If you are planning to buy an apartment in SportCity Batumi, it is a rational choice for those who value two things at once: proximity to the sea and the airport, and a format that is “not just a residential building,” but a complex with its own sports, wellness, and business infrastructure. SportCity is more often considered for rental income and as a long-term investment, because the project is tied to the New Boulevard and is based on year-round demand scenarios — sports, leisure, remote work, and short trips.
About the residential complex
Concept
SportCity by One Development is presented as the first multifunctional residential project in Georgia built around a professional sports ecosystem. This is not “just another high-rise by the sea”: the complex brings together hotel-style service, sports facilities, retail, and coworking spaces in one location — things that are usually spread across the city and depend on the season. That is why SportCity is chosen when you need real estate that can maintain tenant interest not only in summer, but also during the off-season.
Property class
By Batumi market standards, this is an investment product in a resort-urban format: the focus on the New Boulevard location and service infrastructure (pool, SPA, sports, coworking) places the project above the typical mass-market segment, where value is based only on square meters and the view. There are many new developments in the city, but supply shortages usually occur specifically in projects with a clear operational concept and built-in demand drivers.
Architecture and property format
The project is divided into four functional blocks: — a hotel building with a 25-meter swimming pool and SPA; — a commercial sports block with martial arts zones and rooftop courts (padel and squash); — a retail building for everyday shopping; — a business center with coworking spaces.
The property format is apartments. At the current stage, the available units range from 30.5 to 31.4 m² (studios). At the same time, the concept of the complex includes everything from studios to two-bedroom apartments, which suggests that the range of layouts will expand as the project develops.
Completion date and stage of implementation
The completion date for the complex is stated as the end of 2030. This is a project with a long investment cycle, and it makes more sense to view it through the lens of location development and the rollout of the full infrastructure, rather than as a quick resale opportunity.
Project features
The key difference between SportCity and most new developments in Batumi is not a generic claim of “comfort,” but specific infrastructure that generates a steady flow of users: a 5,000 m² recreational zone, virtual sports simulators, a multi-sport stadium, and running tracks. The concept is further complemented by underground parking with electric vehicle charging stations and a 24/7 concierge service.
The developer, One Development, has been operating in Batumi for several years and is developing multiple projects in the city. For buyers, this is an important factor: a developer with a portfolio of properties in the same region usually offers a more predictable product and operational approach.
Location and district advantages
Where it is located
The complex is located in Batumi, in the Airport district, within the New Boulevard area. The distance to the sea is about 850 meters.
Proximity to the sea, city center, and airport
It is about a 10-minute walk to the sea and around a 5-minute drive to the airport. This location creates stable demand from short-stay tourists, medium-term renters, and people who value transport accessibility without being tied to the city center.
What is nearby and why the area is chosen
The New Boulevard is one of the most actively developing areas of Batumi. Demand here is supported not only by the beach, but also by a modern urban environment: promenades, new residential and service projects, and transport accessibility. The Airport district is perceived by the market as a point where resort and business traffic intersect, making it particularly convenient for rental-oriented scenarios.

Layouts and prices
The current offering in the complex includes: — sizes: 30.5–31.4 m²; — format: studio apartments; — prices: from $44,225, with the upper range reaching $59,157; — price per m²: from $1,450.
For rental purposes, the most liquid format is considered to be compact units. Such apartments are easier to rent out both short-term and medium-term, and upon resale they fall into the broadest price segment of the Batumi market. In SportCity, this effect is strengthened by the infrastructure, which creates additional demand regardless of the season. Payment terms should be уточнять individually.
Investment attractiveness
The investment logic of SportCity is based on a combination of three factors: the New Boulevard location, proximity to the airport, and rich mixed-use infrastructure. Thanks to this, the project is aimed not only at the tourist season, but also at year-round demand from tenants who lead an active lifestyle or work remotely.
For a project with a completion date at the end of 2030, the investment horizon is logically considered medium-term or long-term. The main value is formed as construction progresses and all functional blocks are launched, when the complex begins to operate as a single ecosystem.
Purchasing real estate in Georgia is available to foreign citizens, but the ownership format and legal nuances of the transaction always require individual verification. These issues are best considered separately from the investment logic of the property itself.
SportCity is in demand for rentals precisely because it combines a resort location with sports and lifestyle infrastructure, reducing the seasonality of demand compared to typical seaside residential buildings.
Advantages of the complex
- New Boulevard and Airport district — a balance of resort lifestyle and transport accessibility
- Mixed-use format with four functional blocks in one complex
- 25-meter swimming pool and SPA as part of the core concept
- A full-scale sports cluster, not just a symbolic gym
- 5,000 m² recreational zone
- Underground parking and EV charging stations
- Compact unit sizes, highly востребованные for rental and resale
Who this complex is suitable for
Investors — if stable rental demand matters more than just seasonal tourism. For living — for those who choose an active lifestyle and infrastructure within the complex. For relocation — for those for whom proximity to the airport and a modern district is critical. For passive income — for those planning to rent out the apartments as the main usage scenario.
If you are considering SportCity Batumi as an investment or a place to live, it makes sense to select a specific option based on your goals: floor, view, apartment format, and usage strategy. A consultation helps evaluate the property in the context of the market and make a decision without unnecessary assumptions.
