Archi Rustavi Georgia: Sources and Prices Guide (2026)
New Rustavi, Rustavi, Georgia

Description

Archi Rustavi Georgia is a residential complex that the developer Archi is building at 38 Giorgi Leonidze Street in Rustavi, a separate city south-east of Tbilisi, and the developer’s building pages list three blocks of 10 to 12 floors with 586 apartments between them, of which 354 are marked sold and 232 are for sale, at 91, 70 and 67 percent construction progress.

Archi Rustavi Georgia residential block, developer render

This guide to Archi Rustavi Georgia reads the project pages on archi.ge as shown on 12 November 2026 and sets beside them the one listing portal that prints block-by-block dates and a price per square metre, Korter, with every figure labelled by source and date. The developer prints no price and no handover date. Where sources disagree the guide shows each figure and chooses none, and it adds sourced background on Rustavi and on buying, taxes and residence in Georgia.

Overview of Archi Rustavi Georgia

The developer’s project page presents the scheme as a new residential complex that it says will contribute to urban development in Rustavi. The address printed is “N 38 Giorgi Leonidze st. Rustavi”, at the intersection of Leonidze and Cherkaski streets near a space the page calls “Leonidze Square”.

Aerial render of the courtyard with sports court and play areas

Archi’s news item of 29 July 2024 places the complex in New Rustavi, and the page says it will unite 8 residential houses around a central area with sports and children’s playgrounds, a green yard of 10,000 m², a kindergarten and open and closed parking.

Three of the eight houses appear today as blocks A, B and C on archi.ge, and the aerial site-plan render in the gallery marks blocks A to H. Block A has 10 floors, and the flats data for blocks B and C runs up to floor 12. The building pages for A, B and C show progress of 91, 70 and 67 percent, each with the status “Ongoing”, and no end date is entered for the complex or for any block.

What archi.ge does not print matters as much to a buyer: a price for any apartment, a handover date, a payment plan, the name of the entity that signs the sale contract, a construction permit and the architect. The guide states these gaps neutrally and turns them into written requests in section 9. Korter fills part of the gap with completion quarters per block and a minimum price per square metre, and those figures are always labelled here as the portal’s.

The table below sets the on-site features the developer lists beside the longer description on Korter. Korter writes most of them in the future tense, which is how the guide reports them: as planned features of a building site and not as delivered facilities.

What each source prints about blocks, apartments, floors and handover

Public information on the project comes from the developer’s project and building pages, from its news items and from Korter, and the figures do not always agree. The table sets them side by side. Each cell gives the value and its source, and the guide does not decide which is right. The developer is quoted as “per the developer” with the page and the date it was seen, and Korter figures are “per Korter” with the date Korter prints.

Item Developer project and building pages (12 Nov 2026) Developer news Korter (page seen 12 Nov 2026; prices 26 Oct 2026)
Blocks Text: 8 houses; building pages: A, B, C; site-plan render marks A to H News of 11 and 29 April 2025: 8 buildings; construction under way on A, with B and C “set to begin shortly” (29 April 2025) “Total 4 houses”: A, B, C and a planned block D
Apartments 586 in A to C (168, 209, 209); 232 flats listed for sale “10 floors and 168 apartments” in the first building (29 July 2024) 167 apartments for the project and for block A; 65 listings for sale; no count for B and C
Floors A: 10; B and C: flats data up to floor 12 First building: 10 floors A: 10; B and C: 12 in the house list; project characteristics say 10
Handover None; end date empty for the complex and every block None A: Q4 2026; B and C: Q3 2027; D planned; A start Q3 2024
Sizes 28.0 to 138.9 m² across the listed flats None Layouts 28 to 138 m²; characteristics table 44.9 to 132.2 m²
3-room maximum 138.0 m² (three flats in block C) None 84.4 m²
Price None (flat price 0; share text invites an enquiry about the square-metre price) None From USD 995 per m²; every layout “price upon request”
Address N 38 Giorgi Leonidze st. 38 G. Leonidze Street (29 April 2025); New Rustavi (29 July 2024) Crossing of Leonidze and Cherkask streets; cadastral number 02.03.02.309

Some figures do reconcile. The 168 apartments of the first building in the July 2024 news equal the sold and for-sale counts of block A on the building page today (135 plus 33), and the three blocks add up to 586 whichever way the counts are summed. Korter prints 167 for block A, one fewer, and its project figure of 167 matches the size of block A alone, because the portal gives no apartment count for blocks B and C.

Others do not. The developer’s text speaks of eight houses and its pages list three; Korter counts four. The flats data has block A at 10 floors and blocks B and C at up to 12, while Korter’s characteristics table gives 10 floors for the project and its house list gives 12 for B and C.

The largest 3-room flats differ by 53.6 m² between the two sources, an effect traced in section 4. One flat in block A (number 6, floor 1, 81.4 m²) is typed as a 6-room flat in the data; the guide records it as printed and does not correct it.

On timing there is no conflict to report, because only one source prints dates. Korter’s quarters are a portal’s figures, not the developer’s, and the date that binds the developer is the one written into the sale contract. The cadastral number on the Korter table is shown as printed and is not checked against the Public Registry.

Construction log: blocks A, B and C from the foundation pit to October 2026

Each building page carries a dated progress log with a short list of finished and in-progress works. Block A has 21 entries from 11 November 2024 to 13 October 2026, and blocks B and C have 14 entries each between June 2025 and the same October 2026 post. The headline percentages (91, 70, 67) are the developer’s own, and the logs do not say how they are calculated. The table quotes selected entries as each page prints them.

Aerial site plan of Archi Rustavi marking blocks A to H
Log date Block A (10 floors) Block B (up to 12 floors) Block C (up to 12 floors)
11 Nov 2024 Foundation pit works completed; foundation works started No entry No entry

10 May 2026 Gas pipe distribution in the 10th-floor apartments completed; façade plastering on the 5th and 6th floors Columns of the 10th floor completed Floor slab of the 11th floor laid
8 Sep 2026 Roof insulation completed; doors and windows on floors 1 to 10 “in the process of completion” Blockwork around the 9th and 10th floor perimeters completed Internal blockwork on floors 6 to 9 completed; columns of the 12th floor in progress
13 Oct 2026 Perimeter blockwork, partitions, plastering and floor screeding on floors 1 to 10 completed; elevator installation completed; façade doors, windows and ventilated façade in progress Floor slabs and columns on floors 1 to 12 completed; perimeter blockwork on floors 1 to 10 completed, 11th in progress Floor slabs and columns on floors 1 to 11 completed; perimeter blockwork on floors 1 to 9 completed, 10th in progress

Read as a sequence, the log shows block A as the furthest along, with the structure complete to the roof and the work now in apartments, stairs, façade and elevators.

Blocks B and C follow the same pattern a stage behind: the structure of B is complete to floor 12 and that of C to floor 11, with perimeter blockwork complete to floor 10 in B and to floor 9 in C. The log gives no dates for what remains, so the percentages are the only summary the developer offers.

The sales counts on the same pages give a second view. The table repeats the developer’s numbers and adds two ratios calculated from them; the ratios are arithmetic on printed counts and are not a measure of demand or of progress.

Block Floors Progress Sold For sale Total Sold share (calculated) Parking spaces (flagged sold)
A 10 91% 135 33 168 80.4% 26 (16)
B up to 12 70% 138 71 209 66.0% 69 (12)
C up to 12 67% 81 128 209 38.8% 80 (10)
A to C 354 232 586 60.4% 175 (38)

The history behind the counts is short. Archi presented the complex publicly on 29 July 2024, with the founder, the mayor of Rustavi and a TBC Bank corporate director among the speakers, and said the first building would have 10 floors and 168 apartments.

On 26 April 2025 the developer held a sales day and reported 201 apartments sold in one day, a figure repeated by Georgia Today on 30 April 2025; its news of 29 April 2025 says the offers applied to the upcoming blocks B and C. The parking maps list 26 spaces for block A, 69 for B and 80 for C, which is 0.15, 0.33 and 0.38 spaces per apartment (calculated), or 0.30 for the three blocks together.

Parking is outside the apartment counts. Each space is numbered on the building page and flagged sold or not, so a buyer who wants a space should ask for it to be named in the contract with its number and level. Spaces for the later houses of the eight-house plan are not shown on these three pages.

Unit mix and sizes in the 232 apartments listed for sale

The building pages are backed by a public list of flats, and on 12 November 2026 it returned 232 flats: 33 in block A, 71 in B and 128 in C. None is flagged sold or booked and every one carries a price of 0.

For each flat the list gives the number, floor, room count, total area and a split into “living” and “summer” area; the page does not define “summer area”, so the guide uses the label as printed. The first table counts the listed flats by block and room count.

Archi Rustavi Georgia listed flats by block 1-room 2-room 3-room 4-room Other Total
Block A (floors 1 to 10) 0 14 8 10 1 (typed 6-room) 33
Block B (floors 2 to 12) 1 27 36 7 0 71
Block C (floors 2 to 12) 20 56 44 8 0 128
All three blocks 21 97 88 25 1 232

Korter labels the 28 m² layouts studios, while the flats list counts rooms and calls them 1-room; the pages do not say how many bedrooms a room count implies. The second table is calculated from the 232 listed flats: area range, mean and median per room count, and the living area as a share of the total.

Room count (calculated from the 232 listed flats) Flats Total area, m² Mean, m² Median, m² Living area, m² Living share of total
1-room 21 28.0 to 28.7 28.3 28.3 21.5 to 22.0 76.7%
2-room 97 47.6 to 66.2 55.3 54.8 34.6 to 52.9 77.1%
3-room 88 65.7 to 138.0 73.2 70.3 52.4 to 95.7 78.9%
4-room 25 92.3 to 138.9 129.9 138.0 72.2 to 96.6 70.2%
Typed 6-room 1 81.4 81.4 81.4 62.3 76.5%

The shape of the list is a middle-sized one. Two-room flats are the largest group at 41.8 percent of the 232 (97 flats), 3-room flats follow at 37.9 percent (88), 4-room flats are 10.8 percent (25) and the 28 m² flats are 9.1 percent (21), all calculated. Block C holds 20 of the 21 one-room flats and 56 of the 97 two-room flats, so its list is weighted to the smaller sizes, while block A lists none under 52.5 m².

Two differences from Korter come out of the arithmetic. Korter prints a 3-room maximum of 84.4 m², and in the developer’s list the 3-room flats reach 84.4 m² except for three flats of 138.0 m² in block C (numbers 10, 29 and 48, on floors 2, 3 and 4) that are typed as 3-room.

Korter lists 4-room sizes up to 138 m², so the two sources place 138 m² under different room counts. The second difference is the lower end of Korter’s characteristics table, 44.9 m², against 28.0 m² in the layouts and the flats list.

The 4-room flats split by block. Those in block A run from 92.3 to 133.2 m², and those in B and C sit between 138.0 and 138.9 m². The living share falls to 70.2 percent for 4-room flats because their “summer” area is 20.1 to 42.3 m², against 6.1 to 6.8 m² for the 28 m² flats.

Without a definition of the term, no conclusion about balconies or terraces is drawn. The list carries 111 distinct layout identifiers for the 232 flats, about two flats per layout on average (calculated).

For finish, the developer prints nothing on this page. Korter says the apartments are delivered with partial interior finishing, that owners choose the final materials, that every apartment has a balcony whose cost is in the price and that ceiling heights are increased, without giving a figure. Because the finish defines what a buyer pays for after purchase, section 9 lists the specification among the items to obtain in writing.

Price indications by source and date

The developer’s share text for the page says “Find out how much a square meter costs” and does not give the figure, and the flats list returns a price of 0 for every flat. The prices below therefore come from third parties. They are listing-site or commentary indications, are not Archi prices, and are not offers.

12-storey block of Archi Rustavi, developer render
Source and date What it prints What it covers
archi.ge, 12 November 2026 No price; every listed flat priced 0 All three blocks
Korter project page, prices “up to date as of 26 October 2026” From USD 995 per m²; every layout “price upon request”; 65 listings for sale Project minimum per m²; the page does not name the unit or block behind it
Commersant, 29 May 2025 Pre-sale apartments in Rustavi at USD 900 to 950 per m², and USD 1,000 “in some cases”, quoted from a board member of the National Real Estate Association Rustavi market commentary, not project-specific
Korter cards for other Rustavi projects, page seen 12 November 2026 From USD 750 to USD 1,100 per m², card dates not shown Other projects in the city; unit type and finish not shown

The Commersant article is a general comment on the Rustavi market, and the same text carries other per-square-metre sentences that do not match these figures, so only the pre-sale range is quoted. Korter’s USD 995 sits inside the USD 750 to 1,100 range that its other Rustavi cards show, but the cards carry no dates, unit types or finish levels, so the comparison is a range and not a ranking.

A per-square-metre minimum does not tell a buyer what a given flat costs. The next table multiplies Korter’s USD 995 by the smallest and largest listed areas in each room count, to show the order of magnitude. It is arithmetic and not a price list, and the lari figures use the National Bank of Georgia rate of GEL 2.5933 per USD for 12 November 2026.

Area at Korter’s minimum rate Flat represented USD at 995 per m² GEL at 2.5933 Against USD 150,000 (GEL 388,995)
28.0 m² Smallest 1-room 27,860 72,249 Below
47.6 m² Smallest 2-room 47,362 122,824 Below
65.7 m² Smallest 3-room 65,372 169,528 Below
92.3 m² Smallest 4-room 91,839 238,165 Below
138.9 m² Largest listed flat 138,206 358,408 Below

The residence rule in section 8 applies to property whose market value exceeds USD 150,000, as set by an assessor. At the portal’s minimum rate none of the listed areas reaches that level: the largest listed flat, 138.9 m², comes to USD 138,206. A flat of that size would exceed the threshold only at a rate above USD 1,080 per m² (150,000 divided by 138.9, calculated). The statutory test is the assessor’s valuation and not the contract price, so the table says nothing about any particular unit.

No official price series covers Rustavi in the sources checked. Geostat’s Residential Property Price Index for the third quarter of 2026 states that the index covers the market of new residential property in Tbilisi, and the guide to Tbilisi real estate prices is the place for Tbilisi comparisons.

Location of Archi Rustavi Georgia: New Rustavi and the road to Tbilisi

Rustavi is a city in the region of Kvemo Kartli in the south-east of Georgia, and the English Wikipedia article puts it 20 km south of the capital and gives a population of 127,154 for January 2024, which makes it the third most populous city in the country; the infobox of the same article prints 128,200 for 2024, and the two figures are shown as printed.

Courtyard fitness area and cycle path, developer render

Geostat’s population release for 1 January 2026 gives 440.1 thousand for Kvemo Kartli and 1,369.4 thousand for Tbilisi, out of 3,941.1 thousand in Georgia, and prints no figure for Rustavi alone.

The Rustavi City Hall page on geography and nature, which is in Georgian and is translated here, calls Rustavi the largest of the cities of Kvemo Kartli and the Tbilisi agglomeration and the administrative centre of the region.

It gives the city’s area as 6,060 hectares and says the Mtkvari divides it into a left bank, the settlement known as Old Rustavi, and a right bank, New Rustavi, joined by a bridge 1 km long. It places the city 27 km from the centre of the capital and 20 km from Tbilisi International Airport, and gives the shortest distance between the Tbilisi and Rustavi boundaries as 7.66 km.

On roads and rail the same page lists the S-4 highway from Tbilisi to the Red Bridge border with Azerbaijan, which passes through Rustavi, the 28 km route Sh-32 from Tbilisi via Gachiani, and the Tbilisi-Baku and Tbilisi-Yerevan railway lines across the city territory, with a station named Rustavi. Its climate note gives an average January temperature of +0.3 °C, +25.3 °C in July and about 390 mm of precipitation a year. Wikipedia says the Rustavi Metallurgical Plant, built in 1941-1950, dominates the city’s economy.

The developer describes the surroundings as a few minutes from Rustavi Central Park, supermarkets, the Rustavi Mall, two public schools, a swimming pool and the Istanbul market, with easy movement within the city and toward Tbilisi.

Korter’s text, which is the portal’s and not the developer’s, adds public transport stops within 250 m served by buses 5, 6, 7 and 24 and by several minibus routes, bus 24 reaching Tbilisi in under an hour, and the S4 highway about ten minutes by car. It puts the central market at 1 km, the mall under 1.5 km, the Mtkvari embankment just over 2 km and the railway station 4 km away.

The developer prints no distances, so the table below lists calculated ones. They run from the point that archi.ge gives for the complex (41.57087, 44.973324; the block A page prints 41.570952, 44.973324) to places whose coordinates are printed in the English Wikipedia articles listed in the last column. Road figures come from the public OSRM routing service in free-flow conditions on 12 November 2026. A mapped point is not a surveyed entrance, so the real walking distance will differ.

Nearby places and distances for Archi Rustavi Georgia What it is Straight line (calculated) By road (OSRM, free flow) Source

Central market, mall, railway station, bus stops As Korter lists them Not calculated Korter: 1 km, under 1.5 km, 4 km, within 250 m Korter

The pattern is a site north-west of the Wikipedia city point, toward Tbilisi, about 4 to 5 km by road from that point and about 24 km by road from Freedom Square.

The City Hall page gives 20 km from the city to the airport and the table gives 27 km by road from the site; they are different measures, the page does not state its basis, and both are shown. For comparison with the capital, the Tbilisi city page and the Georgia country page cover the other listings in the portfolio.

Buying in Georgia: from the registry extract to registered title

The developer’s pages print no purchase steps, so the order below follows Georgian law and the published registry fees. Under Article 183 of the Civil Code, a transaction to acquire an immovable thing must be in writing and the acquirer’s ownership right must be registered in the Public Registry. Ownership therefore arises on registration; payment, a reservation form or receiving keys does not create it by itself.

Children's playground in the courtyard, developer render

A foreign buyer signs under the same Civil Code rules as a citizen. Nationality matters for agricultural land, which Article 4 of the Organic Law on Agricultural Land Ownership limits to the persons it lists, and an apartment in a residential block is not agricultural land. The general position is set out in the guides on whether foreigners can buy property in Georgia and on how to buy property in Georgia.

The registry’s fee depends on the term chosen and not on the price. The NAPR fee page lists GEL 150 for registering a change of a right to immovable property within 4 working days, GEL 270 within 1 working day and GEL 350 on the day of filing, which at GEL 2.5933 per USD are about USD 57.8, USD 104.1 and USD 135.0.

It lists a separate service for registering an obligation related to an ownership right at the same three fees; which service applies to a flat that is not yet built is for the registry and the contract to confirm.

A buyer abroad has two practical 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. Georgia is listed in the Hague Conference’s Apostille Convention status table with entry into force on 14 May 2007.

Taxes, residence and financing for a foreign buyer

Property tax on individuals changed on 30 September 2026. The Tax Code text on matsne.gov.ge carries Law No. 1874 of 30 September 2026 in its amendment list. Article 202(5) now fixes the rate on a natural person’s taxable property other than land at not less than 0.8 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 if the income received by the person’s family in the previous year did not exceed GEL 100,000.

Underground parking level, developer render

The EY Georgia Tax and Law Brief for July to September 2026 reports the same change, says the exemption threshold was GEL 40,000 before it and says the rate is set within the 0.8 to 1 percent band according to the location of the property. Guides written before 30 September 2026 carry the older figures and no longer match the Code.

As an illustration only, the smallest 2-room flat at Korter’s minimum rate (USD 47,362, section 5) is GEL 122,824, and 0.8 to 1 percent of that would be GEL 983 to GEL 1,228 a year if the exemption did not apply; the market value used and the income test are set case by case.

Article 201(1)(c.a) lists real estate “including an unfinished construction” owned by a natural person, so the date from which a buyer under a pre-completion contract counts as the owner is a question for the contract and the registry record. The Revenue Service’s property tax page sets the individual’s return date at 1 November and payment at 15 November, moved to the next working day when either falls on a day off. How the return is filed is described in the guide to property tax in Georgia.

Other taxes are in the same Code. Article 81(2) taxes rent from residential space at 5 percent when no deductions are made, and Article 81(1) sets the general rate for a natural person at 20 percent. Article 81(3) taxes surplus income from selling a residential apartment at 5 percent, and Article 82(1)(f.a) exempts the surplus on a residential apartment owned for more than two years. The VAT rate under Article 166 is 18 percent, and whether a printed price includes VAT is a term of the contract.

For residence, the Public Service Development Agency page 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 established by a certified assessor, and an investment residence permit for property exceeding USD 300,000.

The Law on the Legal Status of Aliens and Stateless Persons states the first threshold in the same terms. The application route is covered in the residence permit guide. At the portal’s minimum rate no listed flat exceeds USD 150,000 (section 5), and the test remains the assessor’s valuation.

For borrowing, the PTI and LTV page of the National Bank of Georgia caps the loan-to-value ratio at 90 percent for lari loans and 70 percent for foreign-currency loans. The payment-to-income limit is 25 percent for lari loans and 20 percent for foreign-currency loans where monthly net income is under GEL 1,500, rising to 50 and 30 percent from GEL 1,500.

Korter says buyers can pay in a single payment or with a mortgage and names TBC Bank; the developer prints no instalment plan, and each bank sets its own terms for non-residents. The guide on mortgages for foreigners in Georgia covers the practice.

What to ask for in writing before reserving

Because archi.ge leaves price, handover and the contracting entity unpublished, the list below turns each gap into something a buyer of Archi Rustavi Georgia can request before paying. A few belong in the reservation form, and the remainder should appear in the sale agreement.

Archi Rustavi blocks at night, developer render
  1. The price list with block, floor, flat number, area and finish package, and the date the list was issued.
  2. The handover date for the block in question written in the contract, what counts as handover, and the consequence of a different date.
  3. The full legal name and registration details of the entity that signs the contract, and the plot it builds on.
  4. A Public Registry extract for the plot, the cadastral code and the street address, matched to the contract.
  5. The construction permit for the block and the approved floor count, since the sources print 10 and 12 for blocks B and C.
  6. The payment schedule, the account or escrow that receives every instalment, and how a deposit is returned if the sale does not proceed.
  7. The finish specification: what “partial interior finishing” covers, the ceiling height, and whether the balcony is in the price.
  8. The room typing and area of the exact flat, especially for the 138 m² flats typed 3-room and the flat typed 6-room.
  9. The parking space number and level, its price, and whether it is sold with or apart from the flat.
  10. The service-charge schedule, the management arrangements and the rules for the shared courtyard and facilities.
  11. Which of the listed amenities (kindergarten, sports ground, fitness centre, commercial ground floors) are in the contract specification and when each is due.
  12. How construction of the remaining planned houses is sequenced against the block being bought.
  13. For a buyer who signs from abroad: the wording of the legalised power of attorney, or a booked virtual meeting with the registry.

How Archi Rustavi Georgia compares with the other Archi projects

Archi Rustavi Georgia is, in the developer’s words, Archi’s first project in Rustavi (news of 29 April 2025), so none of the other Archi listings in this portfolio is in the same city.

Location map of Archi Rustavi with nearby facilities

The table lists the Archi listings in Tbilisi, the capital 20 to 27 km away depending on the source, with the status that archi.ge shows and the main published information. The developer prints no price in any of them, and the per-square-metre figures are Korter’s. They carry different dates and cities and are not a like-for-like comparison.

Project City and area Status per archi.ge (12 Nov 2026) Published information
Archi Guramishvili Tbilisi Tbilisi, Sanzona, near Ghrmaghele metro Under construction, 87 percent No handover on archi.ge; Korter Q1 2027 and from USD 1,151 per m² (25 October 2026)
Archi Panorama Tbilisi Tbilisi, Saburtalo, Vashlijvari Under construction, 33 percent No handover on archi.ge; Korter Q2 2027 and from USD 1,240 per m² (26 October 2026)
Archi Dighomi 3 Tbilisi Tbilisi, Didi Dighomi Blocks A and B completed; C and D at 48 percent No handover on archi.ge; Korter from USD 1,250 per m² (25 October 2026)
Archi Akhmeteli Tbilisi Tbilisi, Gldani Blocks A and B at 99 percent; C at 13 percent No handover on archi.ge; Korter from USD 1,400 per m² (25 October 2026)
Archi Kikvidze Garden Tbilisi Tbilisi, Nadzaladevi Block A completed; B at 99, C at 44, D at 0 percent No handover on archi.ge; Korter from USD 1,400 per m² (26 October 2026)
Archi Lilacs Tbilisi Tbilisi, Mukhiani, Gldani district Blocks A and B completed; C at 3 percent No handover on archi.ge; Korter from USD 1,160 per m² (22 September 2026)

Among the projects in the table, the Rustavi one is the only one outside the capital and the only one for which Korter prints a minimum below USD 1,000 per m². The figure of USD 995 against USD 1,151 to 1,400 for the Tbilisi projects shows the gap the portal prints between the two cities and makes no statement about value.

For a Black Sea comparison by another developer, the Kobuleti Beach Resort listing is a presale with a published instalment plan, a different kind of purchase from a block that is already under construction.

Archi (developer)

Archi dates its history to 2006. Its news item “Archi Turns 15” of 4 July 2021 names Ilia Tsulaia, Meni Benish and Irakli Kapianidze as the founders and says the company joined the development industry in 2008.

The About page, seen on 12 November 2026, shows counters of 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 long text on the same page is older and still gives 51 projects and 1,058,723 m², so the counters and the text come from different dates.

In June 2024 the developer announced an agreement under which Deloitte would audit the consolidated IFRS financial statements of Archi and its subsidiaries. The About text also says the company built a Ytong block factory with the German company Xella with an investment of USD 15 million; the Archi Rustavi page lists Ytong block among its materials. No total of apartments delivered is published; Archi gives residents and square metres.

For Rustavi, the developer reports the public presentation on 29 July 2024, speeches by its founder, the Rustavi mayor and a TBC Bank director, and calls the scheme its first in the city. The company’s own statements about its rank are not repeated here, because no independent ranking was found in the sources checked. Contact details are on the developer’s own site, and the sale documents name the contracting party.

Frequently asked questions

What is Archi Rustavi Georgia?

It is a residential complex by Archi at 38 Giorgi Leonidze Street in Rustavi, near the Leonidze and Cherkaski street intersection. The developer’s pages list blocks A, B and C of 10 to 12 floors, 586 apartments in all, and a plan for eight houses around a 10,000 m² green yard with a kindergarten and parking. Construction progress on 12 November 2026 is 91, 70 and 67 percent for the three blocks.

Where is Archi Rustavi Georgia and how far is Tbilisi?

The complex is in New Rustavi, a separate city in Kvemo Kartli. Calculated from the point archi.ge gives for the site, Freedom Square in Tbilisi is 24.08 km by road, about 25 minutes in free flow. Rustavi City Hall puts the city 27 km from the capital centre, and Korter says the drive takes under 40 minutes. Bus 24 reaches Tbilisi in under an hour, per Korter.

How many apartments and blocks are there?

The building pages for A, B and C show 168, 209 and 209 apartments, 586 in all, with 354 marked sold and 232 for sale. The developer’s text speaks of eight houses, and a site-plan render marks blocks A to H. Korter counts four houses, with block D planned, and prints 167 apartments, which equals the size of block A.

What does an apartment cost?

The developer prints no price, and the flats list returns 0 for every flat. Korter prints a minimum of USD 995 per m² dated 26 October 2026 and “price upon request” for each layout. Commersant quoted a Rustavi pre-sale range of USD 900 to 950 per m² on 29 May 2025. These are portal and commentary figures, not Archi prices, and the contract price list is the only binding one.

When will the blocks be handed over?

The developer prints no handover date for the complex or any block. Korter prints Q4 2026 for block A and Q3 2027 for blocks B and C, with block D planned. The date that counts is the one written in the sale contract, together with what handover means for a flat delivered with partial interior finishing and the stated consequence of a different date.

What sizes and layouts are on sale?

The 232 listed flats range from 28.0 to 138.9 m²: 21 one-room, 97 two-room, 88 three-room, 25 four-room and one typed six-room flat. The median two-room flat is 54.8 m² and the median three-room flat 70.3 m², calculated. Korter prints narrower ranges, for example 84.4 m² as the largest 3-room flat, which is explained by three 138 m² flats in block C typed 3-room.

Can buying in Archi Rustavi Georgia lead to a Georgian residence permit?

Georgia issues a short-term residence permit to an alien who holds title to property other than agricultural land with a market value exceeding USD 150,000 equivalent in lari, as set by a certified assessor. At Korter’s minimum of USD 995 per m², none of the listed areas reaches that level (138.9 m² comes to USD 138,206). The valuation, not the contract price, decides, and no outcome is implied here.

Can a foreigner buy an apartment there and how is ownership registered?

The Civil Code requires a written agreement and registration of the acquirer’s right in the Public Registry, and residential apartments are not agricultural land, which is the category with nationality limits. NAPR lists registration fees of GEL 150, 270 or 350 depending on the term, and a buyer abroad can use a legalised power of attorney or the registry’s virtual smart-contract meeting.

What tax applies to owning and selling?

Since 30 September 2026 an individual’s property other than land is exempt from property tax if family income in the previous year did not exceed GEL 100,000; above that the Code sets 0.8 to 1 percent of market value. Rent on residential space is taxed at 5 percent without deductions, and the surplus on selling an apartment owned for more than two years is exempt. Contract and registry facts decide individual cases.

What should I ask for before reserving at Archi Rustavi Georgia?

Ask for the price list with flat numbers, the handover date in the contract, the legal name of the contracting entity, a Public Registry extract for the plot, the permit and floor count of the block, the payment schedule and escrow details, the finish specification, the parking space number and the service-charge schedule. Section 9 gives the full list of thirteen requests.
