Gumbati Portline Batumi is a 23-storey residential tower at 11 Tengiz Makatsaria Street in the Old Part of Batumi, where the developer Gumbati Group prints 309 apartments and where its own flat selector showed 6 of 300 itemised flats available on 13 November 2026.

This guide to Gumbati Portline Batumi reads the developer’s project page, its public flat list and brochure, and the listing sites that carry the building, as they stood on 13 November 2026. Floors, flat totals, the distance to the sea, the handover and the prices differ between sources, so each figure is shown with its source and date and none is chosen.
It adds floor-by-floor status counts, calculations from the printed prices, the Georgian rules on buying, tax and residence, and a list of what a buyer can ask for in writing.
The developer’s project page on gumbati.ge describes Portline as a 23-storey development with 309 apartments, units starting at 32 m², at 11 Tengiz Makatsaria Street in the Old Part of Batumi, about 500 m from the coastline. The page says the apartments are offered fully renovated, furnished and equipped, lists a fitness centre, an open terrace, a landscaped garden and a cafe-lounge, and files the project under Current. The wording is the developer’s, read on 13 November 2026.

The page prints no handover date and no completion notice. The page text carries no price list. The flat selector behind it loads a public flat list of 300 itemised flats, each with a status, and 6 of them were marked available on 13 November 2026; the per-flat prices below come from that list. The sections below give every count and price with its source.
Other pages disagree with the developer and with each other on several points. Korter, a property portal, prints 19 floors, 225 apartments and 250 m to the sea. Agency pages print a handover in the fourth quarter of 2026, in December 2026 and in the third quarter of 2027. This guide sets those figures in tables and does not choose between them.

The remaining sections follow the order in which a buyer meets the questions: what the sources say about the building, what the developer’s selector shows as available, how the prices compare, what the payment and finish terms are, where the building stands, and what the Georgian rules and the contract need to cover.
Eight public pages say something about when the building will be handed over, how tall it is, how many flats it has or how far it stands from the water. They were read on 13 November 2026 and they do not agree. Each table below shows the figure a page prints with the date that page carries, and no figure is promoted over another.

Handover comes first. The developer’s own page and brochure print no date. The dates on the other pages run from the fourth quarter of 2026 to the third quarter of 2027, and the last two pages in the table carry planning-stage fields: a 2023 listing and an undated project page.
| Handover or completion figure | Where it is printed | Date of the source |

| None printed | project page on gumbati.ge and brochure | Read 13 November 2026; brochure file named 24 Feb 2026 |

| Year built 2023 (listing field; the text says the building will be 23 storeys) | yourmove.ge | Updated 12 Aug 2023 |
The last two rows carry planning-stage fields, from 2023 and from an undated page that shows 2025 and 2026, and are kept because a buyer will meet them on portals. Korter also shows eight construction-progress photo spots, with the latest update in October 2026. The OpenStreetMap record for the building at house 11, read on 13 November 2026, tags it as under construction (way 1118995705); that is contributor data and may lag.
No page read for this guide prints a commissioning certificate or an occupancy permit for the building. That is a normal item to request in writing, and it is on the list in section 9.
Floors, flats and sizes come next. The developer prints 309 apartments in its text and brochure, while its flat list itemises 300 flats on floors 3 to 22, fifteen on each floor. The nine flats between the two totals are not itemised, and the page does not say where they are. Korter prints a lower flat count and a lower floor count than the developer.
| Item | Developer (gumbati.ge, brochure) | Korter | Others |
|---|---|---|---|
| Floors | 23 | 19 in the characteristics and in the text | 23: Realting, Welcomegeo, residence-estate.ge; yourmove.ge (2023) |
| Flats | 309 in the text and brochure; 300 itemised in the flat list on floors 3 to 22 | 225 | No other total found |

| Elevators | OTIS elevators (page and brochure) | 2 passenger elevators | No other count found |
| Parking | Underground parking (brochure) | Underground and ground level | Welcomegeo: underground |
| Ceiling height | Not printed | 3.0 m | Not printed |
Distance to the sea is the third point on which the pages differ. The developer’s page text says about 500 m from the coastline, while its brochure lists the sea at 100 m with a casino at 50 m, the cable car at 450 m and the Piazza at 900 m. The portals print 250 m or 100 m. A straight-line figure calculated from public map data is added as a further reference.
| Source | Distance to the sea as printed | Date |
|---|---|---|
| project page on gumbati.ge, text | About 500 meters from the coastline | 13 November 2026 |
| brochure | Sea 100 m; casino 50 m; cableway 450 m; Piazza 900 m | File named 24 Feb 2026 |
| Korter | 250 m to the seaside (characteristics); 3-minute walk to the coastline and the lower station of the Argo cable car | 13 November 2026 |
| Welcomegeo | To the sea 250 m; Argo cable car 450 m; Piazza Square 1 km | 4 Nov 2026 |
| Realting | 100 m from the beach | 15 Aug 2026 |
| yourmove.ge | 5 minutes’ walk to the cable car and the sea | 12 Aug 2023 |
| Calculated from OpenStreetMap | About 220 m in a straight line from the developer’s map pin to the nearest line tagged as coastline; whether that line is beach or port quay was not checked | 13 November 2026 (calculation) |
A walking time, a straight-line distance and a road distance measure different things, and a coastline near a port may be a quay and not a beach. The distance that matters for a particular flat is one to measure on site, and the table is a guide to how far apart the printed figures are, not a ranking of them.
The developer’s page lets a visitor browse floors and flats. Behind it sits a public flat list, which a plain web request returned on 13 November 2026. It holds 300 flats on floors 3 to 22 and gives each a status. The counts below are those of the list on that day. They are the developer’s own data and do not include flats sold by resale agents or listed on portals.

| Status in the flat list | Flats | Share of 300 (calculated) |
|---|---|---|
| Sold | 271 | 90.3% |
| Reserved | 23 | 7.7% |
| Available | 6 | 2.0% |
| Total itemised | 300 | 100% |
The six available flats are the whole developer stock the selector shows. The page does not say what a reservation covers or how long it lasts, so the 23 reserved flats are counted here as not available. Five of the six carry a price in the list. The table gives the stored price, the flat’s own stored area and a price per m² calculated from the two.
| Available flat | Floor | Area (m²) | Stored price (USD) | USD per m² (calculated) | Record stamp |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 603 | 6 | 51.7 | 70,829 | 1,370 | 2024-11-18 |
| 1601 | 16 | 70.3 | 135,679 | 1,930 | 2023-05-29 |
| 1714 | 17 | 53.5 | 110,210 | 2,060 | 2024-10-08 |
| 2102 | 21 | 58.7 | 106,834 | 1,820 | 2023-09-27 |
| 2109 | 21 | 53.4 | 95,052 | 1,780 | 2025-01-23 |
| 2215 | 22 | 49.8 | No price in the list | n/a | 2024-03-26 |
The five priced flats add up to USD 518,604 over 287.6 m², an average of about USD 1,803 per m² (calculated). The cheapest, flat 603 on the sixth floor, is stored at USD 70,829 for 51.7 m². The highest, flat 1601 on the sixteenth floor, is a 2-bedroom flat of 70.3 m² stored at USD 135,679. Flat 2215 on the twenty-second floor, 49.8 m², has no price field.
For three of the six the stored area differs slightly from the layout area: 51.7 m² against 55 m² for flat 603, 53.4 against 53.2 m² for flat 2109 and 49.8 against 49.6 m² for flat 2215.
The record stamp is the date the list attaches to each record; for these six it runs from 29 May 2023 to 23 January 2025.
The list carries a hide-price flag set to 1 on 299 of the 300 flats, so the website may not display per-flat prices even though the list stores them. The page data also holds one lowest price per type: USD 62,480 for studios, 61,776 for large studios, 70,829 for 1-bedroom flats and 133,570 for 2-bedroom flats. Only the 1-bedroom figure belongs to an available flat (603). The studio figures belong to reserved flats 1905 and 1904 and the 2-bedroom figure to reserved flat 1501.
These stored prices and the listing-site prices in section 5 do not match for flats of similar size. The page prints no price date, and the record stamps of the six flats fall between about 1.8 and 3.5 years before 13 November 2026 (calculated). Whether a stored price is a current list price is a question for the seller, and it is on the list in section 9.
The developer’s FAQ states that an individual or a legal entity from any country may buy property in Georgia, that an identity document is enough to start, and that the steps are the contract, payment and registration at the Public Registry (FAQ page). Section 8 sets those steps against the official fee and registration pages.
The 300 flats follow a regular pattern. Floors 3 to 22 each hold fifteen flats, numbered by floor and position, so flat 1714 is the fourteenth position on the seventeenth floor. Floors 1 and 2 are not in the list. Korter describes a glass-storefront base to the tower and the developer advertises no commercial unit for sale, so what stands on those floors is a question for the contract documents.

Status by floor shows where the remaining flats are. Nine of the twenty floors are fully sold. The sixth, sixteenth, seventeenth, twenty-first and twenty-second floors each hold one or two available flats. The nineteenth floor stands out with 13 reserved flats and 2 sold, and the twentieth has 4 reserved. Nothing on the page explains why, and a reservation may follow a single buyer or a group of buyers.

The fifteen positions repeat on every floor with the same area, which makes the layout table below more useful than the floor table for a buyer who wants a particular size.
The areas shown are the stored areas of the flats on floors 16 to 21, where the list is consistent; floor 22 flats are stored with slightly different areas, and flat 2211 is stored at 38.1 m² against 32.9 m² for its layout. Four type groups are stored in the list, which this guide names studio, large studio, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom in line with the lowest-price list on the developer’s page.
| Position (last two digits) | Area on floors 16 to 21 (m²) | Type group | Sold | Reserved | Available |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | 70.3 | 2-bedroom | 16 | 3 | 1 |
| 02 | 58.7 | 1-bedroom | 15 | 4 | 1 |
| 03 | 47.3 | 1-bedroom | 17 | 2 | 1 |
| 04 | 35.1 | Large studio | 19 | 1 | 0 |
| 05 | 35.5 | Studio | 19 | 1 | 0 |
| 06 | 47.6 | 1-bedroom | 18 | 2 | 0 |
| 07 | 58.3 | 1-bedroom | 19 | 1 | 0 |
| 08 | 53.3 | 1-bedroom | 18 | 2 | 0 |
| 09 | 53.2 | 1-bedroom | 17 | 2 | 1 |
| 10 | 38.4 | Studio | 19 | 1 | 0 |
| 11 | 32.9 | Studio | 19 | 1 | 0 |
| 12 | 38.3 | Studio | 19 | 1 | 0 |
| 13 | 53.9 | 1-bedroom | 19 | 1 | 0 |
| 14 | 53.5 | 1-bedroom | 19 | 0 | 1 |
| 15 | 49.6 | 1-bedroom | 18 | 1 | 1 |
By type group the list holds 80 studios (76 sold, 4 reserved), 20 large studios (19 sold, 1 reserved), 180 1-bedroom flats (160 sold, 15 reserved, 5 available) and 20 2-bedroom flats (16 sold, 3 reserved, 1 available). The 2-bedroom group is the 70.3 m² layout at position 01 on each floor. Five of the six available flats are therefore 1-bedroom flats, and the sixth is a 2-bedroom flat.
The list has data quality limits that a reader should know about before relying on any single field. For 73 flats the stored area differs from the area of the layout they belong to; for 15 flats on floor 3 no area is stored; and 91 flats carry no price. On the lower floors the differences are large in places, for example flat 604 is stored at 30.7 m² although its layout is 56.5 m².
The record stamps of the 300 flats run from 24 May 2023 to 23 January 2025.
These limits concern the list and not the building. They are the reason a buyer should work from a unit-specific document, with the unit number, the area on which the price is charged and the date of the price, and not from a screen showing a subset of fields. The contract plan and the registry extract are the documents that fix a flat’s area.
Three flats in the list carry an offer price below the list price: flat 913 (USD 95,942 and 94,325), flat 1102 (89,224 and 87,463) and flat 1301 (129,352 and 127,243). That is a difference of 1.6% to 2.0% (calculated). The page does not explain the field, and it is one more reason to ask in writing whether the price differs by payment method.
The developer’s prices are the stored values in section 3. Portals and agencies print other prices, and the figures do not overlap. The highest stored price per m² among the five priced available flats is USD 2,060, and the lowest per-m² figure printed by a portal or agency in October or November 2026 is USD 2,600. No page explains the gap. It could reflect different flats, dates or price lists, which public pages do not let a reader resolve.

The Korter naming of flats is by rooms, counting the living room, so its 2-room flats of 47.3 to 58.7 m² correspond to what the developer calls 1-bedroom flats, and its 3-room flat of 70.3 m² to the developer’s 2-bedroom layout. Korter counts six apartments in its three layouts, the same number as the selector’s available flats, and the areas and prices differ. The two counts are noted here only as a coincidence of totals.
One flat is named by two sources. batumi.estate lists apartment 1902 at USD 157,316 on 3 October 2026. The developer’s flat list shows flat 1902 as reserved on 13 November 2026, with a stored price of USD 103,312 and a record stamp of 26 March 2024. A portal’s listing date and a flat’s status can differ simply because time has passed, and a status can change in either direction.
Welcomegeo lists five flats on floors 15, 17, 19 and 20 without flat numbers. By floor and area each matches one position in the developer’s list: flats 1501, 1702, 1902, 2001 and 2003. On 13 November 2026 the developer’s list marks four of them reserved and one sold. A status can change in either direction between a listing date and a later reading, which is why every row in the table carries its date.
The Georgian lari figures on residence-estate.ge are converted at the official rate of GEL 2.5935 per USD set by the National Bank of Georgia for 13 November 2026. At that rate its from-price of GEL 197,678 is about USD 76,200, which agrees with the USD 76,153 in the page title, so the title and the body of that page describe the same figure in two currencies. Its per-m² figure of GEL 4,208 is about USD 1,620 at the same rate.
Because the sources differ, a buyer comparing offers should compare like with like: the same flat number, the same finish, the same date, the same area basis and the same payment method. A price in a listing is not an offer from the developer, and a price in the developer’s list is not a quotation until it is in a signed document.
The developer’s project page on gumbati.ge prints no payment schedule. Its FAQ says apartments can be bought with an internal instalment and, or, a mortgage through partner banks. The percentages and months on this page come from portals and agencies, and each is shown with its source and date.

| Source and date | Payment terms as printed |
|---|---|
| Korter, 13 November 2026 | 30% down payment, interest-free internal instalment up to 12 months (internal credit 0%); first instalment from 30% |
| residence-estate.ge, undated | Initial instalment 30%, then interest-free instalments from the developer for the remaining 70%; months not stated |
| Welcomegeo, 4 Nov 2026 | Instalment up to 12 months, and mortgage; no percentages |
| Developer FAQ, 13 November 2026 | Internal instalment and, or, mortgage through partner banks; no percentages or months |
| Korter calculator, 13 November 2026 | Mortgage illustration from TBC Bank: from 7.4% nominal, 8.3% effective, linked to Term SOFR; a calculator default and not a developer term |
The Korter terms translate into simple monthly figures. The table below applies 30% down and twelve equal monthly payments to four prices from this guide. It is an illustration calculated here, with no interest and no fee, because the developer prints no schedule, and a contract may set different dates and amounts.
| Price used | Price (USD) | 30% down (USD) | Balance (USD) | Twelve equal payments of (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flat 2109 (stored price) | 95,052 | 28,516 | 66,536 | 5,545 |
| Flat 1714 (stored price) | 110,210 | 33,063 | 77,147 | 6,429 |
| Flat 1601 (stored price) | 135,679 | 40,704 | 94,975 | 7,915 |
| Korter 2-room from-price | 128,656 | 38,597 | 90,059 | 7,505 |
An interest-free plan has no financing charge on the face of it, but it is only comparable to a one-payment price if the two prices are the same. Whether the price for a 12-month plan equals the price for a single payment is not printed, and the offer-price field described in section 4 is one reason to ask.
On the bank side, Korter’s text names TBC Bank as a mortgage route. No bank page read for this guide names the project, so which bank, if any, has approved the building for mortgage lending is a point to confirm with the bank directly. The National Bank of Georgia sets loan-to-value limits of 90% for lari loans and 70% for foreign-currency loans (NBG PTI and LTV requirements), and each bank decides on a non-resident applicant.
The finish is the other fixed point in the developer’s description. The project page on gumbati.ge says the apartments are sold fully renovated, furnished and equipped with the necessary appliances, and the brochure shows furnished interior renders. The FAQ adds that Gumbati apartments in general can be bought in green-frame condition or fully renovated, but the Portline page lists only the turnkey option.
The building specification printed by the developer is a ventilated facade, aluminium isoprofile doors and windows with glass railings, ceramic block partitions, an entrance lined with natural granite and OTIS elevators. Korter adds a monolithic frame, 3.0 m ceilings, tempered-glass balcony railings, central heating, gas, water, electricity, sewerage, internet and TV connections, and a count of two passenger elevators.
The developer lists a supervisory company responsible for the lighting of common areas, cleaning, the operation of elevators and 24/7 video monitoring, together with administration and a concierge. The page also describes an apartment-management service under a management contract, with an electronic system for owners. Its fee terms are the developer’s and are not reproduced here; the contract is where a buyer would read them.
Three floor plans in the brochure give room areas. The totals the brochure prints are 0.9 to 2.4 m² higher than the sum of the rooms it lists, and it does not say what the difference covers. That is a reason to ask which area the price is charged on.
| Brochure plan | Rooms listed (m²) | Sum of listed rooms (calculated) | Total printed |

The brochure plans of 57.7, 49.1 and 32.4 m² do not match any layout area in the flat list, where the nearest sizes are 58.3, 49.6 and 32.9 m². The brochure presents the plans as interior design examples and mentions apartments with a free-planning option.
The address is 11 Tengiz Makatsaria Street in Batumi. The developer’s map pin is at 41.645304 N, 41.650616 E, and the Korter pin and the OpenStreetMap building record for house 11 agree with it to within about 3 m (calculated). The developer files the project under the Old Part of Batumi. Korter places it in Boni-Gorodok, and OpenStreetMap lists the quarter as Boni within the Boni-Gorodok suburb.

Neighbourhood names in Batumi are descriptive, and the street address is the stable identifier. Batumi is the capital of the Autonomous Republic of Adjara and, per Wikipedia, the second-largest city in Georgia, with 152,839 inhabitants as of 2014 and a historic Old Town of restored 19th-century buildings. The same article describes a humid subtropical climate, with average annual precipitation of 2,435 mm, November as the wettest month and an average annual temperature of about 14 °C.
The developer and the portals describe the building as near the port. The company site of the Batumi Sea Port carries the line since 1878 and says the port has five terminals and eleven berths, and Wikipedia lists oil, dry cargo, container, railway-ferry and passenger terminals. A visit that includes the street and the side of the building facing the port shows what the surroundings are like at different times of day.
The table below sets the landmark and service distances that the sources print. They come from the developer’s brochure, Korter and Welcomegeo, and the walking times and road distances are as printed. None is measured here, apart from the calculated lines in the last two rows.
| Place or service | Distance as printed | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Argo cable car, lower station | 450 m; 3-minute walk | Brochure, Welcomegeo; Korter |
| Piazza | 900 m; 1 km | Brochure; Welcomegeo |
| Batumi Plaza | 500 m | Korter |
| Bus stop on Shavsheti Street | 180 m | Korter |
| Major road | About 210 m | Korter |
| Batumi Sea Port | Within 1 km | Korter |
| Old Bus Station | Under 1 km | Korter |
| Republican Hospital | 2 km | Korter |
| Metro Bus Terminal | Just over 2 km | Korter |
| Railway station and central bus terminal | About 4 km | Korter |
| Schools no. 1 and no. 23, St Andrew the First-Called School, kindergartens, a music school | 5 to 10 minute walk | Korter |
| Batumi International Airport | 15-minute drive (Korter); 9 km (Welcomegeo); 22 min (residence-estate.ge) | Korter; Welcomegeo; residence-estate.ge |
| Airport, straight line | About 5.8 km from the developer’s pin to the airport coordinates on Wikipedia | Calculated |
| Sea, straight line | About 220 m to the nearest OpenStreetMap coastline | Calculated |
The airport’s own page says Batumi municipal bus no. 10 runs on a fixed route between the airport and the city centre and that a taxi takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes to the city centre (Batumi International Airport). Wikipedia places the airport 2 km south of Batumi and about 20 km from Hopa in Turkey.
The printed figures for the building itself (15 minutes, 9 km and 22 minutes) are different measures, and the calculated straight line of about 5.8 km is shorter than the 9 km figure.
A buyer who plans to live in the building year-round will care about the daily links: the bus stop on Shavsheti Street, which Korter says has routes numbered 1a, 4, 8, 12, 12a and 16 as well as minibus routes, and the walking time to schools and shops. A buyer who plans to visit seasonally will care more about the airport and the walk to the sea. Both sets of figures are in the table and neither has been verified on foot.
The surroundings combine the Old Town, the cable car and the port. The printed distances put shops, schools and transport within walking range. Noise, traffic and views depend on the flat and the floor, and no source covers them.
Georgian law lets a foreigner own an apartment. The restricted category is agricultural land, which Article 4 of the Organic Law on Agricultural Land Ownership reserves for the state, citizens and certain Georgian entities, and a flat in a Batumi tower is not agricultural land. Under Article 183 of the Civil Code, acquiring an immovable thing needs a written transaction and the registration of the acquirer’s ownership right in the Public Registry.

Background guides cover whether foreigners can buy property in Georgia, how to buy property in Georgia and off-plan property in Batumi. The steps and fees below were read on the official pages on 13 November 2026.
The registry fee is the same for registering a change of right and for registering an obligation tied to an ownership right: 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 that is about USD 57.8, 104.1 and 135.0. The speed chosen sets the fee, and the fee does not depend on the price of the flat.
A buyer outside Georgia has two usual routes. A power of attorney can be legalised for use in Georgia, and the Hague Conference status table records that the Apostille Convention entered into force for Georgia on 14 May 2007. The registry also runs a smart-contract service for registering rights online through a virtual meeting. Which route the seller prefers is worth confirming before any payment.
| Step | Who | Cost or time | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ask for the unit number, area basis, price, finish list and draft contract | Buyer, seller | Not published on the project page | project page on gumbati.ge |
| Order a Public Registry extract for the plot and, when it exists, the unit | Buyer, lawyer, NAPR | GEL 20 in one working day, GEL 13 online; GEL 26 more for an extract in English | NAPR information fees |
| Check the entity that signs against the registry and the building permit | Buyer, lawyer | The privacy policy names Gumbati Group LLC; the signing entity is not stated | Privacy policy page |
| Sign the written contract | Buyer, seller | Terms are set in the contract | Civil Code, art. 183 |
| Pay under the schedule, through the channel the contract names | Buyer | Schedule not printed by the developer | Korter |
| Register the right, or the obligation if the unit is not yet registered | Buyer, NAPR | GEL 150, 270 or 350 by speed | NAPR fee page |
| Sign from abroad if needed | Buyer, NAPR | Apostilled power of attorney or booked virtual meeting | NAPR smart contract |
A point specific to a building still being completed is whether each flat is already a registered object. The fee schedule lists a separate service for registering an obligation related to an ownership right, which is the kind of entry a lawyer may look for where a unit is not yet registered. The extract shows which case applies.
Tax rules for individuals changed on 30 September 2026. The English Tax Code on matsne.gov.ge lists Law No. 1874 of that date in the amendment history. Article 202(5) sets the tax on an individual’s taxable property other than land at not less than 0.8% and not more than 1% of the market value at the end of the previous year. Article 206(1)(a) removes the charge for a family whose income in the previous year was GEL 100,000 or less.
The EY Georgia tax and law brief for July to September 2026 records the same change and gives the earlier exemption limit as GEL 40,000, so older guides quote other bands. Article 201 reaches real estate held by an individual, including an unfinished construction. The return deadline is 1 November and the payment deadline is 15 November (Article 205). The Revenue Service offers a 2026 property tax calculator for individuals, and the guide to property tax in Georgia explains the filing.
Rent and resale have their own rules. Article 81 taxes residential rent received by an individual who makes no deductions at 5% and the surplus from supplying a residential apartment at 5%, against a general personal rate of 20%. Article 82(1)(f.a) leaves out of income the surplus from selling a residential apartment owned for more than two years. Article 166 sets VAT at 18%, so the contract should say whether a price already contains it.
On residence, the Public Service Development Agency describes a short-term residence permit for a foreigner who holds title to non-agricultural immovable property with a market value exceeding USD 150,000 equivalent in lari. The value is set by a certified assessor, as the Law on the Legal Status of Aliens and Stateless Persons states, so the contract price does not stand in for it and a value of exactly USD 150,000 does not exceed the line. A second category covers property exceeding USD 300,000.
Pages that quote other residence figures, including some sales pages, should be checked against the agency page. At GEL 2.5935 per USD, USD 150,000 is GEL 389,025. Among the stored prices in section 3 the highest, USD 135,679, is below USD 150,000, while the listing-site prices for the 70.3 m² layout, USD 184,889 and USD 198,949, exceed it. The guide to getting a residence permit in Georgia covers the application.
| Item | Rule | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Property tax, individual | 0.8 to 1% of the year-end market value; nothing due if the previous year’s family income was GEL 100,000 or less; file by 1 November, pay by 15 November | Tax Code arts. 202(5), 205, 206(1)(a) |
| Rental income, individual | 5% on residential rent with no deductions, against a 20% general rate | Tax Code art. 81 |
| Selling an apartment | 5% on the surplus; the surplus is excluded where the apartment was owned for more than two years | Tax Code arts. 81(3), 82(1)(f.a) |
| VAT | 18%; the contract states whether a price contains it | Tax Code art. 166 |
| Short-term residence permit | Non-agricultural property with an assessed market value exceeding USD 150,000 equivalent in lari | SDA residence permits |
| Higher residence permit category | Property exceeding USD 300,000 equivalent | SDA residence permits |
| Mortgage limits | Loan to value 90% (lari loans) and 70% (foreign-currency loans) | NBG PTI and LTV |
Mortgage conditions for non-residents vary by bank, and the guide to mortgages in Georgia for foreigners sets out the general position. The rules are given as published on the dates read. A lawyer’s reading of the actual contract is still needed, because the rules above summarise public pages.
The developer’s page prints a count of flats, a size range, a finish description and a facilities list, and a flat selector with statuses. A reservation 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 or a difference shown in the tables above.

Written answers should sit in the contract or an annex, because web pages change without notice. The deposit refund terms on the reservation form are worth reading before signing it.
The developer’s list of current projects holds five, all in or near Batumi. The table sets this building beside the other four, using what the developer’s pages and public flat lists showed on 13 November 2026. The figures are the ones each source printed, with its own status and price.
| Gumbati project | Area | Floors and flats as the developer prints | Developer selector, 13 Nov 2026 | Price indication |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Portline (this page) | Old Part of Batumi, Makatsaria St. 11 | 23 floors, 309 apartments | 271 sold, 23 reserved, 6 available of 300 | Stored USD 70,829 to 135,679 on five flats; Korter from USD 128,656 |
| Gumbati Strada Batumi | Khimshiashvili district | 31 floors | No flat data returned | Developer from USD 61,320; Korter studio from USD 61,344 |
| Gumbati Montemar Batumi | Gonio, Batumi municipality | 16 floors, three blocks | Flat list with several hundred flats; see that guide | Developer headline: apartments from USD 100,000 |
| Gumbati Midtown Batumi | Rustaveli district | 14 floors, 57 apartments plus commercial space | 52 sold, 2 reserved, 7 available of 61 | No developer price; third-party indications |
| Gumbati Boulevard Point Batumi | New Boulevard | 15 floors, 377 apartments | 366 sold, 2 reserved, 7 available of 375 | Developer flat list: studio USD 121,777, 1-bedroom 135,412, 2-bedroom 214,696 as lowest |
The five projects differ in height, district, stage and in what the developer prints, so the table reports data and does not rank them. The flat counts for the four sibling projects come from the same kind of public flat list and the same date, and each guide explains its own source.
Other developers’ listings in the same part of Batumi are shown below as context. They are separate buildings with their own pages, and the facts are as each guide records them from the developer’s own site.
| Nearby Batumi listing | Area | Status or handover as recorded | Price as recorded |
|---|---|---|---|
| NEXT DownTown Batumi | Old Batumi | Handover June 2026 on the developer’s page; turnkey completion December 2026 | From USD 161,460 per the developer, 8 Nov 2026 |
| Silk Towers Batumi | Old Batumi | Handover not printed by the developer | Developer statement: apartments starting from USD 95,000, unit type not stated, 9 Nov 2026 |
| Archi Ramada Batumi | New Boulevard | Handover not printed by the developer | No price printed by the developer; broker indications only |
| NEXT Address Batumi | Alley of Heroes | Handover December 2028 per the developer | Studio from USD 68,000 without renovation per the developer, 8 Nov 2026 |
For a wider view, the Batumi page on this site (listings in Batumi) and the Georgia page (listings in Georgia) show the other buildings that have a guide. A like-for-like comparison needs the same finish, the same date and the same area basis.
What follows draws only on the developer’s own pages. The About page says the development and construction company Gumbati was established in 1998, initially focused on reconstruction and repair, and that it has been involved in real estate development since 2005. It adds that in 2019 the company began offering hotel-type services within its residential properties and in 2020 started building hotel-type apartments, and that it holds ISO 9001-2015 certification in quality management.
The home page carries a statistics block that reads 15+ development projects, 26+ years of experience, 300+ employed professionals and 1,000,000+ sq meters built. These are the company’s own figures. The projects section on gumbati.ge lists Strada, Montemar, Boulevard Point, Midtown and Portline as current, and nine projects as completed, among them Gumbati Residence, Vere District and Vake Residence.
The privacy policy page names the entity as Gumbati Group LLC (privacy policy). The pages read do not give a registration number or the name of the entity that signs sales contracts for Portline, which is a point for section 9. Korter lists Gumbati Group as a developer active since 1998 and shows Portline as a current project with completion in Q4 2026.
No architect is named on the Portline pages. The brochure says the company’s designers prepare interior layouts. No bank or hotel-brand partnership for this building is confirmed on a partner’s own site, and none is claimed here.
It stands at 11 Tengiz Makatsaria Street in Batumi, per the developer, which files it under the Old Part of Batumi. Korter and OpenStreetMap place it in the Boni-Gorodok area. The map pins of the developer, Korter and OpenStreetMap agree to within about 3 m. The street address is the stable identifier, and a registry extract confirms what is registered there.
On 13 November 2026 the developer’s flat list showed 6 available, 23 reserved and 271 sold among 300 itemised flats. The six are flats 603, 1601, 1714, 2102, 2109 and 2215 on floors 6, 16, 17, 21, 21 and 22. The developer’s text speaks of 309 apartments, and the nine flats between the two totals are not itemised.
The developer’s flat list stores USD 70,829 to 135,679 for five of the six available flats, and no price for the sixth. Korter prints from USD 128,656 as of 10 November 2026 and Welcomegeo USD 128,656 to 198,949. The sources do not overlap, and a price becomes binding only when it is in a signed document.
The developer prints no handover date. Korter prints the fourth quarter of 2026, Realting December 2026 and Welcomegeo the third quarter of 2027, each with its own date. The date that binds a buyer is the one written into the contract, with a definition of handover.
The developer prints 23 floors and 309 apartments, while its flat list itemises 300 flats on floors 3 to 22. Korter prints 19 floors and 225 apartments. The permit and the unit schedule are the documents that settle the numbers for a particular flat.
The developer says the apartments are sold fully renovated, furnished and equipped with appliances. The brochure shows furnished interior renders and floor plans with room areas. A list of what the turnkey package includes, item by item, belongs in the contract.
Korter prints 30% down and an interest-free internal instalment up to 12 months. The developer page prints no schedule. On a price of USD 110,210 the terms would mean about USD 33,063 down and twelve payments of about USD 6,429, a calculation made here and not a quotation.
Foreigners may own flats in Georgia, and the ownership right is entered in the Public Registry. For a short-term residence permit the Public Service Development Agency looks at non-agricultural property whose assessed market value exceeds USD 150,000 equivalent in lari. The test uses the assessed market value, and the price in the contract does not stand in for it.
From 30 September 2026 an individual’s property other than land is exempt if the family earned no more than GEL 100,000 in the previous year. Above that, Article 202(5) sets 0.8 to 1% of the year-end market value. The return deadline is 1 November and the payment deadline is 15 November.
The sources print 500 m (developer text), 250 m (Korter, Welcomegeo) and 100 m (brochure, Realting). A calculation from public map data gives about 220 m in a straight line to the nearest line tagged as coastline. The figures measure different things, so a visit on foot is the reliable check.
