Batumi

Batumi over the past 10 years has become one of the most attractive cities for real estate investment in Georgia. Investors carelessly invest their money in the construction of residential complexes of skyscrapers. The rapid development of the resort has led to strong social inequality. Prices for rent, services and products skyrocketed. The locals cannot afford to live comfortably in their city. Also, the rapid growth of construction has led to problems in the infrastructure of the city. There is a lot of noise, traffic jams and air pollution in Batumi.
