Construction of The First Tower of Ambassadori Island Batumi—the first artificial island project in the Black Sea is progressing according to schedule. The multifunctional complex, which will feature residential apartments, a five-star hotel, a vertiport, wellness facilities, and premium-class infrastructure, has entered another significant stage of construction.

Construction activities are currently advancing simultaneously across two key zones of the site.

In Zone A, work is focused on the construction of the third floor. The formwork area for the floor slab has already reached 3,820 square metres, while 950 linear metres of reinforcement are being installed in preparation for the next concrete pour. Upon completion, this three-level structure will accommodate a modern parking facility designed for up to 300 vehicles, providing convenient access and enhanced comfort for residents and visitors.

The first half of 2026 marked a transformative period for Ambassadori Island Batumi, defined by major milestones and strategic achievements. The project not only maintained its dynamic pace of development but also significantly expanded its international presence and network of strategic partnerships. The continued expansion of reclaimed land in the Black Sea, active positioning on the global investment stage, and substantial progress across the construction site are further establishing the first artificial island project in the Black Sea as one of the region's most ambitious urban developments.

During the first six months of the year, the Ambassadori Island Batumi team carried out an extensive international campaign to promote both the project and Georgia's investment potential.

At MIPIM 2026 in Cannes, one of the world's leading real estate forums, the project's unique concept was presented to global industry leaders and key decision-makers. In addition, at MIIF 2026, held at the Yacht Club de Monaco, the Ambassadori Island Batumi team engaged directly with international investors on one of Europe's most prestigious investment platforms.

The project's engineering scale also reached a new milestone during the first half of 2026. The reclaimed land advanced an additional 200 metres into the Black Sea, bringing the total length of the reclaimed land to 500 metres.

At the same time, the project hosted a landmark event on the island itself - the symbolic capsule laying ceremony for The First Tower. The ceremony was attended by a high-level delegation from the Government of Georgia, further highlighting the project's strategic importance at both the national and international levels.

Today, construction of The First Tower continues on a daily basis. The structural framework of the building is steadily rising, while foundation works are progressing with the highest standards of engineering precision and technical excellence.

As part of the next phase of development, the project is actively preparing to launch the local production of Xblocks. These specially engineered concrete units will be used for the construction of the island's coastal protection structures, ensuring its long-term resilience, stability, and safety.

Ambassadori Island Batumi continues to demonstrate unprecedented development momentum. Construction is progressing significantly ahead of the original schedule, with investment commitments being fulfilled five years ahead of plan. The 48-hectare land area created in the Black Sea has already been officially commissioned, while the project has now entered a new phase of above-ground construction, further demonstrating both the scale of the development and the remarkable pace of its progress.

Representatives of Ambassadori Island Batumi, together with Paris Kesisov, Co-Founder of Exclusive Poland, participated in the Polish–Georgian Economic and Investment Forum held in Tbilisi. The event was organized with the support of the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Georgia.

The forum brought together representatives of government institutions, international organizations, investment agencies, infrastructure companies, and business leaders from both Poland and Georgia. The event focused on strengthening bilateral economic cooperation, fostering new partnerships, and exploring investment opportunities between the two countries.

Discussions covered sustainable infrastructure development, investment climate, economic growth, and regional connectivity. The program featured senior representatives from the public and private sectors, as well as international financial institutions, highlighting the growing importance of cross-border cooperation and long-term investment.

For Ambassadori Island Batumi, participation in such platforms is particularly significant, as the project represents one of the largest investment and urban development initiatives in the Black Sea region.
Engaging with international stakeholders and exchanging expertise aligns with the project's long-term vision of creating a globally connected, future-oriented destination.

As part of the International Day of the Seafarer celebrations, a ceremonial reception dedicated to Georgian seafarers and their families was held in Batumi on June 24 with the support of Ambassadori Island Batumi. The event aimed to recognize the professional achievements of seafarers, acknowledge their hard work, and highlight the significant contribution they make to the development of Georgia’s maritime sector and the country’s representation within the international shipping industry.

The reception provided guests with an opportunity to exchange experiences in an informal setting, strengthen professional connections, and celebrate their professional holiday together.

During the event, attendees were addressed by Gocha Kamkia, CEO of Ambassadori Island Batumi, who spoke about the importance of the seafaring profession and emphasized the vital role that the sea and the maritime industry play in the development of both Batumi and Georgia.

“Ambassadori Island is pleased to support this event, as we are developing the largest project in the Black Sea, which includes the creation of two peninsulas and an island. The development will feature the region’s first international-standard yacht club. We fully understand the challenges and unique demands of the seafaring profession, and for that reason we wanted to be among the supporters of this important occasion,” said Gocha Kamkia.

As one of the largest development projects on the Black Sea coast, Ambassadori Island Batumi will continue to support initiatives that promote maritime culture, strengthen the professional maritime community, and contribute to the development of Batumi as a modern maritime hub.

The International Day of the Seafarer was established by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in 2011 and is observed annually on June 25. The day is dedicated to recognizing the invaluable contribution of seafarers worldwide, whose work is essential to the uninterrupted functioning of international shipping and global trade. In Georgia, the occasion has been celebrated on a significant scale for many years.

The debut building of Ambassadori Island Batumi, a landmark structure of profound historical significance, has officially entered its next phase of construction. This premium multifunctional complex seamlessly integrates residential apartments, a dedicated helipad, entertainment and wellness spaces, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, fitness centers, and branded boutique shops. The bespoke interior architecture for the residences was designed by the acclaimed Italian studio D73.

To guarantee the structural integrity and long-term durability of the high-rise on this newly reclaimed peninsula, engineering techniques of the highest international standards are being deployed. To optimize structural reliability and absolute stability, the heavy foundation piles penetrate to an impressive depth of 65 meters.

Currently, active construction is progressing at the +6.00 meter mark. The vertical reinforced columns for the parking structure and the primary elevator shaft walls have already been successfully poured. Simultaneously, formwork assembly and reinforcement operations for the third level continue on the upper deck. On the main footprint of The First Tower itself, foundation engineering and ground preparation progress in parallel.

Advancing at this rapid pace, well ahead of schedule, serves as clear proof that the Black Sea's most innovative development is unfolding with an exceptional combination of stringent international standards and unprecedented construction momentum.

Following the successful completion of a rigorous initial testing phase, the first 35 foundation piles for the tower have already been installed. The commencement of full foundation works was preceded by a comprehensive cycle of test pile installations and extensive laboratory validations.

Unprecedented momentum continues to define the Ambassadori Island Batumi project. Progress remains substantially ahead of the original timeline, fulfilling core investment commitments a remarkable five years ahead of schedule. The 48 hectares of newly created land in the Black Sea have already been officially commissioned. With operations now transitioning rapidly into above-ground structural works, the sheer scale and dynamic pace of this megaproject are becoming more visible by the day.

Within the framework of this agreement, “Origami Holding” will invest 200 million USD in the construction of a multi-functional complex situated on the territory of “Ambassadori Island Batumi". This investment represents a significant step toward the island's development as a premier multi-functional destination, further solidifying its status as a rapidly growing economic and tourism hub.

“Origami” is one of the region’s largest and most diversified holdings. Over its 18 years of operation, the company has realized numerous landmark projects, including White Sails, one of Batumi’s most ambitious large-scale developments. To date, “Origami Holding” has designed more than 3,000,000 square meters across Georgia and has served over one million guests within the hospitality sector.

The partnership brings together two companies united by years of experience, a long-term development vision, and a shared goal of creating projects that contribute to the country’s urban and economic advancement.

“This partnership is a powerful testament to the scale and investment potential of “Ambassadori Island Batumi,” stated Gocha Kamkia, General Director of Ambassadori Island Batumi. “The involvement of a major local partner like “Origami Holding” clearly illustrates the synergy between our project and the Georgian business community. Together, we are building a new development platform that significantly enhances the role of Batumi, and the region as a whole, as a new economic and tourism hub.”

The planned project will be integrated into the broader development of “Ambassadori Island”. Conceived as a new center for residential, business, leisure, and investment purposes, the artificial island project involves the formation of two artificial peninsulas and one artificial island in the sea. It sets a new standard for urban development in the region, where a modern "smart city" is being created in full compliance with the principles of sustainable development.
