Alliance Centropolis in Batumi

Alliance Centropolis is a complex under construction by Alliance Group at the junction of Khimshiashvili Street and Rustaveli Avenue, by the sea. In sales materials and the press it is also called World Trade Center Batumi. It consists of three towers on a shared podium: according to reference books on high-rise buildings, towers A and C rise to about 210 metres and 56 floors, and tower B to 228 metres and 62 floors. If construction is finished as planned, tower B will become the tallest building in Georgia. Completion is expected in 2027–2028.

Alliance Centropolis: three towers on one podium

The towers are not being built at the same time. According to open data, the frame of tower C has already reached the top, while the other two are still under construction. Public areas are planned in the podium, and under the complex are three levels of underground parking for more than a thousand cars. According to the developer, the sea is about 40 metres away. Apartments are sold in black frame.

The scale here is large even for Batumi, and it has to be taken into account. While construction continues, it is noisy and dusty around, and the neighbouring towers will be completed at different times. Whoever buys an apartment in the first finished tower will live next to the construction of the second and third for several years. For daily letting this is a minus too: guests notice noise and scaffolding first.

Location at Khimshiashvili and Rustaveli

The complex stands where Rustaveli Avenue turns into Khimshiashvili Street, where the centre meets the resort south. To the south along the sea runs the Khimshiashvili area with its high-rises and the New Boulevard; to the north is the centre with parks and the Old Town. This works both for living and for letting: the beach is within walking distance and the centre a few minutes by taxi.

Buying an apartment off-plan

Buying in a building under construction means buying a promise, and there is more to check than in a completed one. We look at the building permit and the stage of work on the specific tower, the registration of the right to the future apartment, and the contract: deadlines, penalties for delay, what black frame includes, how the area and floor are fixed. How such a purchase works is described on the page about off-plan apartments.

If the apartment is bought on a developer instalment plan, we read the payment schedule, the consequences of late payment and when the buyer becomes the owner. More on the page about developer instalment plans.

Handover and renovation after completion

When the tower is completed, the apartment has to be accepted: checking the area, ceiling height, flatness of the slabs, windows and balcony doors, and service connections. Defects go into the certificate before signing; afterwards it is harder to get them fixed. How we carry out such a check is described on the page about accepting an apartment from the developer. After acceptance, renovation from black frame begins.
