A Dubai developer that funds its own buildings, now building its first tower in Batumi

Holm Developments

HOLM Developments builds from Dubai on a fully self-funded basis. It launched its first building there in November 2025 and sold it out within ten days; its second sold out too. In August 2026 it signed with Ambassadori Island Batumi for a 140,000 m² complex, its first project outside the UAE, launched under the line “Bringing Dubai to Batumi”.

THE TRACK RECORD

Holm Developments's record.

HOLM was named in Construction Business News Middle East's Top 10 Rising Developers in UAE 2026 in January 2026, seven months before the Batumi announcement. The name comes from hulm, the Arabic word for dream, joined to home.

Delivery record

Because no HOLM building has been handed over yet, there is no completed-project record to judge the company on. What can be checked is how quickly its inventory has cleared: Holm One had more than half its units booked on launch day and sold out in ten days, and LINEA by HOLM sold out as well.

Years active

A young developer with a fast start. HOLM launched its first Dubai project in November 2025 and had signed its first international agreement by August 2026.. Two Dubai buildings launched and sold out, a third planned in Arjan, and one project under way in Batumi. Nothing has completed yet; the Dubai pipeline is scheduled from Q2 2028.

Financial strength

HOLM states that it is fully self-financed and holds more than AED 1.1 billion in land and construction guarantees across its Dubai portfolio. The same figure appears in independent trade coverage from January 2026. It is a company-level figure, not a guarantee attached to any single building.

THE HONEST VIEW

Strengths & considerations.

Where Holm Developments shines
  • Both Dubai buildings sold out, one of them in ten days, which says the pricing has met the market so far.
  • Self-funded construction means the programme does not depend on a lender's appetite mid-build.
  • One Peninsula is priced from $130,000 for a studio, below the Batumi waterfront average.
  • Apartments are handed over fully furnished, so a rental unit can be let from day one.
  • Georgia sells freehold to any nationality, with title registered at the National Agency of Public Registry.
Worth considering
  • No HOLM building has been completed and handed over yet, so its delivery record is untested.
  • The company launched its first project in November 2025; it is young, whatever the size of its pipeline.
  • One Peninsula has no announced handover date and no published payment plan.
  • Ambassadori Island is reclaimed land still being built out, so the surrounding masterplan will be a construction site for years.
  • The AED 1.1 billion in guarantees is a company-reported figure covering the Dubai portfolio, not this building.

GOOD TO KNOW

Common questions about Holm Developments.

Who is HOLM Developments?+

A Dubai-based private developer led by chief executive Sergey Avayan. It builds on its own capital rather than borrowing, launched its first Dubai building in November 2025, and signed its first international project, in Batumi, in August 2026.

Has HOLM completed any buildings?+

Not yet. Two Dubai projects, Holm One and LINEA by HOLM, have launched and sold out, and the Dubai pipeline is scheduled to complete from Q2 2028. There is no handed-over building to inspect, which is the main thing to weigh against the sales record.

What is HOLM building in Georgia?+

One Peninsula, a 64-floor tower on Ambassadori Island in Batumi, launched under the line “Bringing Dubai to Batumi”. HOLM has bought most of the land on the island. Studios start at $130,000 and every apartment is handed over fully furnished.

How large is the Batumi agreement?+

HOLM signed with Ambassadori Island Batumi in August 2026 for a multifunctional complex of 140,000 square metres inside the island's masterplan, with a stated investment above $250 million. Gocha Kamkia signed for the island and Sergey Avayan for HOLM.

Is HOLM financially solid?+

The company states it is fully self-financed and holds more than AED 1.1 billion in land and construction guarantees across its Dubai portfolio, a figure that also appears in independent trade coverage from January 2026. It is company-level and not a guarantee on any one building, and it has not been independently audited.

What does HOLM build?+

Compact apartments in tall buildings: studios and one and two bedroom layouts, handed over furnished, with a large shared amenity floor. LINEA in Dubai is around 210 units over 11 storeys; One Peninsula in Batumi runs to 64 floors.

Can a foreigner buy a HOLM apartment in Batumi?+

Yes. Georgia sells freehold with no restriction on nationality, and title is registered in the buyer's name at the National Agency of Public Registry.
