The LEPL Spatial and Urban Development Agency has officially approved the detailed development plan for "Ambassador Island Batumi," a large-scale project featuring a multifunctional tourist complex spread across two artificial peninsulas and one artificial island.
The ambitious development, spanning an area of 84 hectares, is set to transform the region into a hub of modern infrastructure and tourism. The plan, created by the British urban planning firm ARUP, incorporates innovative planning solutions backed by decades of experience. ARUP collaborated with COLLIERS’ London and Tbilisi offices to conduct a feasibility study for the project, ensuring a comprehensive approach to its implementation.
According to the agency, the development will significantly impact the Adjara region, generating employment for over 7,000 locals and contributing to its economic growth.
The project includes two artificial peninsulas, each covering an estimated 20 hectares, and an artificial island called "Ghuza," spanning approximately 10 hectares. The southern and northern peninsulas, along with the island, will feature a mix of commercial, entertainment, sports, educational, healthcare, residential, and tourist-recreational infrastructure built to modern standards. A protective pier stretching 1.3 kilometers will also be constructed.
The first phase of the "Ambassador Island Batumi" project will be executed with an initial investment of $100 million by the Ambassador company. The project was first announced in October 2021, marking it as one of Batumi's largest investment initiatives to date.
This development aligns with Batumi's vision of becoming a premier destination for tourism and entertainment while advancing economic and urban growth in the region.
