Description

Gumbati Montemar Batumi is a three-block, 16-storey hotel-type complex that the developer Gumbati Group places in Gonio, south of Batumi, where the developer’s own flat selector lists 720 flats on 13 November 2026, 383 of them not marked as sold.

Gumbati Montemar Batumi render: blocks A, B and C seen from the beach, Gonio

This guide to Gumbati Montemar Batumi reads the developer’s project page, its public flat selector and four listing sites as they stood on 13 November 2026. Handover, unit totals, down payment and distances differ between those sources, so each figure is shown with its source and date and none is picked as the right one.

It adds a floor-by-floor look at the selector’s prices per square metre, the payment terms as printed, what Gonio means for access, the Georgian rules on buying, tax and residence, and a list of what a buyer can ask for in writing.

Overview of Gumbati Montemar Batumi

The developer’s project page on gumbati.ge describes Montemar as a multifunctional, hotel-type 16-storey complex in Gonio, near Batumi, with three blocks. Block A serves as a hotel, Block B as an apart-hotel, and Block C as apartments, either fully renovated or in a near-completion condition that the page defines as 70 percent of the repair work done. The page lists studios, one-bedroom units, two-bedroom units and two-bedroom units with a pool on the balcony.

Montemar render at dusk: two tall blocks with rooftop terraces above the beach

The page prints a headline of “Apartments from $100 000”, a 20 percent initial payment and a 48-month instalment. It prints no handover date, no total number of flats and no construction percentage. Its construction-stage photo set carries the date 14 March 2024. Everything else in this guide about the number of flats, prices per flat and handover comes from the flat selector, which is dated 2024 and 2025 in its record stamps, or from listing sites.

Gonio is not a separate city on the developer’s site, which files the project under Batumi: the map label reads “Andria Pirveltsotebuli 89, Gonio, Batumi”. Section 7 explains the district and what the location means for access. The sections that follow keep three kinds of figure apart: what the developer prints, what its selector shows, and what listing sites add.

What each source prints about status, handover, blocks, floors and units

Five public pages say something about when Montemar will be finished. The developer’s page is not one of them. Its text, its payment icons and its structured data carry no date for handover, so the table below starts with that absence and then sets out the listing sites in the order of their dates. A different date on an older page is a fact about that page and does not describe the project today.

December 2027 Batumi Residence Posted 12 Jun 2024

The pages of September to November 2026 agree on the fourth quarter of 2028 or on 2028. The June 2024 listing prints December 2027 and also prints a 30 percent down payment, the same older state of the offer. A buyer who sees December 2027 on a portal is looking at a page that is more than two years old. The date that binds is the one in the contract.

Structure and size are described in different ways as well. The developer and Korter both say 16 floors per block and three blocks. batumi.estate prints “Floors 11” and “2 buildings” in its parameter box while its description speaks of a mid-rise building. The Forbes Georgia article, which is labelled a paid placement, and Parametric Architecture both describe 16 storeys and three blocks on about one hectare.

Distance to the sea Not printed 50 m batumi.estate: 50 m; realestatebatumi.ge: about 80 m across the coastal road
Street number Map label 89 87g batumi.estate: 87g

Two things follow from the table. First, the 720 records are far above the 570 flats that Korter and realestatebatumi.ge describe, and the gap is not explained on any page. The selector counts Block B as 450 records, which is 15 floors of 30; Block C is 270, which is 15 floors of 18. Second, the three numbers of flats for sale, 383, 197 and 199, count different things on different dates, which section 3 sets out.

The developer page labels its three apartment types with 34.2 m² for a studio, 54.3 m² for a one-bedroom and 169.3 m² for a two-bedroom, with no word saying whether these are smallest, typical or largest. The selector has studios from 32.4 m² and two-bedroom flats up to 162.9 m². The largest figure on the page and the largest in the selector therefore differ by 6.4 m², and a written price list with an area for each unit number settles it.

The flat selector on 13 November 2026: 720 records, two blocks and five groups

The developer’s project page loads a flat selector from a public data service. A plain request to the selector data feed on 13 November 2026 returned 720 flat records for the project, each with a flat number, block, floor, area, a status field and a price field. That is the only developer data on this site with prices per flat, and this guide reads it as it is: a list with record dates, not a live sales ledger.

The record stamps matter. Of the 720 records, 667 were last updated in March 2025, 48 in November 2024 and 5 in April 2025, and none carries a later stamp. The page header says nothing about the date of the prices, and the status field has only two values: “sold” and empty. This guide therefore writes “marked sold” and “not marked sold” and does not call the second group available, reserved or on sale.

Block (selector, 13 Nov 2026) Records Marked sold Not marked sold Share marked sold Not marked sold with a price
Block B (apart-hotel) 450 268 182 59.6% 180
Block C 270 69 201 25.6% 200
Total 720 337 383 46.8% 380
Block A (hotel) No flats in the selector – – – –

Three flats not marked sold carry no price: B 1011, B 1206 and C 414. The records also hold a field named hide_price. It is empty or 0 in every record on 13 November 2026, so no price is hidden by that flag; where a price is missing, the price field itself is empty. The finish field is empty in all 720 records, so the selector does not say which flat is near-completion and which is fully renovated.

The records fall into five groups by block and type, using the type classes the selector carries. Studios dominate: 645 of the 720 records are studios, 405 in Block B and 240 in Block C. The classes are the developer’s own, and the studio class includes layouts up to 67.4 m² in Block C, larger than the compact units the word suggests elsewhere.

Block and type (selector) Records Marked sold Not marked sold Area m² (not marked sold) Price (not marked sold) USD per m² (calculated)
Block B: Studio 405 245 160 32.4 to 45.5 USD 90,630 to 165,360 2,550 to 4,050
Block B: One bedroom 15 11 4 58.7 to 72.1 USD 183,855 to 237,930 2,550 to 3,763
Block B: Two bedrooms / two-room 30 12 18 89.1 to 162.9 USD 227,205 to 602,730 2,550 to 4,050
Block C: Studio 240 67 173 32.6 to 67.4 USD 92,910 to 205,570 2,450 to 3,200
Block C: Two bedrooms / two-room 30 2 28 76.7 to 107 USD 203,255 to 304,950 2,450 to 3,200

Prices per m² in the last column are calculated by dividing the price by the area of each flat, because the price-per-m² field is empty in all records. In Block B the one-bedroom class has only 15 records, of which four are not marked sold, so the selector offers few one-bedroom flats there; two-bedroom flats in Block B reach 162.9 m².

Korter on 25 October 2026 counts 120 flats for sale in Block B and 77 in Block C, and batumi.estate on 12 November 2026 counts 199 in total, with 166 one-room, 25 three-room, 5 two-room and 3 studio flats under its own class names. Those counts are far below the selector’s 383. They come from the agencies’ own lists, which may include only flats an agency can offer, and the sources do not say.

Price per m² floor by floor: the ladder in Blocks B and C

The most detailed price information about Gumbati Montemar Batumi is the pattern inside the selector. The price of a flat there is not one rate per block: it climbs with the floor. The two tables show, for each floor, how many of the 30 Block B records or 18 Block C records are marked sold and the lowest and highest price per m² among the flats not marked sold. All figures are calculated from the selector of 13 November 2026.

Block B first. It starts at USD 2,550 per m² on floors 2 and 3 and ends at USD 4,050 per m² on floor 15. The lowest rate on each floor rises from 2,550 to 3,350, a rise of 31.4 percent, and the highest from 2,900 to 4,050, a rise of 39.7 percent. Floors 4 to 8 and floor 16 are marked sold in every record, so the selector lists nothing there.

Block B floor Records Marked sold Not marked sold Lowest USD per m² Highest USD per m²
2 30 18 12 2,550 2,900
3 30 16 14 2,550 3,036

9 30 15 15 2,750 3,300
10 30 10 20 2,650 3,350
11 30 8 22 2,800 3,426
12 30 8 22 2,750 3,500
13 30 4 26 3,000 3,600

15 30 0 30 3,350 4,050
16 30 30 0 none listed none listed

Block C is lower and steadier. Its lowest rate on floor 2 is USD 2,450 per m² and its highest on floor 16 is USD 3,200 per m². The low end rises 20.4 percent from floor 2 to floor 16 and the high end 25.5 percent. In both blocks the band on a single floor is narrow: on Block C floor 16 every priced flat sits between USD 2,950 and 3,200 per m².

Block C floor Records Marked sold Not marked sold Lowest USD per m² Highest USD per m²
2 18 8 10 2,450 2,550

4 18 7 11 2,500 2,600

15 18 0 18 2,950 3,150
16 18 0 18 2,950 3,200

The mean rate for flats not marked sold and carrying a price is USD 3,364 per m² in Block B and USD 2,879 in Block C, with medians of USD 3,387 and USD 2,900. Block B is therefore about 16.8 percent above Block C on the mean. The mean floor of the flats not marked sold is 10.9 in Block B and 10.2 in Block C, so the floor mix explains only a small part of that gap, and the pages give no reason for the rest.

The clearest evidence of a floor ladder is the same layout at different heights. The smallest studio in Block B has an area of 32.4 m². On floor 13 it is listed at USD 110,160 and on floor 14 at USD 113,400, which is USD 3,400 and USD 3,500 per m². The smallest studio in Block C has 32.6 m²: the selector prices it at USD 92,910 on floor 9, USD 94,540 on floor 10 and USD 101,060 on floor 14.

Same layout, different floor Flat Floor Area m² Price USD USD per m² (calculated)
Block B studio B 1302 13 32.4 110,160 3,400
Block B studio B 1402 14 32.4 113,400 3,500
Block C studio C 917 9 32.6 92,910 2,850
Block C studio C 1017 10 32.6 94,540 2,900
Block C studio C 1114 11 32.6 96,170 2,950
Block C studio C 1214 12 32.6 97,800 3,000
Block C studio C 1314 13 32.6 99,430 3,050
Block C studio C 1414 14 32.6 101,060 3,100

In Block C the step is USD 1,630 per floor for the 32.6 m² layout, which is USD 50 per m² per floor. Each rung adds between 1.6 and 1.8 percent to the price of the floor below. The selector is silent on why: view, height and sea orientation are the usual reasons on other projects, but no page here gives one, so none is assumed.

Two cautions apply. First, these are 2025-stamped records. A flat listed at USD 92,910 in the selector may carry a different price on a 2026 list, and the agencies’ 2026 from-prices show that they do differ. Second, the headline “from $100 000” on the page does not match any floor in the ladder: 41 of the 380 priced flats not marked sold are listed at USD 100,000 or less, and 339 are above it.

Read as a method, the ladder tells a buyer what to ask: the unit number, the floor, the area on which the price is charged and the date of the price list. A buyer comparing two studios in Block C at USD 92,910 and USD 101,060 is comparing floor 9 with floor 14 of the same plan, and the written price list should show which.

Price indications by source and date, and the payment terms as printed

No page gives one price for the whole project. The table collects every figure that can be read publicly, with the date each page carries. The selector and the Korter and realestatebatumi.ge from-prices cover different groups of flats on different dates; a change between two rows is a fact about two pages and not a statement about a decision of the developer.

The lowest developer-record price, USD 90,630, is below the USD 100,000 headline, and the Korter and realestatebatumi.ge from-price of USD 82,478 is below both. batumi.estate splits the smaller flats into a “studio” class from USD 120,450 (3 flats) and a “1-room” class from USD 98,010 (166 flats) under its own class names. This guide shows each figure and does not choose between them.

The developer page prints the payment terms as icons: a 20 percent initial payment and a 48-month instalment. The statistics block on the gumbati.ge home page shows “0%” under a label for the instalment fee. The page does not print a monthly amount, a schedule of milestones or the effective cost, so these are the first items for the written offer. The table sets the sources side by side.

Payment term Developer page (13 Nov 2026) Korter (25 Oct 2026) realestatebatumi.ge (Sept-Oct 2026) Batumi Residence (12 Jun 2024)

The 20 percent and 30 percent initial payments are not a conflict between two pages of the same date. They are the figures printed on pages of 2026 and 2024. The table that follows shows what 20 percent and 48 equal interest-free instalments would mean on five prices that appear in the sources. It is an illustration built on assumptions the developer has not confirmed, with no fee or discount, and it is not a payment schedule.

Korter 3-room from-price 198,270 39,654 158,616 3,305 514,213

The lari column uses the National Bank of Georgia official rate of USD 1 = GEL 2.5935 on 13 November 2026. The contract, not the page, fixes the currency of payment.

Bank loans are a separate route: the National Bank of Georgia sets a loan-to-value limit of 90 percent for lari loans and 70 percent for foreign-currency loans. The TBC figures on Korter are a calculator illustration whose actual rate is set at approval, and no page on tbcbank.ge naming Montemar was found, so no bank partnership is stated here. Eligibility for non-residents is explained in the guide to mortgages for foreigners in Georgia.

Finish levels, amenities and the hotel-type operation as printed

The developer offers the flats in two conditions: near-completion, which its page defines as 70 percent of the repair work done and labels with the word premium, and fully renovated. Listing sites add a third, green frame, meaning a basic shell. The selector does not say which flat is in which condition, so the finish is a question for the price list and the contract. The table sets out what each source says is included.

Finish item Developer page Korter realestatebatumi.ge
Levels offered Near-completion and fully renovated Green frame, premium frame, fully renovated Green frame, premium frame, fully renovated
What “near-completion” means 70 percent of the repair work completed Premium frame: 70 percent of renovation done About 70 percent of finishing done

Lifts OTIS and MITSUBISHI OTIS, KONE or Mitsubishi Not captured
Walls and facade Ventilated facade with thermal insulation, isoblock walls, glass railings Monolithic frame, ventilated panels Not captured

The shared facilities are described in more detail than the finish. The developer lists a spa centre, a restaurant and cafe, an outdoor pool on the top-floor terrace, an indoor pool, a casino, a shared workspace, conference halls, a lounge and entertainment areas for children and adults. Korter adds a fitness centre, a terrace bar, underground parking, security with round-the-clock video surveillance and a concierge. One point is disputed.

Facility Developer page Korter realestatebatumi.ge Press pieces (Dec 2024)
Outdoor pool Top-floor terrace Outdoor pool and terrace bar Rooftop pool and terrace bar Rooftop pool

Casino Listed Not listed Listed, in one block Not listed
Parking Not listed Underground parking About 300 underground spaces Not listed
Balcony pools In some two-bedroom units Apartments with balcony pools Selected two-bedroom units only Private balcony pools

The indoor pool is a plain conflict: the developer’s page says yes and realestatebatumi.ge says no. The same goes for which flats get a balcony pool, which the developer limits to some two-bedroom units. Neither point can be settled from outside, and the written specification should name every shared facility, the block that holds it and whether residents of Block C may use the facilities of the other blocks.

The operating model is where the three blocks differ. The developer says Block A serves as a hotel and Block B as an apart-hotel. It does not name an operator for either, does not name a hotel brand, and does not say who will run Block A. Gumbati’s apart-hotel page states that since 2019 the group has offered hotel-type services in its residential projects and that two facilities of its project “Gumbati Apartotel” operate in Batumi.

For apartment owners the Montemar page says that all owners join an electronic management system, that a management company also maintains the complex’s infrastructure, and that owner and company sign a “management contract” under which the company undertakes the rental service. The page also prints a fee rate for these services. Because that rate belongs to a rental arrangement, this guide does not repeat it, and the contract text is the reference for what is charged and by whom.

The developer’s FAQ page lists the services the group says it supervises in common areas: lighting, cleaning, lifts, video surveillance, round-the-clock security, apartment management, concierge, administration and laundry. Whether those apply to Montemar and who pays for each is a service-charge question for the contract. No announcement by a hotel brand about Montemar was found on any brand’s own site.

Location of Gumbati Montemar Batumi: Gonio in the Gonio-Kvariati district of Batumi

The developer says Montemar is “located in Gonio, near Batumi” and marks it on the Tsminda Andria Pirveltsodebuli Highway at map coordinates 41.5561 north, 41.5656 east. The Wikipedia entry for Gonio says Gonio is a settlement south of Batumi, in the Gonio-Kvariati district of the city, on the left side of the Chorokhi river, and that after Batumi expanded its borders in 2011 it fell within the city’s administrative boundaries. In 2002 the settlement had 2,886 residents.

So the placement has two layers. In administrative terms Gonio lies in Batumi municipality, and batumi.estate files the flat under the district Gonio-Kvariati. In everyday terms Gonio is a separate seaside settlement about 14 to 15 km from the centre by the sources’ figures, and the developer, Korter and realestatebatumi.ge all call the project Gonio. Forbes Georgia, in one article, calls it both a seaside town and a retreat in Batumi.

Batumi itself had 246,300 residents in 2026 per Wikipedia: Batumi, which cites Geostat. Gonio’s 2002 census figure of 2,886 is a small fraction of that, and a buyer should expect the surroundings of Montemar to be a resort settlement and not a city district. Korter lists a kindergarten, a school, a pharmacy and shop cluster, cafes, a public beach, a paragliding centre and a football field within a few minutes’ drive. Those are the portal’s statements and no distances are printed for them.

Access is where Gonio differs most from central Batumi. The Wikipedia: Sarpi describes the Sarpi crossing as the main land border crossing between Georgia and Turkey, about 12 km south of Batumi. The straight-line distance from the developer’s marker to the Wikipedia coordinates of Sarpi is about 4.0 km, so Montemar lies between Batumi and the border. No source gives queue times at the crossing, and none is stated here.

The airport lies the other way. Wikipedia: Batumi International Airport says Batumi International Airport, named after Alexander Kartveli, is 2 km south of Batumi. Korter says 15 minutes by car and realestatebatumi.ge 12 minutes, which are the agencies’ own estimates. The straight-line distance to the Wikipedia coordinates is about 6.7 km. Central Batumi is 14 km and about 30 minutes by car per Korter, and about 17 minutes per realestatebatumi.ge, and 15 to 20 minutes per batumi.estate.

The Gonio Fortress entry describes the fortress as a Roman fortification at the mouth of the Chorokhi river, 15 km south of Batumi. The agencies cite it as a landmark near the project. The country’s population was 3,941.1 thousand on 1 January 2026 per Geostat, so Batumi’s 246,300 is about 6 percent of it, a calculation that gives scale and says nothing about Gonio itself.

Where the pages disagree, the table shows both. The developer’s street number is 89 and the listing sites print 87g, and the 50 m and 80 m figures for the sea depend on whether the coastal road is counted. A registry extract for the plot, described in section 8, settles the address, and a measured distance to the beach is a question for the seller.

Buying in Georgia: ownership, registration, tax, residence and financing

A foreigner can hold an apartment in Georgia in the same way as a citizen. The restricted category is agricultural land, which Article 4 of the Organic Law on Agricultural Land Ownership limits to the state, municipalities, citizens and certain Georgian entities, and a flat in a block is not that.

The developer’s page says a citizen of any country may register property as an individual or a legal entity. Background reading is in the guides on whether foreigners can buy property in Georgia and how to buy property in Georgia.

Two conditions make the transfer of an immovable thing valid under Civil Code, Article 183: a written transaction and the entry of the acquirer’s right in the Public Registry. The developer’s page describes its own order of steps in three parts: signing the agreement, transferring the amount to the company’s current account, and registering the property in the buyer’s name at the House of Justice, which the page says takes about 30 minutes. It adds that purchase from abroad by power of attorney is possible.

The registry’s published fees depend on speed, not on the price of the flat. Registering a change of right or an obligation tied to an ownership right costs GEL 150 in four working days, GEL 270 in one working day and GEL 350 on the day of filing (NAPR fees). At GEL 2.5935 per USD on 13 November 2026 they come to about USD 57.8, 104.1 and 135.0. The developer’s page does not say which of these speeds its figure of 30 minutes refers to.

A buyer who is not in Georgia has two usual options. An apostilled power of attorney is accepted; the Hague Conference status table records that the Apostille Convention took effect for Georgia on 14 May 2007. The registry also offers an online NAPR smart-contract service with a booked virtual meeting. Which of the two the seller prefers should be settled before any payment.

Property tax for individuals changed on 30 September 2026: the English Tax Code on matsne.gov.ge lists Law No. 1874 of that date among its amendments. Article 202(5) puts the rate on a natural person’s taxable property other than land at 0.8 to 1 percent of its market value at the end of the previous year. Article 206(1)(a) exempts it when the family income of the previous year was GEL 100,000 or less.

The EY Georgia tax and law brief for July to September 2026 gives the previous exemption limit as GEL 40,000, which is why older guides quote other bands. Under Article 205 an individual files by 1 November and pays by 15 November. The Revenue Service page offers a calculator, and the guide to property tax in Georgia explains filing.

Rent and resale are taxed separately. Article 81 sets 5 percent on residential rent received without deductions and on the surplus from supplying a residential apartment, against a general rate of 20 percent, and Article 82(1)(f.a) leaves out the surplus on an apartment held for over two years.

On residence, the Public Service Development Agency describes a short-term permit for a foreigner holding title to non-agricultural property with a market value “exceeding USD 150 000 equivalent in GEL”, fixed by a certified assessor, and an investment permit above USD 300,000. The Law on the Legal Status of Aliens and Stateless Persons states the same test in the same words. Exceeding means more than: a flat assessed at exactly USD 150,000 does not pass.

Applied to the selector, 65 of the 380 priced flats not marked sold are listed above USD 150,000 (26 in Block B and 39 in Block C), and no record is priced at exactly USD 150,000. That is a statement about list prices from 2025. The assessed market value, not the contract price, decides the test, and a studio near USD 100,000 is below it. USD 150,000 is about GEL 389,025 at the rate above. The guide to getting a residence permit in Georgia gives the steps.

Item Rule Source
Property tax, individual 0.8 to 1 percent of the year-end market value; nothing due if the preceding year’s family income was GEL 100,000 or less; return by 1 November, payment by 15 November Tax Code arts. 202(5), 205, 206(1)(a)
Rent received, individual 5 percent on residential rent without deductions; general rate 20 percent Tax Code art. 81
Selling an apartment 5 percent on the surplus; surplus excluded where the apartment was held longer than two years Tax Code arts. 81(3), 82(1)(f.a)
Short-term residence permit Non-agricultural property with an assessed market value exceeding USD 150,000 equivalent in GEL SDA residence permits
Investment residence permit Property exceeding USD 300,000 equivalent in GEL SDA residence permits
Mortgage limits Loan to value 90 percent (GEL) and 70 percent (foreign currency) NBG PTI and LTV

The rules are given as published on the dates read, and a lawyer’s reading of the actual contract remains the safeguard. Whether an off-plan purchaser already counts as holder of the property for the tax depends on the contract and the registry record.

What to ask for in writing before reserving

The developer’s page prints a headline price, a 20 percent initial payment and a 48-month instalment, and the selector prints prices stamped 2024 and 2025. A reservation at Gumbati Montemar Batumi needs more than that. Each item below is a normal request that a buyer can make before paying a deposit, and each follows from a gap in the tables above.

  1. The price list with unit numbers, floors, areas and the exact price of the flat, dated, in the currency of the contract, and a statement of the area on which the price is charged.
  2. The block of the flat and its use: the written difference between Block B, the apart-hotel, and Block C, and what a buyer in each block may and may not do with the flat.
  3. The handover date written into the contract, the definition of handover, and what the contract provides if the date is not met. The developer page prints none.
  4. The full legal name and registration details of the entity that signs the sale contract and receives payment, and its link to the owner of the plot.
  5. The building permit and the permitted number of blocks, floors and flats, so that the 720 records, the 570 and the 317 on listing sites can be matched to a document.
  6. A Public Registry extract for the plot and the cadastral number of the unit. Listing sites print different cadastral numbers, and none is repeated here because none has been checked.
  7. The payment schedule with the initial payment, each instalment and its date, whether the 48-month plan carries interest in effect, and any fee or surcharge.
  8. How payments are held: a payment account or direct payment to the developer, and the receipt given for each payment.
  9. The finish of the specific flat: green frame, near-completion with the list of the 70 percent done, or fully renovated, and what the price already includes.
  10. The exact specification of the shared facilities, including whether an indoor pool exists, which block holds each facility and whether Block C residents may use them.
  11. Who operates Block A and Block B, the written terms of any management contract, the charges, and whether the contract is optional.
  12. The service-charge arrangement for lifts, security, concierge, cleaning, parking and the shared facilities, and whether parking is sold with the flat or separately.
  13. Whether a mortgage with a named bank is available for this project. The company-level FAQ speaks of partner banks without naming one, so the bank’s own confirmation is the evidence.
  14. The way ownership is registered after handover and the split of registry costs between buyer and seller.

The answers should be in the contract or in a signed schedule to it, since a web page can change without notice. Before a reservation form is signed, its terms on refunding the deposit should be read.

How Gumbati Montemar Batumi sits among the other Gumbati projects and nearby Gonio and Kvariati listings

The developer’s Current list holds five projects. The table sets Montemar beside the other four using the data read on 13 November 2026 for the guides on this site. Montemar is the only one that the developer places in Gonio, and the only one with three blocks. The figures are the developer’s unless stated, and the table does not rank the projects.

Gumbati project Place Structure as printed Status and stock, 13 Nov 2026
Gumbati Montemar Batumi (this page) Gonio, Batumi municipality 16 floors, three blocks, 720 selector records 383 not marked sold; handover not printed
Gumbati Strada Batumi Batumi, Khimshiashvili district 31 floors per the developer Under construction; Korter counts 66 flats for sale in Block A (25 Oct 2026); the developer’s selector returns no data
Gumbati Midtown Batumi Batumi, Rustaveli district 14 storeys; 57 apartments plus commercial space per the developer’s brochure Selector lists 61 flats: 7 available, 2 reserved, 52 sold
Gumbati Portline Batumi Batumi, Old Part, Makatsaria Street 23 floors, 309 apartments per the developer Selector: 6 available, 23 reserved, 271 sold
Gumbati Boulevard Point Batumi Batumi, New Boulevard area 15-storey apart-hotel, 377 apartments per the developer Selector: 7 available, 2 reserved, 366 sold; an information profile

Among the four projects whose selectors return data, Montemar has by far the largest number of flats not marked sold, 383 against single digits elsewhere, and the largest share of its records. That statement rests on selector counts that are dated differently across projects, so it describes the data and not demand. Each project’s guide gives its own source table and conflicts.

Several other projects sit in Gonio and Kvariati, a few kilometres from Montemar. They are by other developers, their pages are the source of the figures and each has its own guide on this site. The table is context only and does not rank them. The branded projects among them are separate buildings with their own operators, as those guides explain.

Nearby listing on this site Place Figures from that listing (guide of 8 Nov 2026 unless stated)
Wyndham Residence Gonio Gonio 576 apartments; studio from USD 151,200; December 2026 handover per the developer
Radisson Blu Apartments Gonio Gonio 576 furnished apartments; studio from USD 149,500; May 2027 handover per the developer
NEXT Gardens Kvariati Kvariati Studios from USD 65,000; 50 m from the beach per the developer
Wyndham Grand Residences Gonio Family Club Gonio Two-block five-floor hotel-unit building by a different developer

For the wider picture there are the Batumi city page, the Georgia country page and the guides to off-plan property in Batumi and the Black Sea coast guide. The Batumi guides carry older numbers than the 2026 tax and residence rules above, so any figure in them should be checked against the primary source named in section 8.

Gumbati Group (developer)

This section uses only what the developer’s own pages state. The About page says Gumbati was established in 1998, initially for reconstruction and repair, and that it has been involved in real estate development since 2005. It says the company began offering hotel-type services in its residential properties in 2019 and started building hotel-type apartments in 2020, and that it holds an ISO 9001:2015 quality-management certification.

The home page prints four figures in a statistics block: 15+ development projects, 26+ years of experience, 1,000,000+ square metres built and 300+ employed professionals. These are the developer’s own statements and have not been checked against a register. The same block shows 0% for the fee on instalments.

The developer’s project list on gumbati.ge splits into five current projects (Strada, Montemar, Midtown, Boulevard Point and Portline by Gumbati) and nine completed ones, among them Gumbati Residence, Vere District, Vake Residence and Gumbati in Bakuriani. The company also names in-house divisions for renovation and interior design. Its privacy policy names Gumbati Group LLC as “the Company”.

The Montemar page does not name an architect. The architect is named in press pieces of December 2024: Forbes Georgia and Parametric Architecture describe Alpha Architecture, founded by Irakli Emiridze, as the designer. The first is labelled a paid placement and the second is an architecture site, so both are the designer’s presentation of the project and not independent assessments. The sources read name no owner or shareholder of the company.

Frequently asked questions

Where is Gumbati Montemar Batumi and which district is it in?

It is on the Tsminda Andria Pirveltsodebuli Highway in Gonio, which Wikipedia places in the Gonio-Kvariati district of Batumi, about 14 km south of the centre by Korter’s figure. The developer’s map label reads Gonio, Batumi, and its street number is 89, while Korter and batumi.estate print 87g. A registry extract settles the address.

How many flats are in Gumbati Montemar Batumi?

No page gives one number. The developer’s selector holds 720 records, 450 in Block B and 270 in Block C, with 383 not marked sold on 13 November 2026. Korter counts about 570 flats and 197 for sale, and batumi.estate prints 317 and 199. Block A, the hotel, has no flats in the selector.

What does a flat in Gumbati Montemar Batumi cost?

The developer prints “Apartments from $100 000”. Its selector lists prices from USD 90,630, and Korter shows from USD 82,478 as of 25 October 2026. The selector prices run from about USD 2,450 to 4,050 per m² and rise with the floor, but its records are stamped 2024 and 2025, so a dated written price list is needed.

When will the complex be finished?

The developer page prints no handover date. Korter prints Q4 2028 for all three blocks and realestatebatumi.ge late 2028, while batumi.estate prints 2028 and a June 2024 listing prints December 2027. The date that binds a buyer is the one written into the contract, with the definition of handover.

Is Gumbati Montemar Batumi a hotel?

Only Block A is called a hotel by the developer. Block B is an apart-hotel and Block C is described as apartments for sale, either near-completion or fully renovated. The page names no operator or hotel brand, and no brand announcement was found. The management contract and who runs each block should be in writing.

What payment plan does the developer print?

A 20 percent initial payment and a 48-month instalment, with no schedule or monthly amount. A June 2024 listing printed 30 percent down with up to 48 months. On a 100,000 price, 20 percent down and 48 equal interest-free payments would be 20,000 plus about 1,667 a month, an illustration only.

Does the flat qualify for a Georgian residence permit?

The Public Service Development Agency describes a short-term permit for property with an assessed market value exceeding USD 150,000 equivalent in GEL. Exactly USD 150,000 does not pass. The assessed value, not the contract price, counts. In the 2025-stamped selector, 65 of 380 priced flats are listed above USD 150,000.

What property tax would apply?

Since 30 September 2026 the Tax Code exempts an individual’s property other than land when the family income of the previous year did not exceed GEL 100,000. Above that, Article 202(5) sets a rate of 0.8 to 1 percent of the market value at the end of the previous year, with the return due by 1 November and payment by 15 November.

Can a foreigner buy from abroad?

Yes. The developer says buyers of any nationality can register in their own name or as a legal entity and that a power of attorney allows remote purchase. The registry also runs an online smart-contract service with a virtual meeting, and Georgia accepts apostilled documents under the Apostille Convention from 14 May 2007.

What do listing sites add about Gumbati Montemar Batumi?

They add Q4 2028 and 2028 handover dates, from-prices around USD 82,478 to 98,010, a TBC Bank calculator, distance estimates and finish levels including green frame. They also disagree with each other and with the developer on counts, the indoor pool and the sea distance, which the tables above show with sources and dates.
