NEXT Gardens Kvariati: Batumi Coast Apartments Guide (2026)
Kvariati, Batumi, Georgia
  • From $65,000

Description

NEXT Gardens Kvariati is a residential and mixed-use complex that the Georgian developer NEXT is building in Kvariati, a Black Sea coastal village in the Batumi area, with studios from USD 65,000, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments and six penthouses on the developer’s page.

NEXT Gardens Kvariati render of two terraced blocks with mountains behind

This guide reads that page as shown on 8 November 2026 and keeps its figures apart from the context around them. It sets the developer’s own distances beside road distances from a routing calculation, works out price per square metre and the arithmetic of the 34-month plan from the printed numbers, and adds the Georgian rules on registration, tax and residence from official sources. Where the page is silent, the guide says so and names the document that answers the question.

Overview of NEXT Gardens Kvariati

NEXT presents the project as a multifunctional complex for living, working and investment, in Kvariati, Batumi. According to the developer project page, the beach is 50 metres away and the centre of Batumi is 15 minutes away, without saying whether that time is by car or on foot. The page describes the views as olive garden, mountains and the sea.

Sunset render of the terraced NEXT Gardens block facing the sea

Choice is organised in two steps. The first is the view, sea or mountain; the second is the finish, with or without renovation. Together they give four price sets on the page. In the two sea-view sets the studio is marked “Sold Out”, so the starting price of USD 65,000 belongs to a studio of 28.7 m² with a mountain view and no renovation.

The page lists unit counts by type and no total: 253 studios, 216 one-bedroom apartments, 18 two-bedroom apartments and 6 penthouses. The sum of 493 is calculated for this guide from those four numbers. The page prints no number of floors and no number of buildings, although its text speaks of buildings in the plural and the renders show two blocks.

Two completion dates appear on the same page. The price panels carry a handover of December 2027, while a separate block says the project will be fully completed turnkey in June 2028. The guide shows both and treats the sale agreement as the document that fixes the date. The developer’s About page dates the start of construction to 2022.

The page names no hotel operator and no licensed brand, describes no rental arrangement and does not state the form of ownership. It prints no street address, plot number or map pin. Its income and tax claims for owners depend on contracts and Georgian law, so the guide leaves them out and gives the official rules in sections 5 and 6.

Unit types, prices and the payment plan of NEXT Gardens Kvariati

The page gives each apartment type two size statements. The layout cards show the smallest and largest unit with its price, and a separate block, “Size of units per type”, gives wider ranges. The table keeps both side by side and does not choose between them. Prices are the developer’s figures in USD on 8 November 2026 for the mountain-view sets; the page shows the same one-bedroom and two-bedroom prices in the sea-view sets.

Floor plan of a typical residential floor in block A
NEXT Gardens Kvariati unit types Units listed Layout card size (m²) Size of units per type (m²) Price without renovation (USD) Price with renovation (USD)
Studio 253 28.7 to 36.1 24 to 57 65,000 up to 84,240 79,500 (from)
One bedroom (1+1) 216 52.8 to 88.5 52 to 99 122,130 up to 209,703 163,262 (from)
Two bedroom (2+1) 18 92.1 to 113.3 76.3 to 120 246,784 up to 257,166 313,344 (from)
Penthouses 6 Not printed Not printed Not printed Not printed

The studio at USD 65,000 is the smallest card and the lowest price. The upper end of each card range is the largest unit shown with a price, and the penthouses have a count and no card, size or price. Sea-view studios are marked “Sold Out” in both finishes; the page does not state how many studios that covers, so the count of 253 should be read as the number of studios in the project, not as the number still available.

Size and price comparison

The next table uses only printed numbers. Price per square metre is the card price divided by the card area; the renovation difference is the printed with-renovation price minus the printed without-renovation price for the same unit, divided by the same area. Every figure is calculated from the developer’s figures and rounded to the nearest dollar.

Calculated comparison by unit type Smallest card: price per m² (USD) Largest card: price per m² (USD) Renovation difference (USD) Renovation difference per m² (USD)
Studio 65,000 / 28.7 m² = 2,265 84,240 / 36.1 m² = 2,334 79,500 – 65,000 = 14,500 14,500 / 28.7 m² = 505
One bedroom (1+1) 122,130 / 52.8 m² = 2,313 209,703 / 88.5 m² = 2,370 163,262 – 122,130 = 41,132 41,132 / 52.8 m² = 779
Two bedroom (2+1) 246,784 / 92.1 m² = 2,680 257,166 / 113.3 m² = 2,270 313,344 – 246,784 = 66,560 66,560 / 92.1 m² = 723

Three readings follow from the arithmetic. First, the rate per square metre sits between about USD 2,265 and USD 2,680 across the six cards, a spread of about 18%, so the three types are priced on broadly similar rates even though their areas differ widely. Second, the largest two-bedroom card is cheaper per square metre than the smallest, because its price is only USD 10,382 above the smallest card for 21.2 m² more floor area; the page does not explain that step.

Third, the renovation difference per square metre is USD 505 for the studio and USD 723 to USD 779 for the other two types. The page does not say what the renovation package contains, so the sale agreement and its specification annex should be the reference for items such as kitchen, sanitary ware and appliances. The page also says that the apartments in Gardens are fully furnished with damage-resistant materials, without saying which price set that sentence describes.

Two size statements on one page can both be correct if the cards show specific drawn units and the wider range covers every unit; the page does not say which reading applies. The practical point is that the area in the contract, and the area registered later in the Public Registry, are the figures that count, and a buyer comparing two units should compare the contract areas. A card figure and a range figure should not be mixed in one calculation.

Payment plan and the four price sets

The developer’s plan is a first payment of 15% followed by 34 instalments at 0%, paid monthly or quarterly. The calculator on the page shows the first payment, the number of months and the monthly amount. The check below multiplies the printed monthly amount by 34 and adds the first payment; for the first set the result equals the printed price exactly, and for the others it differs by rounding.

Price set on the page Studio price (USD) First payment shown 15% of the price (calculated) Monthly payment shown (USD) 15% + 34 x monthly (calculated)
Mountain view, without renovation 65,000 9.7k 9,750 1,625 9,750 + 55,250 = 65,000
Mountain view, with renovation 79,500 12k 11,925 1,988 11,925 + 67,592 = 79,517 (monthly rounded up)
Sea view, without renovation Sold Out 18.2k 18,320 on the 1+1 price of 122,130 3,053 18,320 + 103,802 = 122,122 (on the 1+1 price)
Sea view, with renovation Sold Out 24.5k 24,489 on the 1+1 price of 163,262 4,082 24,489 + 138,788 = 163,277 (on the 1+1 price)

In the two sea-view sets the monthly amounts match the one-bedroom prices, USD 122,130 and USD 163,262, which suggests that the calculator uses the cheapest unit still offered in those sets. The printed first payment of 18.2k is a little below the 15% figure of USD 18,320; the monthly amount of USD 3,053 matches 15%. The page does not explain the difference, so the schedule in the contract should settle it.

The page prints no start date for the instalments and no handover instalment. The table below is an illustration, not a developer schedule: it assumes that the first payment is made at signing and that the first of 34 monthly instalments of USD 1,625 falls in January 2027, on the USD 65,000 studio.

Illustration for the USD 65,000 studio (calculated) Instalments paid Paid in total Share of the price paid Still to pay
At the end of December 2027 (handover date on the price panels) 12 9,750 + 12 x 1,625 = 29,250 45% 22 x 1,625 = 35,750 (55%)
At the end of June 2028 (completion date in the other block) 18 9,750 + 18 x 1,625 = 39,000 60% 16 x 1,625 = 26,000 (40%)
After the 34th instalment, October 2029 34 65,000 100% 0

The illustration shows why the schedule matters. On these assumptions 55% of the price (December 2027 case) or 40% of it (June 2028 case) would still be unpaid at the dates the page gives for handover.

The page says a buyer becomes the official owner within one business day after construction is completed and full payment is made. A buyer therefore needs the contract to state when the unit is handed over for use, when the Public Registry entry is made, and whether the two depend on the final instalment.

The reservation step is separate: a deposit of USD 1,000 to USD 3,000 holds a unit for one week or up to one month, according to the page. The developer’s site also states, in general terms, that its 0% plans run from 12 to 45 months depending on project and handover date. Nothing on the project page says whether the deposit forms part of the first payment, so that is a question for the reservation form.

Location: Adjara, Batumi and the southern coast

Kvariati lies on the Adjara coast between the settlement of Gonio and the border village of Sarpi. The developer’s page calls the area “a peaceful coastal area where fresh mountain air meets the Black Sea” and gives no administrative detail. Adjara, the autonomous republic whose capital is Batumi, had 413.2 thousand residents on 1 January 2026 according to Geostat, of which 279.9 thousand lived in urban settlements and 133.3 thousand in rural ones. Georgia as a whole had 3,941.1 thousand and the capital Tbilisi 1,369.4 thousand.

Aerial render of the NEXT Gardens blocks and garden paths

Administratively, Kvariati has a short and slightly confusing history. Wikipedia records it as part of the municipal area of Batumi since 2011, while the neighbouring Khelvachauri Municipality is described by the Georgian National Tourism Administration as sixty-four villages on the border with Turkey, seven kilometres from Batumi. For a buyer, the practical consequence is that the municipal and cadastral address of the plot appears in the Public Registry extract, not in the sales page.

The same tourism administration page names the fortresses of Gonio and Gvara among the monuments of the municipality and the Mtirala and Machakhela national parks among its protected areas. Gonio fortress, a Roman-era site at the mouth of the Chorokhi river, lies about 4 kilometres from the Turkish border according to Wikipedia; the coordinates listed there put it about 3 kilometres from Kvariati in a straight line, a figure calculated for this guide.

Visitor data frame the seasonal character of the coast. Geostat’s inbound tourism release for 2025 counts 7.8 million arrivals of international non-resident travellers in Georgia and 6.9 million visits by international visitors, half of them (50.3%) for holiday, leisure and recreation.

It states that most visits were made in Tbilisi and Adjara, 3.8 million and 2.7 million respectively, and that the average stay was 5.6 nights. Turkey ranked second by citizenship of visitors with a 16.9% share, after the Russian Federation with 23.2%, which is relevant to a village next to the main land crossing with Turkey (Geostat inbound tourism 2025).

Official price statistics are narrower than the market. The Residential Property Price Index that Geostat publishes covers new residential property in Tbilisi only, so no official index exists for Kvariati. Zone figures come from analysts: the Georgia Black Sea coast property guide reproduces a Galt and Taggart average of USD 2,048 per square metre for the Gonio-Kvariati zone at the end of 2025, with a range of USD 1,350 to USD 4,560 across projects, and counts 19 ongoing projects in that zone in the first half of 2024.

The developer gives no cadastral code. The Public Registry extract for the plot, the municipal building permit and the commissioning record are the documents that place the building on the map, and anyone can order the extract for GEL 20, as section 5 shows. The table below puts three kinds of figure in one place and names the source of each. The developer’s figures are as printed.

The road figures are driving distances from the coordinates Wikipedia lists for central Batumi (41.6458 N, 41.6417 E), computed on 27 October 2026 with the OSRM routing engine and reported in the coast guide. The straight-line figures are calculated for this guide from the coordinates Wikipedia lists for Kvariati (41.5453 N, 41.5636 E) and for each place, so they describe the line on the map, not a journey.

Nearby places and distances What it is Distance and basis Source
Beach Black Sea shore 50 m, as printed; mode not stated developer project page
Batumi city centre City and capital of Adjara 15 minutes, as printed (mode not stated); 16.0 km by road and 20 minutes free-flow from the centre to Kvariati; 12.9 km straight line developer project page; coast guide
Gonio fortress Roman-era fortification at the Chorokhi mouth 3.2 km straight line; Gonio is 12.8 km by road and 16 minutes from the centre of Batumi Wikipedia; coast guide
Sarpi border crossing Land crossing between Georgia and Turkey 2.8 km straight line; Sarpi is 19.9 km by road and 27 minutes from the centre of Batumi Wikipedia; coast guide
Batumi International Airport Airport south of the city 7.8 km straight line; 9.7 km by road and 18 minutes from the centre of Batumi airport site; coast guide
Machakhela National Park Protected area in the hills of Khelvachauri About 13 km straight line to the park’s listed coordinates (calculated) tourism administration; Wikipedia coordinates

Two points stand out. The developer’s 15 minutes is shorter than the 20 minutes of free-flow driving from the OSRM calculation, which is not a contradiction, because the page does not state where the 15 minutes start or what traffic it assumes, and summer traffic on the coastal road and queues at the border can lengthen any journey.

Second, Kvariati is much closer to the Turkish border than to the centre of Batumi: the border crossing is under 3 kilometres away in a straight line and the centre about 13 kilometres.

Kvariati in practice: access, seasons and the building

The page presents the project as a resort-style complex 50 metres from the beach, and it is the village location, rather than the building specification, that separates the project from a city-centre apartment. This section sets out what that means in daily use as far as the sources allow: access, the seasonal pattern, and what the developer says the building provides. It stops where the sources stop; no source gives the walking route to the beach, the nearest supermarket or the quality of the road in winter.

Access and getting around

The coast road is the link to Batumi. The coast guide measures 16.0 kilometres and 20 minutes of free-flow driving from the centre of Batumi to Kvariati and 12.8 kilometres to Gonio.

Batumi International Airport lies between the centre and Gonio, 9.7 kilometres by road from the centre, so it sits on the way south, and in a straight line it is closer to Kvariati (7.8 kilometres) than the centre is (12.9 kilometres). The airport handled 1,230,200 passengers in 2025 against 951,766 in 2024, according to the coast guide’s reading of Civil Aviation Agency data.

A resident or visitor planning regular trips to Turkey would find the Sarpi crossing 2.8 kilometres away in a straight line. The page lists parking, 24-hour reception and security, a lobby and commercial areas, which suggests that some everyday services are meant to sit inside the complex, but it does not list tenants or opening dates for the commercial areas.

Seasonal use

Georgian visit statistics show how strongly the coast follows the summer. Using quarterly Geostat data, the coast guide counts an average of 424,800 visits a month to Adjara in the third quarter of 2025 against 100,600 in the first quarter, and puts the third quarter at 47.7% of the year’s visits.

Batumi airport handled more than 213,000 passengers in August 2025, about 2.1 times the 2025 monthly average. The same guide gives Batumi’s January mean temperature as 5.4 degrees Celsius and July’s as 22.6 degrees, with annual precipitation around 2,500 mm.

The developer’s page points the other way in places. It describes central heating throughout the building, a pool heated to 28 degrees Celsius and open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and ventilation channels in the window profiles.

Those features read as year-round provisions, and a buyer who plans to live there in winter can ask for the heating specification, the service-charge schedule that covers it and the pool’s operating season. The page describes the pool in two ways, as an outdoor pool with direct sea views and as a rooftop infinity pool 14 m long and 1.0 m deep, so the contract documents should say which one is built.

Kvariati and central Batumi side by side

Kvariati compared with central Batumi Kvariati (this project) Central Batumi Basis
Road distance to the city centre 16.0 km; 20 minutes free-flow 0 (reference point of the calculation) Coast guide, OSRM, 27 October 2026
Average new-apartment price per m² Gonio-Kvariati zone USD 2,048 (December 2025); this project USD 2,265 to 2,680 on its cards (calculated) Batumi USD 1,865 (2025 average); Old Batumi about USD 3,028 Coast guide, citing Galt and Taggart
Population Kvariati is a village; no separate Geostat figure is used here Batumi 246,267 on 1 January 2026 Coast guide, citing Geostat
Seasonality No Kvariati-specific figure in the sources; the Adjara pattern is shown for context Adjara: 47.7% of 2025 visits in July to September Coast guide, citing Geostat

The averages in that table are asking or averaged prices from different dates and bases, so the table shows what each source says and does not rank the locations. A zone average mixes finished and unfinished buildings, and the project’s own figures are unit asking prices on a developer page. The guide on Batumi apartment prices per square metre covers how those asking prices behave from project to project.

The building as the developer describes it

Three groups of facts come from the page. Structure: a cascading form built in fibre-reinforced concrete, with Schuco aluminium windows, a ventilated facade, low-emissivity glass and a central heating system. Services: Daikin variable-refrigerant-flow air conditioning, Geberit sanitary systems and high-speed elevators. Spaces: a ceiling height of 3.30 m in apartments and 5.20 m on the ground floor, a pool, a sauna, a fitness centre, a restaurant and bars, co-working space and gardens with pedestrian paths between the buildings.

The page attaches performance percentages to several of these items. Those are the manufacturers’ or the developer’s statements, they are not tested here, and the guide does not repeat them. The documents that define what is built are the permit drawings and the specification annex to the sale agreement.

One further detail matters for planning: the page says apartments take advantage of sea and mountain views, and the two view options carry different prices in the calculator, so the contract should identify the unit by block, floor and orientation.

Checklist for a viewing in each season

  1. Visit in winter as well as summer, and time the drive to the centre of Batumi at a weekday rush hour and at a summer weekend.
  2. Walk the route from the entrance to the beach and confirm the 50 metres on the ground, including any road or fence that crosses it.
  3. Ask which view option the unit has, on which floor and in which block, and compare it with the price set it belongs to.
  4. Ask for the heating specification, the pool’s operating season and the service-charge schedule that covers both.
  5. Ask which pool description applies to the built pool, outdoor or rooftop, and what its depth and length are in the permit drawings.
  6. Ask what the commercial areas will contain and who will operate the restaurant and bars.
  7. Check the winter state of the coast road and the nearest pharmacy, shop and clinic, because no source consulted lists them.

Buying in Georgia in brief

The developer describes a three-step purchase: sign the preliminary purchase agreement to become a future owner, register that future ownership with the Public Registry, and pay a deposit of USD 1,000 to USD 3,000 to hold the unit. A later block says that the contract is registered, that the buyer receives the property’s code in the state register, and that the buyer becomes the official owner within one business day after completion and full payment.

Georgian law ties ownership to registration. Article 183 of the Civil Code requires a written transaction and registration of the acquirer’s ownership right in the Public Registry, and Article 311-1 lets the parties sign in front of an authorised person in the registration authority without a separate authentication. The registry is kept by the National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR).

On the question of who may buy, the restriction in the Organic Law on Agricultural Land Ownership concerns agricultural land, which Article 4 allows to be owned by the state, municipalities, public-law entities, citizens and entities controlled by them. An apartment is not agricultural land, and the guide on whether foreigners can buy property in Georgia sets out the general position for foreign buyers. The page does not say whether the complex stands on a plot with a separate land status; the Public Registry extract answers that.

NAPR’s fee page lists registration of a change in the right to immovable property at GEL 150 for four working days, GEL 270 for one working day and GEL 350 on the day of filing. At the National Bank of Georgia rate shown on 8 November 2026, USD 1 = GEL 2.5949, GEL 150 is about USD 58.

A Public Registry extract costs GEL 20 for one working day (GEL 13 online), plus GEL 26 if requested in English, according to NAPR’s informational services fee page. NAPR’s smart-contract service allows registration to be completed online with a virtual meeting.

A buyer who signs from abroad usually needs foreign documents, such as a power of attorney, recognised in Georgia. Georgia is a contracting state to the Apostille Convention, with entry into force on 14 May 2007 according to the HCCH status table. The guide on off-plan property in Batumi describes the legal sequence before completion.

Residence, tax and financing for a foreign buyer

The developer’s page says that a residence permit can be obtained through a purchase, from USD 150,000 starting 1 March 2026.

Render of the outdoor pool with sea view at sunset

The official rule is on the Public Service Development Agency’s residence permits page and in Article 15(j) of the Law on the Legal Status of Aliens and Stateless Persons: a short-term residence permit goes to an alien who holds the property right to immovable property, other than agricultural land, with a market value exceeding USD 150,000 equivalent in GEL, as established by a certified assessor. An investment residence permit needs a value exceeding USD 300,000 equivalent.

At the NBG rate of USD 1 = GEL 2.5949, USD 150,000 is GEL 389,235. The studio at USD 65,000 and the studio with renovation at USD 79,500 are below that level.

The cheapest one-bedroom price on the page, USD 122,130, is also below it; the one-bedroom with renovation at USD 163,262 is above it, and so are the two-bedroom prices of USD 246,784 and USD 313,344. The USD 313,344 two-bedroom is also above USD 300,000. The test uses the assessor’s market value, not the contract price; the guide to getting a residence permit in Georgia covers the process.

Property tax on an individual is set by the Tax Code. Article 202(5) fixes the rate at not less than 0.8% and not more than 1% of the market value at the end of the previous year, and Article 206(1)(a) exempts a person’s taxable property, other than land, if family income in the previous year did not exceed GEL 100,000, about USD 38,537.

A natural person files a return by 1 November and pays by 15 November (Article 205). Article 201 names unfinished construction among taxable real estate; when an instalment buyer counts as owner is a question for the contract and the registry record. The guide on property tax in Georgia sets out the same rules in plain language.

Rental income and sale have their own rules. Article 81 taxes income from renting a residential space at 5% if the individual makes no deductions, and otherwise at the general 20% rate; the surplus from selling an apartment is taxed at 5%, and Article 82(1)(f.a) exempts the surplus on a residential apartment owned for more than two years. The Revenue Service’s property tax page provides the filing route, and the guide on short-term rental in Batumi covers letting rules, which apply separately from tax.

The developer’s page describes an instalment plan and no bank product. The National Bank of Georgia’s PTI and LTV page sets loan-to-value limits of 90% for lari loans and 70% for foreign-currency loans, with payment-to-income limits that depend on currency and income. Whether a bank lends to a non-resident against an unfinished unit is a matter of that bank’s policy; the mortgage guide for foreigners covers the practice.

What to prepare when reserving

The page, the registry rules and the arithmetic above point to one set of documents a buyer can have ready before paying the deposit.

  1. The reservation form with the unit identified by block, floor, area, view option and finish, and the price set it belongs to.
  2. The preliminary purchase agreement, stating the handover date, the consequence of a delay and when the Public Registry entry is made.
  3. The payment schedule with each amount, date and invoicing currency, including the start date of the 34 instalments.
  4. The full legal name and registration details of the contracting entity (the developer’s site does not name it).
  5. A current Public Registry extract for the land plot, and for the unit itself once it is registered.
  6. Escrow or payment-account details in writing for the deposit and every instalment.
  7. The specification annex for the finish, and the service-charge schedule including heating and pool operation.
  8. If the buyer signs from abroad: the power of attorney or other foreign paper, with its apostille.

How NEXT Gardens Kvariati compares with the other NEXT listings

NEXT lists thirteen projects on this site: eight on the Adjara coast (Batumi, Gonio and Kobuleti), four in Tbilisi and one in Dubai. The table lists them with the status, handover and starting price that each project page of the developer printed on 8 November 2026. Starting prices refer to the unit type named in the project’s own page and to its finish, and they are not comparable like for like: some are white box, some renovated, some furnished.

Read on their own terms, the figures do not rank the projects. On the Adjara coast, this project is the southernmost of the NEXT projects on the table, and the two Gonio projects, Radisson Blu Apartments Gonio and Wyndham Residence Gonio, are its nearest siblings by place.

Both carry a hotel-brand name in the title, while this project’s page names no operator or brand. Among the coast projects with a future date, the Wyndham Residence shows December 2026, the Radisson May 2027 and NEXT Gardens Kvariati December 2027, with NEXT Address and NEXT Magnolia at December 2028.

Three listings from other developers add context. Mira Verde Tbilisi is a Tbilisi project priced in AED by a Dubai developer, Mardi Hills is a Batumi project whose listing gives 2025 as the completion year, and Wyndham Grand Residences Gonio Family Club is a Gonio project by European Village LLC, a different developer and a different building.

None of these comparisons implies that one project is better than another; the sale documents of each project define what is bought. The guide on the Georgian Black Sea coast, the Batumi city page and the Georgia country page describe the wider coast and its market.

NEXT (developer)

Everything in this section comes from the developer’s own pages. NEXT, also written Next Property or NEXT Group, describes itself on its About page as an international developer from Georgia with projects in Georgia, the United Arab Emirates, Kenya, Spain and Zanzibar. It says the company was founded in Batumi, that its first project was NEXT Orange, and that its history begins in 2018 with NEXT Apartments, NEXT Green and NEXT White.

The same page gives a timeline: hotel projects and the Wyndham Residences in 2020, Radisson Blu Residences and NEXT Collection in 2021, NEXT Address, NEXT Coral at Dubai Islands and NEXT Gardens in 2022, and later projects in Kenya, Tbilisi and Spain. For NEXT Gardens it states that construction began in 2022. The home page counts “8 years in real estate development” and 18 projects among its figures, and lists offices in Batumi, Tbilisi, Dubai and Warsaw.

The home page marks five earlier projects, among them NEXT Orange and Villa Park, as sold out, and the site names hotel partners for two of its Gonio projects.

The site also lists awards and growth figures in promotional wording; those are the company’s statements and are not reproduced here.

Frequently asked questions

What is NEXT Gardens Kvariati?

NEXT Gardens Kvariati is a residential and mixed-use complex under construction in Kvariati, on the Black Sea coast in the Batumi area, which the developer NEXT sells as studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments and penthouses. The page lists 253 studios, 216 one-bedroom apartments, 18 two-bedroom apartments and 6 penthouses, and facilities that include a pool, a sauna, a fitness centre and a restaurant. It gives the beach as 50 metres away and the centre of Batumi as 15 minutes away.

Where is NEXT Gardens Kvariati and how far is Batumi?

Kvariati lies between Gonio and the border village of Sarpi. The developer says the beach is 50 metres away and the centre of Batumi is 15 minutes away, without naming the mode of travel. A routing calculation from 27 October 2026 gives 16.0 kilometres and 20 minutes of free-flow driving from the centre of Batumi, and the straight line on the map is about 12.9 kilometres. The Turkish border crossing at Sarpi is under 3 kilometres away in a straight line.

What prices does the developer publish for NEXT Gardens Kvariati?

The starting price is USD 65,000, for a studio of 28.7 m² with a mountain view and no renovation. The same studio with renovation is USD 79,500. One-bedroom apartments run from USD 122,130 to USD 209,703 without renovation and from USD 163,262 with it; two-bedroom apartments start at USD 246,784 without renovation and USD 313,344 with it. Sea-view studios are marked Sold Out. Penthouses carry no price on the page.

When is the handover?

The price panels give December 2027. Another block on the page says the project will be fully completed turnkey in June 2028. The page gives no month for the start of the instalments, and it states that ownership passes within one business day after completion and full payment. The handover date, the delay terms and the registration step should be read in the preliminary purchase agreement, which is the document that binds the developer.

How does the 34-month 0% plan work?

The plan is a first payment of 15%, followed by 34 monthly or quarterly instalments at 0%, per the developer. On the USD 65,000 studio that is USD 9,750 and then USD 1,625 a month, which adds up to the full price. Because the page prints no start date, the last instalment could fall after the handover dates shown. A buyer should ask for the dated schedule and for the clause that links the Public Registry entry to the final payment.

What is the difference between the sea-view and mountain-view price sets?

The page shows four price sets, sea or mountain view crossed with with or without renovation. Studios in both sea-view sets are marked Sold Out. The one-bedroom and two-bedroom prices are the same in the sea-view and mountain-view sets, and the sea-view monthly amounts of USD 3,053 and USD 4,082 match the one-bedroom prices. The unit’s view option should be named in the contract.

Can a foreigner buy an apartment in Georgia?

Yes for apartments. The Organic Law on Agricultural Land Ownership restricts agricultural land, in its Article 4, to the state, municipalities, public-law entities, citizens and entities controlled by them. An apartment is not agricultural land. The Civil Code requires a written transaction and registration in the Public Registry, and NAPR charges GEL 150, 270 or 350 depending on speed. The wider picture is in the guide on foreign buyers.

Does an apartment in the project qualify for a residence permit?

The short-term residence permit requires property, other than agricultural land, with a market value exceeding USD 150,000 equivalent in GEL, as set by a certified assessor. The studio prices of USD 65,000 and USD 79,500 and the one-bedroom price of USD 122,130 are below that level, while the one-bedroom with renovation at USD 163,262 and the two-bedroom prices are above it. The assessor’s value, not the contract price, decides.

Which taxes can a foreign owner face?

Property tax on an individual is 0.8% to 1% of market value, with an exemption when the previous year’s family income did not exceed GEL 100,000. Rent from residential space is taxed at 5% if no deductions are made, otherwise at 20%. A surplus on selling an apartment is taxed at 5% and is exempt after more than two years of ownership. A tax adviser should confirm how these rules apply to the owner’s own circumstances.

Who registers ownership, and what are the fees?

Ownership is registered by NAPR after a written transaction. The registration fee is GEL 150 for four working days, GEL 270 for one working day and GEL 350 on the day of filing, about USD 58, USD 104 and USD 135 at GEL 2.5949 per USD. An extract costs GEL 20, plus GEL 26 in English. The developer says ownership is registered within one business day after completion and full payment.
