Archi Universe Tbilisi: Sources and Prices Guide (2026)
Saburtalo, Tbilisi, Georgia

Description

Archi Universe Tbilisi is a complex of two 26-storey residential blocks joined by a commercial podium at 15a University Street in Saburtalo, and the developer’s block pages show construction at 65 percent for Block A and 67 percent for Block B on 13 October 2026.

This guide to Archi Universe Tbilisi reads the developer’s pages on archi.ge as checked on 12 November 2026 and sets beside them what Korter and a broker page print on unit totals, price, finish and handover, each with its source and date. archi.ge prints no price and no handover date for the project, and the guide shows the third-party figures side by side without choosing between them. It also covers the construction log, the public flats list, the surrounding area, and Georgian rules on buying, tax and residence.

Overview of Archi Universe Tbilisi

The developer’s project page places Archi Universe Tbilisi at 15a University Street, in Saburtalo, and describes two 26-storey residential blocks, A and B, linked by a commercial podium. The podium is to hold a fitness hall, an outdoor pool, a lobby with concierge service, cafes, a supermarket, a pharmacy and shops. The page also lists a generator, a water reservoir and parking, and says that a road bridge in front of the site connects to Bagebi, so that residents can reach Bagebi or Tskneti.

The developer’s news release of 15 November 2023 records the presentation on 14 November 2023 and a stated investment of GEL 120 million, which is about USD 46.3 million at the National Bank’s rate of GEL 2.5933 per USD on 12 November 2026 (calculated for scale only, because the figure was stated in lari). The release says the building uses Ytong blocks and a terracotta facade made in Germany and Portugal, and that the complex includes 257 apartments.

On the checked date the block pages mark both blocks as ongoing, with progress of 65 and 67 percent and dated logs (section 3). The pages do not print a price, a handover date, a payment plan or a finish specification.

In the public flats list the price field reads zero for every unit, and the page’s own flag for showing flat prices is false. The price and handover figures that exist come from Korter and a broker page, and section 2 shows them as listing-site and broker indications and not as Archi prices.

What each source prints: units, floors, price, payment and handover

Public information on the project comes from three places: the developer’s pages, Korter’s project page (prices and availability as of 25 October 2026) and the OPR broker page, which is undated and was read on 12 November 2026. Unit totals, floor counts and area names do not match across them. The table shows each value with its source. The developer’s pages are quoted as “per the developer”, every other figure as “per” the named site, and none is treated as the correct one.

Archi Universe Tbilisi: item Per the developer (archi.ge, 12 November 2026) What third parties print
Apartments in total 257 (project text; the same figure is in the release of 15 November 2023) Korter: 113 in Block A and 157 in Block B, which adds to 270, and its text says 270 apartments; OPR: 257
Sold and for-sale counters Block A 111 sold and 62 for sale; Block B 137 sold and 39 for sale (complex page) Korter: 42 listings for sale and 4 rental listings
Floors 26 in each block Korter header: 26 floors; Korter text: 27 stories; OPR: 26-storey
Area name Saburtalo Korter: Vake District; OPR: Vazha-Pshavela (Saburtalo); OpenStreetMap: Saburtalo neighbourhood in Vake District
Apartment sizes Flats list: 33.1 to 519 m² Korter: 54.4 to 370.8 m²; OPR: from 31 m² up to 519 m²
Start of works Presented 14 November 2023; the log’s first entry is 26 June 2024 (Block A) Korter: start Q4 2023
Facade material Terracotta (project page) OPR: FunderMax ventilated facade

The developer’s counters and its flats list agree with each other, although not with the 257 figure. On the complex page Block A shows 111 sold and 62 for sale, and Block B 137 sold and 39 for sale. The public flats list holds 62 unsold flats for Block A and 39 for Block B, which equals the for-sale counters, and it holds 7 commercial listings under each block besides. The next table sets the numbers out.

Counters on archi.ge (12 November 2026) Sold (counter) For sale (counter) Sold plus for sale (calculated) Unsold flats in the public list Commercial listings
Block A 111 62 173 62 7
Block B 137 39 176 39 7
Both blocks 248 101 349 101 14

Read this way the counters total 349 flats, which is 92 more than 257 and 79 more than Korter’s 270 (calculated). The pages do not say whether the sold counters include commercial units, whether 257 refers to an earlier plan, or whether Korter counts a different set. The guide leaves the question open. The unit numbers and floor plans attached to a sale contract are the figures that bind a buyer, and no registry figure for the number of apartments was available for this check.

Area names differ for a reason that maps help to explain. Wikipedia’s article on Vake District lists Upper Saburtalo and Bagebi among its neighbourhoods, while its article on Saburtalo District lists Lower Saburtalo, Vedzisi and Lisi.

OpenStreetMap files University Street under the Saburtalo neighbourhood within Vake District, so Korter’s header and the developer’s wording can both be read from the same map. OPR’s “Vazha-Pshavela” label matches the name of the nearby metro station and avenue. Which neighbourhood the plot belongs to is a matter for the registry address and not for a marketing label.

No price appears on archi.ge for this project. The public flats list returns a price of zero for each of the 115 listed units, the complex page flags flat prices as not shown, and the payment-terms field is empty. The end-date field on both block pages is empty as well. The table shows what Korter and the OPR broker page print instead. Their figures are listing-site and broker indications, and they are not Archi prices or offers.

Item archi.ge (12 November 2026) Korter (25 October 2026) OPR broker page (undated, read 12 November 2026)
Price None; the price field is 0 in the flats list From USD 2,162 per m²; unit prices “upon request” From USD 75.6K (launch price); text: studio USD 75.6K, 1-bedroom USD 121K, 2-bedroom USD 88.4K, 3-bedroom USD 213.8K
Handover Not printed Block A and Block B: completion Q2 2027, start Q4 2023 June 2027
Payment Not printed Instalments available, details from the developer; a TBC Bank mortgage is listed Three plans: 60/40; 0% instalment over 14 months; 20/60/20
Finish Not stated Finishing option: premium frame Premium Frame: aluminium windows and doors with low-emissive glass, plastered walls, screed floors, electrical and heating wiring, metal entrance door, ceramic granite on balconies; turnkey fit-out for an extra cost
Status Ongoing: 65 percent (A) and 67 percent (B) Two houses under construction; latest update November 2026 Not stated

The three handover entries come from one source each and do not confirm one another. Korter gives a quarter, the broker a month, and the developer neither. A handover date for a purchase is the date written in the sale agreement, so the guide treats Q2 2027 and June 2027 as third-party prints. Section 3 shows how far the frame and the interior stood on the developer’s last log date.

The broker’s per-type prices are not in ascending order of size: the 2-bedroom figure (USD 88.4K) is lower than the 1-bedroom figure (USD 121K), and the page does not say which units they refer to. That is one reason to ask for a unit-level price list (section 9). The page also prints return and capital-growth projections and tax statements. None is reproduced here, and the tax rules in section 8 come from the Tax Code.

Korter prints its per-square-metre figure as a “from” rate, so it is a minimum across the listings Korter holds and not an average. Section 8 applies it to the areas in the developer’s list as arithmetic only, to show where a unit would sit against the residence-permit threshold. The developer’s own pages remain the only source for status, and the contract is the only source for a price.

Construction log, floor by floor: Blocks A and B

The block pages are the richest public record of the project. Block A’s page carries 33 dated log entries, from 26 June 2024 (excavation and preparatory concrete) to 13 October 2026, and Block B’s page carries 11, from 30 November 2025 to the same last date. The stamps are the dates in the page data (UTC), so an entry stamped at 20:00 UTC falls on the next calendar day in Tbilisi. The table lists the highest floor slab each entry reports as completed, in the developer’s wording.

13 Oct 2026 Slabs from the 1st to the 24th floor completed Slabs from the 1st to the 26th floor completed

Between 30 September 2025 and 13 October 2026, a span of 378 days, Block A’s logged slab moved from the 10th to the 24th floor, which is 14 floors or about 1.1 floors a month. Block B’s moved from the 15th floor on 30 November 2025 to the 26th on 13 October 2026, which is 11 floors in 317 days, also about 1.1 a month (both calculated from the stamps). Block B stayed two to three floors ahead of Block A throughout the series.

The percentages need care. By slabs alone Block A has 24 of 26 floors (92 percent) and Block B 26 of 26 (100 percent), yet archi.ge shows 65 and 67 percent. The page does not define what the percentage measures, so it is not a count of floors with slabs. The same entries show plastering on the 10th to 13th floors and facade windows on the 11th to 13th floors, well below the top, as the next table shows.

Works logged on 13 October 2026 Block A Block B
Frame Slabs 1st to 24th; columns 1st to 24th Slabs 1st to 26th; columns 1st to 25th, 26th starting
Perimeter blockwork 2nd to 21st floor 1st to 24th floor
Apartment partitions 9th to 21st floor 1st to 23rd floor
Plastering 10th to 13th completed; 14th in progress 10th, 11th and 13th completed

Ventilation 9th to 16th in progress 9th to 17th in progress
Fire system in common areas 2nd to 4th completed 2nd to 4th, in the process of completion

What the 13 October entries do not report is also informative: no facade cladding, lift installation, landscaping or commissioning step is mentioned, and the log gives no date for completion. The early entries for Block A refer to a first, second and third “part of the building”, and the pages do not say how those parts relate to Blocks A and B and the podium. Korter shows a construction-photo series from March 2025 to November 2026 and lists the next delivery as Q2 2027.

The guide offers no completion forecast. The developer prints no schedule, the log records what was done and not what is planned, and Q2 2027 and June 2027 are third-party dates. A buyer reading the log can see which trades have reached which floors; the date by which an apartment is handed over, and in what condition, comes from the contract.

Flats in the public list: sizes, floors and terraces

The developer’s flats list, the public search that archi.ge’s own pages use, held 115 unsold units for the project on 12 November 2026: 101 flats and 14 commercial listings. Each entry carries a unit number, a floor, a total area, a living area and a field named summer area, which equals the total minus the living area and is read here as balcony or terrace space. The list gives a rooms count and no bedroom count, and what the rooms count includes is not defined.

Dusk render of the two Archi Universe blocks
Rooms count (archi.ge field) Flats in A Flats in B Total area (m²) Living area (m²) Summer area (m²) Floors
1 10 1 33.1 to 39.7 22.7 to 30 8.7 to 11.2 9 to 16 (A); 24 (B)
2 2 3 58.1 to 89.7 43.4 to 67 14.2 to 22.7 9 to 26
3 34 28 88.6 to 106 60 to 87.2 18.3 to 44.4 9 to 26
4 8 4 119.7 to 320.6 90.6 to 138.1 29.1 to 193.8 19 to 26
5 4 0 219.4 156.5 62.9 20 to 23
6 1 3 232.2 to 519 166.1 to 224.7 66.1 to 294.3 24 to 26
7 1 0 276.6 195.9 80.7 25
8 2 0 381.3 258.7 122.6 24 and 25
Total flats 62 39 33.1 to 519 9 to 26

Three observations follow from the list (calculated). First, 62 of the 101 unsold flats (61 percent) are 3-room units of 88.6 to 106 m². Second, no unsold flat is below the 9th floor: the commercial listings are on floors 1, 6, 7 and 8, and Block A’s parking plans cover levels -1 and 2 to 5. Third, the larger layouts sit high: every flat of five or more rooms is on floors 20 to 26, and the 4-room flats are on floors 19 to 26.

By floor band, 40 flats are on floors 9 to 14, 26 on floors 15 to 20 and 35 on floors 21 to 26.

Korter’s text says some apartments have private terraces of 30 to 196 m², and the list’s summer-area field reaches 193.8 m² on a 4-room unit and 294.3 m² on the 519 m² unit. A terrace area is therefore part of several large totals, and a buyer comparing price per square metre across units should ask whether terraces are counted in the area on which the price is set.

The 14 commercial listings are 7 under each block, with areas from 174.1 to 2,593.3 m². Six of the seven entries under each block carry the same unit numbers and areas, which may mean that podium units are listed under both blocks; the pages do not say. A buyer cannot count the 14 entries as 14 separate units from the list alone.

Block A’s page also maps 288 parking spaces on levels -1 and 2 to 5, each flagged as not sold, with no price or area, and Block B’s page maps none.

How each source labels unit sizes Label and size as printed
archi.ge flats list (12 November 2026) Rooms count 1: 33.1 to 39.7 m²; 2: 58.1 to 89.7; 3: 88.6 to 106; 4: 119.7 to 320.6 (unsold flats)
Korter (25 October 2026) 1-room 58.5 to 68 m²; 2-room 88.4 to 324.2; 3-room 115.2 to 171.8; 4-room 217.8 to 517.8; 6-room 278.1 to 380.8; the characteristics block gives 54.4 to 370.8 m² overall
OPR broker page (undated) Studios from 31 m²; 1-bedroom from 55; 2-bedroom from 89.7; 3-bedroom from 101.8; 4-bedroom from 232.2; 5-bedroom from 219.4

The labels cannot be mapped one to one. The developer’s smallest unit, 33.1 m², is below Korter’s smallest figure (54.4 m² in its characteristics block, 58.5 m² in its 1-room row), and the portals appear to count rooms differently from the developer’s list. The guide does not convert between the three. The unit number in the sale contract, with the floor plan attached to it, is what defines the apartment.

Location of Archi Universe Tbilisi: University Street, the metro and the arena next door

Tbilisi is the capital. The Geostat population release puts the city at 1,369.4 thousand people on 1 January 2026, out of 3,941.1 thousand nationwide, which is about 34.7 percent (calculated), and notes that more than one third of the population lives in the city.

Night render of an Archi Universe block

The developer places Archi Universe Tbilisi at 15a University Street and calls the setting one of the greenest parts of Saburtalo. The map point on archi.ge is 41.717655 N, 44.727017 E.

OpenStreetMap maps the address 15a Universiteti Street to the sports venue Tbilisi Arena, whose centre lies about 0.05 km from that point, and Wikipedia’s Olympic Palace article gives a position about 0.09 km away. The point therefore marks the street block shared with the sports complex, and the plot itself is established through the cadastral code, not through the map point.

The neighbouring venue is the Olympic Palace complex. According to Wikipedia it opened on 13 July 2015 as an indoor arena for the European Youth Summer Olympic Festival, and a 10,000-seat basketball arena, Tbilisi Arena, was added next to it in 2022 and hosted Group A matches of EuroBasket 2022. The project pages say nothing about event days, traffic or noise, which are practical questions for a buyer to put to the developer and to the management company.

Two Saburtalo Line stations serve the area. Vazha-Pshavela opened on 3 April 2000. State University is the western terminus: construction began in 1985, stopped in 1994 for lack of funds, was conserved in 2000 and was finished between 2015 and 2017 with Asian Development Bank support, and the station opened on 16 October 2017. The line itself opened in 1979 between Station Square and Delisi.

The developer’s text says a road bridge in front of the project connects to Bagebi, which gives a route to Bagebi and Tskneti; Wikipedia lists both among the neighbourhoods of Vake District. No independent source for the bridge was found in this check, so it stays the developer’s statement.

Korter lists the nearest bus stop at 245 m with buses 302, 304, 310, 311, 363, 392 and minibus 472 on University Street every 10 to 15 minutes, the State University station at 1 km, Vazha-Pshavela at 1.5 km, City Mall Saburtalo within 2 km and the airport at a 45 to 50 minute drive. The broker page gives minutes instead. These are portal statements and are not verified here.

The developer gives no distances, so the table lists distances calculated from the archi.ge map point. Landmark positions come from OpenStreetMap or from the Wikipedia coordinates named in the table, straight-line figures use the great-circle formula, and road figures come from the public OSRM routing service in free-flow conditions for cars. The map point is an approximation of the plot, so the real distance from a given entrance will differ.

The pattern is a sports complex next door, two metro stations about 1 km away in a straight line but 1.5 to 2 km by road, a mall at about 1.1 km straight and 2.3 km by road, and the city centre at about 6.7 km straight and 9.5 km by road.

OSRM routes cars, so a walking route to the metro stations may be shorter than its driving figure, which the table does not measure. For city-wide context see the Tbilisi city page and the guide to Tbilisi real estate prices.

Wikipedia’s article on the Saburtalo Line places its western end near buildings X and XI of Tbilisi State University, while the university’s main building is on Chavchavadze Avenue, 4.4 km away in a straight line. A phrase such as “next to the university” on a portal therefore depends on which university building is meant.

Podium, facilities and materials as printed

The developer’s project page lists its infrastructure as icons: concierge, generator, parking, water reservoir, swimming pool, fitness centre, lobby, pharmacy, cafe and supermarket, with a children’s playground added on the Block B page. The 2023 release describes the same items as a commercial space between the blocks, in the future tense. No operator of the cafes, the supermarket or the pharmacy is named. The table sets the specification as each source prints it.

Two of the developer’s own statements on the blocks differ in form and are both recorded. The project page says the Ytong blocks reduce heating or cooling energy by 40 percent, while the 2023 release says the block is six times less heat-conductive than an ordinary block. Neither claim is tested here. The facade is another item on which the sources differ: archi.ge names terracotta and OPR names a ventilated facade of another make. The specification in the sale contract settles which applies.

The developer’s About page says Archi built a Ytong block factory in partnership with the German company Xella, with an investment of USD 15 million. That sentence concerns the supplier of one material and says nothing about how the blocks perform in this project. For the podium, the points a buyer can check are the area of each commercial unit, who operates the fitness hall and pool, and how their costs are shared, which section 9 lists.

Registering an apartment in Georgia: the order of steps and the fees

Georgian law lets a foreign individual hold an apartment on the same footing as a citizen. The restriction that depends on nationality covers agricultural land, under Article 4 of the Organic Law on Agricultural Land Ownership, and an apartment in a city block is not agricultural land. The guides on whether foreigners can buy property in Georgia and how to buy property in Georgia give the wider position.

Aerial render of the Archi Universe courtyard pool

Ownership of an apartment is created by registration. Article 183(1) of the Civil Code requires a written transaction and registration of the acquirer’s right in the Public Registry, so payments or a handover of keys do not create title by themselves. For a unit not yet built, the registry’s fee schedule also lists the registration of an obligation connected with an ownership right, which is the category a pre-completion agreement can fall under; the contract and the registry confirm which applies.

The NAPR fee page lists three speeds for registering a change of right: GEL 150 within 4 working days, GEL 270 within 1 working day and GEL 350 on the day of filing, and the same three amounts for an obligation. At the National Bank’s official rate of GEL 2.5933 per USD on 12 November 2026 those fees are about USD 57.8, USD 104.1 and USD 135.0 (calculated). The fee depends on the speed chosen and not on the price of the apartment.

A registry extract costs GEL 20 for one working day, or GEL 13 if requested online, with GEL 26 added for an English version, according to the informational services page. A buyer who cannot attend has two routes: a power of attorney legalised for use in Georgia, or the registry’s smart-contract service, which registers immovable-property rights online through a booked virtual meeting. The Hague Conference status table shows that Georgia’s accession to the Apostille Convention took effect on 14 May 2007.

Neither the Civil Code article nor the fee schedule sets a date by which a developer must complete or hand over a building, so the handover date that binds is the one in the contract. The table gives the order of steps for a purchase in a block under construction.

Owning from abroad: property tax, rent and sale tax, residence and loans

Property tax on individuals was rewritten on 30 September 2026. The consolidated Tax Code lists Law No. 1874 of that date. Its 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 the market value at the end of the previous year, and Article 206(1)(a) exempts that property when the family’s income in the previous year did not exceed GEL 100,000.

EY’s Georgia Tax and Law Brief for July to September 2026 reports the same change, gives the earlier threshold as GEL 40,000 and says the amendment entered into force on publication. The Revenue Service’s property tax calculator for 2026 offers the same two cases, family income that does not exceed GEL 100,000 and income that exceeds it. Texts written before the change carry the old bands and the old threshold, and some listing sites still repeat them.

For scale only: if a property’s market value at the end of the previous year were GEL 388,995, which is USD 150,000 at GEL 2.5933 per USD, the range of 0.8 to 1 percent would be GEL 3,112 to GEL 3,890 a year when the income exemption does not apply. The market value used and the family-income test are set case by case.

Article 201(1)(c.a) includes unfinished construction among the real estate of a natural person, so when a buyer under a pre-completion contract becomes liable is a question for the contract and the registry record.

A natural person files the property tax return by 1 November and pays by 15 November (Article 205, paragraphs 12 and 14).

Rent from residential space is taxed at 5 percent for a natural person who makes no deductions (Article 81(2)), the general rate is 20 percent (Article 81(1)), and surplus income from selling a residential apartment is taxed at 5 percent (Article 81(3)). The surplus on an apartment owned for more than two years is exempt (Article 82(1)(f.a)). The guide on property tax in Georgia walks through the filing.

For residence, the Public Service Development Agency page lists a short-term residence permit for a foreigner who holds title to immovable property other than agricultural land with a market value exceeding USD 150,000 in lari equivalent, as established by a certified assessor, and an investment residence permit where the value exceeds USD 300,000.

The Law on the Legal Status of Aliens and Stateless Persons repeats the threshold in its Article 15(j). The agency lists a decision on the 30th, 20th or 10th calendar day for GEL 300, 450 or 600.

What counts is the assessor’s valuation of the property, and the amount written in the contract does not decide it. The application lists a document of title to the property, and the agency page does not say whether a pre-completion contract qualifies, which is a question to put to the agency. The guide on the residence permit covers the application. The table compares printed amounts and one piece of arithmetic with the statutory figure; it does not predict an assessor’s valuation.

Amount compared with the residence rule Amount (USD) Against USD 150,000 (GEL 388,995) Basis
OPR studio “from” price 75,600 Does not exceed Broker print, undated
OPR 1-bedroom price 121,000 Does not exceed Broker print, undated
OPR 2-bedroom price 88,400 Does not exceed Broker print, undated
OPR 3-bedroom price 213,800 Exceeds Broker print, undated
Korter rate of USD 2,162 per m² times 33.1 m² (smallest flat in the list) 71,562 Does not exceed Arithmetic only, not a price
Korter rate times 88.6 m² (smallest 3-room flat) 191,553 Exceeds Arithmetic only, not a price
Korter rate times 106 m² (top of the 3-room range) 229,172 Exceeds Arithmetic only, not a price

At USD 2,162 per m² a flat would reach USD 150,000 at 69.4 m² (150,000 divided by 2,162, calculated). Korter’s figure is a minimum rate across listings and the developer prints no rate, so this is not a price for any unit.

On loans, the National Bank’s PTI and LTV page sets the maximum loan-to-value at 90 percent for lari loans and 70 percent for foreign-currency loans, with payment-to-income limits that depend on net monthly income and on the loan currency. Each bank sets its own terms for non-residents. Korter lists a TBC Bank mortgage and instalments as options for the project, and the developer’s pages name no bank. The guide on mortgages for foreigners in Georgia covers the process.

What to ask for in writing before reserving a unit

Because archi.ge leaves price, handover and finish unpublished, the list below turns each gap into a document or an answer a buyer can request before paying. A few of these belong in the reservation form, while the others are for the sale agreement.

  1. The price list with unit numbers, floors, areas and the finish package, with the date it was issued, so that figures can be matched to the flats list on archi.ge.
  2. The handover date written in the contract, what counts as handover, the finish and fit-out the apartment is delivered in, and the consequence if the date is missed.
  3. The legal name and registration details of the entity that signs the contract, and the plot on which the blocks stand.
  4. The cadastral code and a Public Registry extract for the plot, matched against the code Korter prints.
  5. The construction permit, the approved floor count of each block and the number of apartments in each block, since 257, 270 and 349 all appear in public sources.
  6. The payment schedule, the account or escrow that receives each payment, the rule for refunding a deposit, and the currency of payment.
  7. The finish specification: what a frame condition covers, which windows, doors and floors are included, and the price and scope of any fit-out option.
  8. The area on which the price is set for units with terraces, and whether balcony and terrace areas are counted at full or reduced rate.
  9. Whether parking spaces and commercial units are sold separately, at what price and in which block, given that Block A maps 288 spaces and the same commercial entries appear under both blocks.
  10. The service-charge schedule, the management company, the owners’ share of the podium and the rules for the pool and fitness hall.
  11. Who operates the cafes, supermarket and pharmacy, and what the lease terms say about opening hours and deliveries.
  12. Arrangements for events at the neighbouring arena: access, parking and noise rules.
  13. The registration steps after completion, who files, at what cost, and how the buyer is notified.
  14. If signing abroad: the form of the power of attorney, or a date for a booked registry meeting.

How Archi Universe Tbilisi compares with other Archi projects in Tbilisi

The table lists Archi projects in this site’s Tbilisi portfolio that share the Saburtalo area or a similar stage, with the status and the main published information for each. archi.ge prints no price or handover date for any of them, and the figures that exist come from Korter and similar sites with their own dates. The entries are not ranked.

Archi Horizon Tbilisi Ortachala, Vakhtang Gorgasali Street Under construction: Block A 6 percent, B 2 percent, C 0 percent Three blocks; Korter prints Q1 2029 for Block A

The projects differ in stage. This project is at the upper-floor and interior stage, King Tamar and Horizon are at the start of the frame, and Dighomi 3 has two completed blocks. The portfolio also includes Kobuleti Beach Resort, a joint development that Archi announced with NEXT on 1 June 2026. For the wider picture see the Georgia country page and the Tbilisi city page.

Archi (developer)

Archi’s own About page shows counters read on 12 November 2026: 55 completed projects, 31 ongoing projects, 20 years of experience, 1,568,653 m² of completed construction and 1,238,468 m² under construction. The company’s counts change between releases; its release of 13 June 2024 gave 49 completed and 22 ongoing projects, and the same release names Archi Universe among its multifunctional projects.

The anniversary item of 5 July 2021 says Archi was founded in 2006 by Ilia Tsulaia, Meni Benish and Irakli Kapianidze, joined the development industry in 2008, and gained the basketball player Zaza Pachulia as a co-owner in 2018. The June 2024 release says Deloitte was engaged to audit the consolidated financial statements of Archi and its subsidiaries under International Financial Reporting Standards. Caucasus Business Week reports an ISO 9001:2015 certificate issued through TÜV NORD.

This guide does not repeat the company’s statements on market share, resident numbers, investor countries or investment returns. They vary between releases and carry no named method or body. The sale documents name the contracting party for a unit, and the developer’s own site is the place for contact details.

Frequently asked questions

What is Archi Universe Tbilisi and where is it?

It is a residential complex of two 26-storey blocks, A and B, joined by a commercial podium at 15a University Street in Saburtalo, Tbilisi, by the developer Archi. The developer’s block pages show it under construction, at 65 percent for Block A and 67 percent for Block B on 13 October 2026. The developer lists a pool, a fitness hall, a lobby with concierge and shops in the podium, and a road bridge toward Bagebi.

How many apartments does Archi Universe Tbilisi have?

The sources disagree. The developer’s text says 257 apartments, Korter prints 113 in Block A and 157 in Block B, which is 270, and the developer’s sold and for-sale counters add to 349 (248 sold and 101 for sale). The public flats list shows 101 unsold flats and 14 commercial listings. The guide records all of them and does not choose; the contract states the unit and the floor plan that bind.

Does archi.ge print a price or a handover date for the project?

No. The flats list returns a price of zero for every unit, the complex page flags flat prices as not shown, and the end-date field on both block pages is empty. Korter prints a per-square-metre rate from USD 2,162 and a completion of Q2 2027 for both blocks, and a broker page prints a launch price from USD 75.6K and June 2027. Those are third-party indications and are not Archi prices.

How far has construction progressed?

The developer’s block pages show Block A at 65 percent and Block B at 67 percent on 13 October 2026. By the log, floor slabs were complete to the 24th floor in Block A and to the 26th in Block B, plastering had reached the 10th to 13th floors and facade windows the 10th to 13th. The percentage is not defined on the page and is not a count of floors.

Which unit sizes are in the public flats list?

On 12 November 2026 the list held 101 unsold flats from 33.1 m² (rooms count 1) to 519 m² (rooms count 6), of which 62 are 3-room units of 88.6 to 106 m². None is below the 9th floor. Korter and the broker page label sizes differently, for example Korter’s 1-room units start at 58.5 m². The list gives no bedroom count, so the unit number and plan in the contract define the apartment.

Can a foreigner buy an apartment at Archi Universe Tbilisi?

Georgian law lets a foreign individual own an apartment; the nationality-based limit applies to agricultural land. Ownership arises when the right is registered in the Public Registry (Civil Code, Article 183). NAPR registration costs GEL 150, GEL 270 or GEL 350 depending on speed, and a buyer abroad can use a legalised power of attorney or the registry’s online smart-contract meeting. The developer’s pages do not describe a purchase process.

Does a purchase give a residence permit?

The Public Service Development Agency lists a short-term residence permit for title to property, other than agricultural land, with a market value exceeding USD 150,000 in lari equivalent as set by a certified assessor. The test is the assessor’s value and not the contract price. The agency page does not say whether a pre-completion contract counts as title, which is a question for the agency before relying on it.

What taxes apply to an owner in Georgia?

Since 30 September 2026 property tax on an individual’s property other than land is exempt when family income in the previous year did not exceed GEL 100,000, and otherwise falls between 0.8 and 1 percent of market value. Residential rent is taxed at 5 percent with no deductions, and the surplus on a sale at 5 percent, exempt for an apartment owned more than two years. Filing is by 1 November and payment by 15 November.

Is a mortgage available for the project?

The developer’s pages name no bank or loan. Korter lists a TBC Bank mortgage and instalments for the project. The National Bank of Georgia limits loan-to-value to 90 percent for lari loans and 70 percent for foreign-currency loans, and each bank sets its own terms for non-residents. A buyer should ask the bank directly and the developer which payment forms the contract allows.

Which points should the contract settle before a first payment?

The contract should name the contracting entity and the plot, give the unit number, floor, area and finish, fix the handover date and the consequence of missing it, and set out the payment schedule with the receiving account. It should also state the number of apartments in each block and the terms for parking and commercial units. Section 9 sets out fourteen documents and answers a buyer can request in writing.
