Metro City Residence

Metro City Residence in Batumi: completed apartments near Metro City Mall and the sea

Metro City Residence is a completed residential development by Metro Avrasya Georgia at 1–1a Lech and Maria Kaczynski Street in southern Batumi. Its two residential blocks, A1 and A2, were completed in 2017. The property stands close to Metro City Forum Mall, coastal walking areas and the leisure infrastructure of New Boulevard. It is relevant to buyers seeking an existing apartment with shopping and the waterfront nearby rather than waiting for a new building.

Location and everyday surroundings

The development is in Batumi's Airport district along the southern coast. Metro City Forum, a sizeable retail destination with shops and places to eat, is close to the buildings. New Boulevard walking routes, Lech and Maria Kaczynski Park and the beach are also nearby. Unlike an isolated resort, this is a setting where seaside leisure and ordinary shopping can be combined.

For people spending several months in Batumi, the shopping centre can be especially useful. Residents do not have to travel into the historic centre for many daily purchases. However, the actual walk to a preferred beach entrance and the nearest transport stop should be assessed from the specific building, as crossings and local access routes matter.

The neighbourhood becomes livelier during summer, particularly around retail and entertainment. Buyers planning full-time residence should inspect road activity, evening noise and the light reaching the selected apartment. Sea views depend on floor level, orientation and surrounding buildings rather than the address alone.

Buildings and facilities

Buyers should consider apartment layout, views and the convenience of shared areas.

Metro Group's shopping and entertainment facilities operate nearby, while the residential project lists security, CCTV and guest parking. A neighbouring hotel, casino or gym should not be assumed to form part of the ownership rights attached to a private flat. Access to those facilities depends on their individual policies and fees.

During a viewing, follow the actual route from the selected entrance to the mall, parking and the seafront. Check lift reliability, corridors, the reception area and security. In an existing building, the condition of communal facilities can be more informative than historic architectural renderings.

Apartments, layouts and finishing

Original Metro City Residence listings include compact apartments starting at around 42.6 sq m, with studio-style layouts among the available configurations. Ceilings of approximately three metres can create flexibility for lighting and storage. An open-plan unit may work well for a couple on holiday, whereas a separate bedroom can provide more comfort during an extended stay.

Some units were originally delivered in black-frame condition, allowing owners to arrange their own interiors. Today, apartments within the same building may have very different levels of refurbishment. Check utility connections, ventilation, cooling, windows and the condition of kitchens and bathrooms before agreeing a price.

Look beyond the stated area: assess room proportions, space for a proper bed, the ability to work from home and the real outlook. A unit used regularly for short-term letting may have more wear on furnishings than a similar privately used holiday apartment.

Developer: Metro Avrasya Georgia

Metro Avrasya Georgia has operated in Georgia since 2010 across residential development, retail, hotels and transport. Metro City Residence forms part of the group's wider coastal development, which also includes Metro City Forum Mall.

Other projects include the completed Metro City Legend nearby and West Towers by Metro, a much larger high-rise scheme planned for Heroes Alley. Their scale and stage differ. For a purchase in Residence, the particular completed building and its operating rules are the priority.

Living and rental possibilities

Metro City Residence may suit personal holidays and longer-term living for buyers who want shops and walks by the Black Sea close to home. Completion makes it possible to inspect the actual entrance, utilities, refurbishment and level of activity in neighbouring premises.

For rental use, consider the individual property's condition, finishes, sound insulation, view and rules for guest access. Having a well-known mall nearby is useful but does not guarantee a particular occupancy rate or income. If an external manager is engaged, agree commissions, cleaning obligations and the owner's own-use rights.

The main advantages are completed buildings, proximity to the shore and Metro City Forum, and convenient everyday retail. Key considerations are the actual apartment's condition, commercial-area noise and recurring maintenance charges.

Airport District: Batumi’s Emerging Growth Area

Located in the southern part of Batumi, around the international airport and close to the New Boulevard, this rapidly developing district is seeing new residential complexes, commercial properties, and urban infrastructure emerge side by side. Buyers are attracted by relatively affordable entry prices and the potential for long-term property value growth as the area continues to develop.

Pros: Convenient transport connections — around 10–15 minutes to central Batumi, depending on traffic, and quick access to the main roads leading towards the Turkish border. The pebble beach is within walking or short driving distance, depending on the property’s exact location. Prices are generally more accessible than in central Batumi, making the area attractive to buyers seeking a modern new-build at a lower entry point. Local markets, shopping facilities, and everyday services are also available nearby.

Cons: Aircraft noise may occasionally be audible, particularly in properties located closer to the airport. Traffic can become heavier during the summer, especially on routes leading towards the Turkish border. The district currently has fewer premium cafés, restaurants, and landscaped parks than central Batumi, although its infrastructure continues to expand.

✅ Who it suits: Investors considering one of Batumi’s developing residential areas; frequent travellers who value proximity to the airport; budget-conscious buyers seeking a modern new-build near the coast without the premium prices of central Batumi; and car owners and business travellers who appreciate convenient road connections.

Metro Avrasya Georgia is an investment group established in Georgia in 2010. Its activities combine development, construction, hospitality, transport and commercial property. Its corporate history began with building and managing an international bus station in Batumi; the group subsequently expanded into residential and mixed-use developments.

Delivered projects and a broader business

The group names Metro City Residence, Metro City Forum Mall, the Euphoria and Sky Tower hotels, and Metro City Legend among its implemented projects. This portfolio combines housing with retail and hospitality infrastructure. Its experience spans different property types and extends beyond apartment sales.

The development direction is also represented by West Towers by Metro, Villa Kakhaberi and Gonio Inn. Apartment development, villas and hospitality property illustrate a variety of products within Adjara. They represent distinct directions within the group, with a continuing distinction between residential and hotel use.

How the diversified group is organised

The corporate list includes Metro Construction, Metro City Apartments, the Metro Georgia transport business and hotel companies. Development, contracting and property servicing have different places within the structure. An in-house construction business helps explain how delivery is organised, but the group's overall experience is not the individual history of every legal entity.

Retail properties and hotels add an operating business to development. Their role concerns both creating buildings and using them after construction: accommodating guests, operating commercial premises and organising services. Transport forms a separate part of the corporate history rather than evidence of residential delivery.

Position in the property market

Metro Avrasya Georgia follows the model of a diversified investor and developer. Its specialisation concerns complexes where residential, commercial and hospitality functions can complement one another. This gives it a different profile from a business focused on one residential building or property type.

The named implemented developments and the group's role in creating them are central to assessing construction experience. Its investment profile spans different operating models, so hotel-business performance should not automatically be attributed to an individual apartment. Metro Avrasya Georgia's profile rests on its own Georgian history since 2010, large urban developments in Batumi and the combination of development and operating businesses.
