Alliance Privilege in Batumi

Alliance Privilege is an Alliance Group tower at 42 Rustaveli Avenue, by the Seaside Boulevard. It is about 190 metres high with 54 floors, one of the tallest buildings in Georgia. Construction began in 2020; the frame and facade are complete, while, according to open data, work on the shared areas and the hotel part continues. The apartments in the tower were sold in black frame.

Alliance Privilege: a hotel and apartments in one tower

The tower is planned as mixed use. The lower floors, from the second to the twelfth, are set aside for a five-star hotel of about 160 rooms, which is planned to open under an international hotel brand. Above, from roughly the fourteenth floor, are apartments owned by private owners. According to open data, some of them are already let to guests through booking sites under the complex name.

For an owner this means two things. Living next to a hotel gives the building a lobby, security and service, but the rules here are stricter than in an ordinary residential building. And the terms for letting apartments may depend on the hotel management company, so we read its contract before purchase, not after.

What already works and what is still being built

The advertising for the complex lists underground parking, a pool, a spa, a gym, restaurants, conference halls and a children's centre. According to open data, some of these areas may open only in a few years, together with the hotel. So before purchase we look at the building itself rather than renderings: which lifts work, what is open in the lobby, whether the parking can be used and when the developer promises the rest. How we check a developer and its obligations is described on the page about developer checks.

Location on Rustaveli Avenue

The tower stands in the centre of Batumi, between Rustaveli Avenue and the Seaside Boulevard. Nearby are the dolphinarium, 6 May Park with Lake Nurigeli, and the beach across the boulevard. You can walk to the Old Town along the promenade. This is one of the busiest places in the city: in summer there are many tourists and it is noisy in the evenings, but in winter it does not empty the way the southern outskirts do.

Buying an apartment in Alliance Privilege

We use the Public Registry extract to check what exactly is for sale: a residential apartment or a unit for hotel use, the area, and whether there is a mortgage or other encumbrance. Then we read the contract with the developer and, if there is one, the contract with the management company: who runs the letting, how income is shared, whether you can let the apartment yourself. Shell apartments need full renovation, and in a tower like this its order is agreed with the building in advance. How unit management works in buildings with an operator is described on the page about aparthotel management, and the renovation itself on the page about black frame renovation.
