At the Batumi oil terminal, right at the entrance to the city, it is planned to build 58-story skyscrapers with a height of 217.5 meters - these are record parameters for this location. The project includes the construction of a complex for more than 800 apartments and 12 commercial facilities at the 1st Lane of Noneshvili. It is implemented by the company "Commone Holding", recently renamed LLC "Murex Development". However, the implementation of the project is accompanied by litigation and problems with complying with municipal planning requirements, reports the local publication Batumelebi. For construction, the company must clear the site of a two-story emergency building located there. The total area of the territory is 3,735 sq. m. The developer received part of the land from private owners in exchange for future apartments, and the government of Adjara transferred another part through the municipality as part of a program to replace emergency housing. Meanwhile, according to the publication, as of October 29, 2026, construction had not begun. Several of the company's owners told reporters that after the initial agreements, company representatives stopped communicating with them. One of the residents said he went to court to recover the property. Parameters and environmental issues: the development coefficient has increased to an extreme 17.0. At the same time, the construction site borders the Bartskhana River. According to the technical regulations of the Georgian government, a 10-meter water protection strip must be maintained along rivers up to 25 km long. However, the project documentation provides for the construction of a protective wall along the river, as Batumelebi noted, the question remains whether the declared development parameters will be able to meet the requirements of the regulations. The publication links the possibility of approving the project under special conditions with the fact that it is being implemented within the framework of the emergency housing regeneration program.
