MAQRO CITY Tbilisi brings new standards of urban development in "the city within the city"

by: Entrepreneur Georgia

MAQRO DEVELOPMENT- has presented to the public its new large‑scale project – MAQRO CITY Tbilisi . Sales have already begun, drawing significant interest from both buyers and investors.

The project is located in one of the capital’s strategic locations: adjacent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs at 30 Noe Ramishvili Street, and aims to introduce a modern, multifunctional lifestyle. MAQRO CITY Tbilisi integrates residential, commercial, and office zones—allowing residents to live, work, and relax all within one space.

The project’s main asset is the abundance of recreational and green areas, which greatly enhance quality of life. At a time when green space is scarce in the capital, MAQRO CITY Tbilisi residents will have up to 50,000 m² of relaxing, green spaces.

Infrastructure includes both sports and entertainment areas—from swimming pools and tennis courts to children’s playgrounds and jogging tracks.

What gives MAQRO CITY Tbilisi its exceptional investment appeal are many factors—among them the integration of the international Mövenpick Living hotel brand within the project territory. The project promises to inaugurate a new era of living aligned with modern standards in Tbilisi.

Below, Mariam Gogokhia, Head of Marketing, and Sopho Tsamalashvili, Head of Sales at MAQRO DEVELOPMENT, speak with Entrepreneur Georgia about the project, company experience, and future plans:

First, let’s talk about the current project—what is the main idea behind “MAQRO CITY Tbilisi” and what is its scale?

Mariam Gogokhia: When working on projects, our team never settles for just creating modern infrastructure. We build conceptual, urban complexes that first and foremost unite people, their unique stories, culture, and distinct personalities. This vision gave birth to this project: a “city within a city”, where every detail is designed around people. A place imbued with the special emotion characteristic of Tbilisi. The “city within a city” concept is not limited to its name. It is reflected in every detail—including the visual identity. The pheasant in MAQRO CITY Tbilisi’s logo is not merely a graphic element but a representation of the set of values that accurately reflect both the project’s idea and Tbilisi’s character and history.

For centuries, Tbilisi has been known not only for its landmarks and hospitality, but also for values that make it unique. It is a multicultural center of the region, a bridge between Eastern and Western civilizations, uniting people of diverse national, religious, and cultural identities.

MAQRO CITY Tbilisi is a dignified continuation of these values—a project that not only carries on Tbilisi’s historical diversity, but also answers contemporary living standards and challenges. It is a “city within a city” where Eastern hospitality meets Western functionality and innovation. A space that blends cultural heritage with a vision of the future.

What infrastructure elements are included in the project?

Sopho Tsamalashvili: MAQRO CITY Tbilisi is being developed over 100,000 m², approximately half of which is dedicated to green and recreational areas. These include four swimming pools, three tennis courts, two basketball courts, open and indoor fitness areas, cycling and jogging tracks, as well as children’s entertainment zones. This clearly demonstrates the company’s commitment to the green concept and promotion of a healthy lifestyle.

As for office spaces, there will be flexible-designed offices tailored to meet the needs of both small and large companies.

Sales have already begun—can you share how the process is going?

Just two weeks after the official announcement of the project, over 700 apartments have already been sold—demonstrating the strength of our effective strategy, solid positioning, and high level of customer trust. In the early sales phase, buyers could purchase apartments at the most favorable price—this is a key part of our strategy. Price increases are scheduled in phases, directly tied to sales pace and volume. From the current results, it’s clear apartments sell quickly, making price increases practically inevitable. Therefore, we encourage customers to act fast, as we can definitively say: “prices will rise.”

What is the starting price per residential square meter and what are the purchase conditions at this stage?

As always, during the pre‑sales phase, MAQRO DEVELOPMENT offers special conditions. At this stage, buyers can purchase at a price starting from USD 1,250 per m². We offer in‑house interest‑free installment plans with monthly payments from USD 900, and a down payment starting from just 20%.

How will the apartments be delivered to future residents?

Future residents will receive apartments fully finished. This means painted walls, laminated flooring, aluminum windows and sliding doors, ceramic tiles in kitchen and bathroom, underfloor heating; a furnished kitchen with built‑in appliances—oven, stove, and extractor. Bathrooms will be fully equipped with sanitary fixtures.

Every apartment features modern layouts, energy efficiency, and high‑quality interior and exterior finishes. The project also includes open and covered parking facilities.

What types of residential apartments are available, and what are the differences between them?

MAQRO DEVELOPMENT always strives to make apartment purchase as accessible as possible to a broad audience. That’s why the first phase placed special emphasis on compact apartments—starting from 45 m². The company’s strategy truly paid off: of the 700 apartments sold, 80% are one‑bedroom units. This also highlights strong investor interest in MAQRO CITY Tbilisi.

The project also offers apartments with private yards, ideal for families and those who want closer connection to nature. Smartly laid‑out spaces ensure more comfort and functionality, enhancing desirability.

We also offer terrace‑type apartments, which feature wide open spaces and unique city views—adding extra comfort and aesthetic appeal. In these apartments, the terrace becomes a functional zone offering extra coziness and beauty. Standard‑type apartments feature thoughtfully designed layouts, energy‑efficient systems, and high‑quality internal and external finishes. Every detail is tailored to modern lifestyle demands, making the apartment comfortable and functional both for living and investing.

In MAQRO CITY Tbilisi, customers can also purchase branded apartments under Mövenpick Living—investment in Mövenpick Living means acquiring real estate within an internationally recognized Swiss hotel with premium service, brand reliability, and stable investment returns. All stages—from property purchase to management and income generation—are handled by the company, giving investors the opportunity to earn stable income without extra effort.

Where is the project located and why is this location strategically important?

Mariam Gogokhia: The location of MAQRO CITY Tbilisi is not just a geographic choice but a well‑thought decision. Key factors include dense existing infrastructure and an environment conducive to both residential and commercial development.

The complex is situated in one of the city’s strategic districts on Noe Ramishvili Street, surrounded by major transport hubs and important public and commercial institutions. Metro station “Samgori” is just minutes away, ensuring fast connection to any part of the city. The international airport is nearby, adding further value and advantage to the project. Around the site lie the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the bustling East Point shopping center, and within minutes by car is the historic center of Old Tbilisi.

Future large‑scale infrastructure transformations add further appeal—such as the planned direct connection of the Kakheti Highway to the city entrance and the construction of a new international airport built to modern standards, which will significantly increase visitor numbers and drive demand for residential, commercial, and investment spaces. These infrastructure initiatives further elevate the value and investment attractiveness of MAQRO CITY Tbilisi for both local and foreign investors.

What types of users are the residential, commercial, and office spaces aimed at?

Sopho Tsamalashvili: MAQRO CITY Tbilisi is a complex where living, working, and leisure are possible within a single space. Based on previous projects, the commercial zone and office spaces in MAQRO CITY Tbilisi will be enhanced. Specifically, commercial spaces will be located in blocks with facades facing both the exterior and internal areas of the complex—ensuring accessibility for residents and outside visitors alike.

Office blocks are fully integrated into the complex’s concept, with features such as private and shared workspaces, meeting rooms, relaxation zones, and open terraces.

Functional zoning of commercial and residential areas ensures a harmonious, well‑balanced environment that combines comfortable living conditions with access to everyday services.

Flexible planning allows spaces to adapt to various business needs—from everyday retail to cafés, bars, and service providers.

About the company: what is MAQRO GROUP, when and how was it founded?

Mariam Gogokhia: MAQRO GROUP is a multidisciplinary international company operating in multiple countries and executing impactful projects. Its experience and high professional standards are reflected in every project, ensuring quality and reliability for customers. The company has been operating in Georgia since 2013, and is one of the largest investment companies, actively participating in the country’s economic development. MAQRO operates in the construction, real estate, and tourism sectors.

Despite high competition, our team stands out with strategic vision, rich experience, and high reliability, making MAQRO an investment leader.

In Georgia, the company works in three main areas: MAQRO DEVELOPMENT, focused on innovative residential and commercial projects; MAQRO CONSTRUCTION, working with private and public sectors on infrastructure; and MAQRO TOURISM, which builds premium‑class hotels and tourism complexes.

What was the company’s initial goal and mission?

MAQRO DEVELOPMENT’s aim is first and foremost to create eco‑friendly green spaces and complexes built with care for people. Environments that promote healthy living and establish necessary infrastructure for it. We also aim to create new future‑city urban planning—spaces that combine all infrastructure in one location, creating a comfortable environment for living.

What standards does MAQRO DEVELOPMENT use in its construction processes?

MAQRO DEVELOPMENT operates during construction according to international standards. The company uses modern construction technologies, safety rules, and a strict quality control system, ensuring the strength, reliability, and longevity of its complexes. For us it’s especially important that every detail meets both local and international norms—from the planning stage to final handover. We collaborate with trusted suppliers, use certified materials, and continuously raise our technical team’s qualifications.

MAQRO DEVELOPMENT’s standout projects include “Green Diamond” and “Green Budapest.” How can these serve as models for other developers in Georgia and the region?

Sopho Tsamalashvili: MAQRO DEVELOPMENT was the first in Georgia to introduce green concept residential complexes. Green Budapest and Green Diamond are not only energy‑efficient and green projects but eco‑friendly ones that prioritize customer needs. This approach encouraged other developers to create similar concept and scale projects. A clear example is Green Diamond.

he Green Diamond project was located in an area where no residential or commercial complex existed. The company’s correct approach, innovative methods, and precise planning generated interest among other major investors. Today the area is fully developed by various developers, highlighting MAQRO DEVELOPMENT’s unique approach and vision.

MAQRO CITY Tbilisi is being built based on the experience and observations from our previous projects. In this new project, green space has significantly increased, and infrastructure expanded—making it a self‑sufficient living and investment space.

How does the company ensure quality control and customer satisfaction?

Every phase, from project planning through construction to handover, is strictly controlled by experienced professionals.

Maintaining quality standards is one of our top priorities. We use modern construction technologies and internationally certified materials to ensure object durability, sustainability, and safety.

Regarding customer satisfaction—each client is important to us. We understand that choosing a home comes with high expectations, so we strive to be as attentive as possible. We offer detailed consultations, answer all questions, and provide high‑quality service. Even after handover, we maintain active communication with residents—this helps us earn trust and sustain good relationships with each client.

What is the company’s vision for future development? Does MAQRO DEVELOPMENT plan to expand regionally?

Mariam Gogokhia: The company constantly seeks to further improve quality, implement new technologies, and adopt modern construction methods.

In the future, we plan large‑scale and multifunctional projects that will not only improve quality of life but also make a significant contribution to urban development.

We are already working on a new project which—like our previous ones—will stand out both in scale and functionality. But details will be shared later—we can only say for now that this new project, like its predecessors, will attract attention.
