 205(12) and 205(14), and the Revenue Service notes that both dates move to the next working day when they fall on a non-working day.

Whether a buyer under a preliminary agreement counts as the owner for this tax is a question for the contract and the registry record.

Rent and sale have their own rules. Under Article 81(2), income that a natural person receives from renting out residential space for residential purposes is taxed at 5 percent when no deductions are made, and the general rate in Article 81(1) is 20 percent. Article 81(3) taxes the surplus from providing a residential apartment at 5 percent, and Article 82(1)(f.a) exempts the surplus from the sale of a residential apartment with its land when it was owned for more than two years.

The guide on short-term letting in Batumi covers letting by the night, and the property-tax guide sets out the declaration steps. Which rule applies depends on the owner’s circumstances.

For residence, the Public Service Development Agency describes a short-term residence permit for an alien who holds title to immovable property other than agricultural land with a market value exceeding USD 150,000 equivalent in lari, as determined by a certified assessor.

The Law on the Legal Status of Aliens and Stateless Persons states the same rule in Article 15(j), and Article 15(h) sets the investment residence permit at property exceeding USD 300,000. The official wording is “exceeding”, and the test uses the assessor’s market value and not the contract price.

The three starting prices printed for Orbi Millennium, USD 18,750, USD 19,320 and USD 39,000, are each below USD 150,000; whether any unit has an assessed value above it, or whether the title of an unfinished unit counts, is a question for the Public Service Development Agency. The guide on residence permits in Georgia gives the current process.

On financing, the developer’s pages print the in-house instalment plan and no bank arrangement. The National Bank of Georgia’s PTI and LTV page sets a loan-to-value limit of 90 percent for lari loans and 70 percent for foreign-currency loans, with payment-to-income limits of 25 percent (lari) or 20 percent (foreign currency, income in another currency) below GEL 1,500 of monthly net income, rising to 50 percent and 30 percent from GEL 1,500.

Lending to a non-resident against a unit under construction is each bank’s own policy, and the guide on mortgages for foreigners describes how that works in practice.

How Orbi Millennium Batumi compares with the other Orbi projects

The table lists all six Orbi Group projects that have a listing guide on this site, with the status and the figures each source prints. The columns are not like for like: the developer prints a price only for Orbi Millennium, in a promotional article, so every other price shown is a third-party or reseller statement, labelled with its source.

Project City and area Status as published What is published
Orbi Millennium Batumi (this page) Batumi, New Boulevard At the construction stage; listed with a live camera Starting price $18,750, $19,320 or $39,000 by source; handover December 2027 or September 2027 per third parties; units not printed
Orbi City Batumi Batumi, Khimshiashvili Street Four of five houses delivered, the last due in Q4 2026 per Korter, 3 November 2026 Unit totals printed range from 4,500 to 11,500 across sources; from $3,500 per m2 per Korter; no developer price
Orbi Continental Batumi Batumi, near Rustaveli Avenue Under construction; groundbreaking 17 September 2025 per the developer’s article 1,700 units per the developer; studios from $102,500 per Korter, 21 October 2026; handover not printed by the developer
Central Park Towers Tbilisi Tbilisi, Saburtalo Under construction 1,150 units (developer) or 1,394 (Korter); from $142,560 per Korter; handover September 2027 (developer article) or Q3 2027 (Korter)
Avenue by Orbi Batumi Batumi Under construction per Korter From $1,800 per m2 per Korter; Q4 2026 per Korter; units not published
Orbi City Mall Batumi Batumi, podium of Orbi City Developer card says it opened in 2026 Commercial space offered for sale; no price, area or unit count printed

Read together, the rows show that the published information differs by project more than the projects themselves can be compared. Orbi City and Orbi City Mall share Khimshiashvili Street; Central Park Towers is in Tbilisi. The table makes no claim that one project is better than another, and each guide carries its own sources. The main listing hubs are the Georgia country page and the Batumi city page.

Orbi Group (developer)

Orbi Group is the developer named on every page reviewed. The About page describes it as a real estate developer in Georgia and Europe that specialises in investment properties, reports 28+ years of operations and 4+ million m2 of completed project space, and says the group collaborates with international brands for apartment management and complex operations, without naming one. These are the developer’s own statements, seen on 9 November 2026.

The contact section of the site lists offices in Georgia (Tbilisi and Batumi), Germany, Poland, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Azerbaijan and Russia. Public sources give the founding year as 1998: the Korter developer page says it has built since 1998, and the HomeRadar developer page gives the same year. Both pages list current and completed projects; Korter shows seven current projects and fourteen completed ones on 9 November 2026, with completed projects including Orbi Old Batumi (2015) and Golden Palace (2016).

The developer’s projects page lists Orbi Millennium alongside Orbi Beach Tower and Orbi Sea Towers, the latter labelled as completed, and its home page features Orbi Millennium and Orbi Continental.

The group also runs its own hotel brand, Orbi Hotels, according to an article on its site dated 16 December 2025. The project pages do not name the legal entity that sells Orbi Millennium or the company that holds the land; the registry extract and the sale contract are where those names appear. The guide does not publish contact details for the developer.

Frequently asked questions

What is Orbi Millennium Batumi?

Orbi Millennium Batumi is a project of Orbi Group on the New Boulevard of Batumi, described by the developer as combining residential and commercial space with recreational and leisure facilities in four blocks: three residential and one commercial. The developer lists it among its sites with a live construction camera. It prints no unit count, no unit sizes and no handover date, so those items come from third-party listings or from the sale documents.

Where is Orbi Millennium on the map?

The developer’s article gives the address as Zghvispiri Street 1A, 50 metres from the Black Sea, and the project page says the New Boulevard. Third-party listings print “Zghvis Piris 1” and “Batumi, Center”. No coordinates are published and OpenStreetMap returned no match for the street name on 9 November 2026, so the exact position should be confirmed with the cadastral code and a map before relying on any distance.

What does Orbi Millennium Batumi cost?

The developer’s project page prints no price. A developer article offers apartments “starting from just $18,750”, with a $4,000 initial payment and a 12-month instalment plan. The geoln listing, published 18 September 2025, prints “from 19320$”, and the broker page batumi-property.com, undated, prints “from 39 000$”. None names the unit type for the starting price, so the price list for a specific unit is the document to ask for.

When is the handover of Orbi Millennium Batumi?

The developer prints no handover date. The geoln listing says December 2027 and the batumi-property page says September 2027. Neither explains whether the date is a contract date or an estimate. A handover date is fixed in the preliminary agreement, together with the definition of handover and the consequence of a missed date; the contract is the document that binds, not a project page or a portal.

How many apartments and floors are there?

The developer prints no total. A developer article says an offer was extended for 250 additional units, and a broker page says more than 500 flats are available; neither is a total. For floors, a Georgian slide on the project page gives 25 floors for blocks A and B, 29 for block C, and a basement-and-podium block D. geoln prints 29 floors and the broker says two 25-storey buildings. The approved drawings settle the question.

Who designed Orbi Millennium Batumi?

The developer’s project page and article say the design was developed by Wilkinson Eyre, a British architectural firm, and geoln says the same. The architect of record and the permit documents are what a buyer asks for in writing.

Can a foreigner buy an apartment like those at Orbi Millennium Batumi?

The sources reviewed show no restriction on a foreigner owning an apartment: the restriction in Georgian law concerns agricultural land, set out in Article 4 of the Organic Law on Agricultural Land Ownership, and an apartment is not agricultural land. Under Article 183 of the Civil Code the transaction must be in writing and the ownership right registered in the Public Registry. The guide on whether foreigners can buy property in Georgia gives the general position, and the sale contract states the title terms.

Does buying a unit give a residence permit?

A purchase does not by itself give a permit. The Public Service Development Agency lists a short-term permit for an alien who holds title to property other than agricultural land with a market value exceeding USD 150,000 equivalent in lari, set by a certified assessor. The three starting prices printed for this project are below that figure, and whether an unfinished unit counts is a question for the Agency. The permit is a separate application and decision.

What property tax applies?

Since 30 September 2026 a natural person’s property other than land is exempt if family income in the previous year did not exceed GEL 100,000; above that the Tax Code sets 0.8 to 1 percent of market value at the end of the previous year. The return is due by 1 November and payment by 15 November. Rent is taxed at 5 percent if no deductions are made. The Revenue Service decides each case, and the contract shows when a buyer counts as the owner.

Can the purchase be completed remotely?

The developer states that a unit can be selected, signed for and paid for online by video call or messenger. Georgian law requires a written transaction and registration of the right in the Public Registry, and NAPR runs a smart-contract service in which registration takes place at a virtual meeting booked in advance. Documents signed abroad may need legalisation, and Georgia is a party to the Apostille Convention. The signing procedure should be confirmed in writing before any payment.
