American media outlets Forbes and Newsweek have published the first renderings of the Tbilisi Downtown, a large-scale multifunctional development planned in Georgia's capital city.
According to the articles, the total investment in the project is estimated at $2 billion. The complex will consist of six buildings, with the central feature being the Trump Tower Tbilisi.
The American publications report that the Trump-branded skyscraper is expected to become the tallest building in Georgia and will create a new large-scale urban development hub in the Georgian capital.
Designed by Gensler, which is described as “the world’s largest architecture firm” in an earlier statement from the developers behind the latest project, Trump Tower Tbilisi is expected to reach around 70 stories, becoming the tallest building in Georgia.
The Tbilisi Downtown development consists of six towers, with Trump Tower Tbilisi forming its centerpiece. Spanning around 600,000 square meters (around 6.4 million square feet) in the heart of the Georgian capital, the development will offer panoramic views over Central Park.
The mixed-use development will feature a business center, luxury retail, a branded luxury hotel, as well as dining and entertainment offerings. Total investment in the project is estimated to be around $2 billion, the developer team said in a statement shared with Newsweek.
The project aims to underscore the Georgian capital’s emergence as a key business hub and gateway to international business in Eastern Europe and Asia, as well as its growing profile among global luxury property buyers, according to the developer team.
