Origami Island, Ambassadori Island Batumi

Origami Island is a 37-storey, 135-metre tower on Sector 11-5 of Ambassadori Island, the artificial island Batumi is building off its northern seafront. The plot is 8,725.7 m² of freehold ground and the architecture is by BWC Design, which took its cue from yacht and maritime design.

The tower holds 936 apartments over underground parking: 420 hotel-style apartments on floors four to seventeen, and 516 residences from floor nineteen to thirty-seven, with four penthouses at the top. Layouts run from a 31 m² studio to a penthouse of 342.7 m².

Floor eighteen is given over entirely to wellness: a pool, a spa, a fitness centre and treatment suites. The podium below carries the reception and lobby, retail and commercial space, an outdoor pool, a conference hall and a restaurant opening onto the island promenade. Residents also get a biohacking area, a 5D cinema, a lobby bar, concierge, secure parking and a children’s area.

Hotel-style apartments are delivered fully fitted and furnished and can be enrolled in a single operator’s rental programme, which handles bookings, housekeeping, maintenance and guest services across every participating unit. Owners take 80% of net room revenue and keep a defined number of personal-use nights each year. Residences are sold as a shell or finished and furnished.

The island around it is planned as a district in its own right, with a yacht club and marina, a retail and dining promenade and white-sand beaches. The purchase price is paid 40%, 30% and 30% across 2026 to 2028. Construction finishes on 31 December 2030, the finishing works take nine months after that, and final handover is 30 September 2031.

Running costs are a flat USD 2 per square metre a month. That covers reception and concierge, cleaning of the common areas, the lifts and lighting, the roof, facade, courtyard and landscaping, the technical systems, an electrician and a plumber, security and CCTV around the clock, waste removal, inspections, the recreation areas and the grounds outside. It does not cover what happens inside your own apartment: utilities, property tax and repairs stay with you, and so do the running costs of short-term letting, meaning cleaning between guests, linen, consumables and the booking platforms’ commission.

The contract cuts both ways on breach. If either side is in material breach and has not put it right within sixty days, the penalty is 20%, and money owed back is refunded within thirty banking days of the apartment being resold, and in any case no later than twelve months from termination. The seller can make changes that the law or the authorities require, but not changes that materially worsen the apartment’s location, purpose or use without your written consent, and if the area changes the price is recalculated. A view that a third party later builds out is not the seller’s responsibility.
