Tbilisi Gardens In Saburtalo
Tbilisi Gardens in Saburtalo: A Complete Guide for Buyers and Renters
- Tbilisi Gardens is a three-tower gated complex on Mikheil Asatiani Street in Saburtalo, five minutes on foot from Delisi metro, with Tower 1 delivered in 2018, Tower 2 in 2023, and Tower 3 due in Q3 2026.
- Apartments run from about 59 to 245 square meters with 3.05 meter ceilings, and developer stock started around $2,670 per square meter as of mid-August 2026.
- Most units sell in white frame or green frame condition, which means bare concrete or a partially prepped shell, so budget for a full fit-out unless the listing says otherwise.
- Rents on our books have ranged from $1,300 for an 86 square meter one-bedroom to $3,500 for a furnished 127 square meter two-bedroom, and furnishing quality moves the price more than floor area does.
- The complex suits people who want amenities, security, and a lock-and-leave setup. It’s a poor fit if you want an Old Tbilisi balcony or you’re allergic to monthly service charges.
If you’ve spent more than a week apartment hunting in Tbilisi, someone has already mentioned Tbilisi Gardens to you. It’s the tall glass thing you can see from half of Saburtalo, and it’s the default recommendation from every agent who wants to look impressive on a first viewing.
That doesn’t make it wrong. It does mean most of what you’ll read about it is developer copy. Here’s what we tell clients when they ask, based on the units we’ve actually listed, rented, and walked through.
What the complex actually is
Three towers, built in stages by Quadrum Global, on a gated site at 6 and 10 Mikheil Asatiani Street. Tower 1 was finished in 2018 at 29 floors. Tower 2 followed in 2023, also 29 floors. Tower 3 runs to 31 floors and was scheduled for handover in Q3 2026, so if you’re reading this fresh, that one is either just delivered or about to be.
Roughly 368 apartments across the site. Monolithic frame construction, which is standard for seismic zones here. Underground parking with up to two spaces per unit, plus guest parking and separate storage rooms.
The interiors and shared spaces were designed by Vicente Wolf, an American designer, with MYS Architects out of Israel on the architecture. The developer’s line is that it’s the first tower in Tbilisi built to New York construction standards. Treat that as marketing, but the build quality is genuinely at the top end of what’s available in the city.
You can see what’s currently available in the complex on our Tbilisi Gardens listings page, which updates as units come and go.
The location, in practical terms
Delisi metro is about a five-minute walk. Vazha-Pshavela Avenue sits roughly 200 meters away, which is what makes the location work: you can get to Vake, the center, or the airport road without fighting through side streets. The airport itself is around 45 minutes by car in normal traffic.
The nearest bus stop is about 360 meters out, served by a dozen routes running every ten minutes or so.
For families, the schools nearby matter more than the metro. The European School is in the area, along with Public School No. 52 and a handful of private options. Tbilisi State University and Tbilisi State Medical University are both close, which is a big part of why Saburtalo rents stay stable year to year. Students and academics don’t leave in winter the way short-term tourists do.
Green space is decent for a district this dense. Red Park is a short walk. Mitskevich Park, Godziashvili Park, and the grounds around the Ethnographic Museum are all within reach. Mikheil Meskhi Stadium is nearby if you follow football.

What you get inside the gate
This is where Tbilisi Gardens separates itself from most Tbilisi new builds, where “amenities” often means a lobby with a sofa in it.
- A 375 square meter fitness center, open around the clock
- An indoor pool complex of roughly 1,100 square meters, including a 25 meter lap lane, a children’s section, and saunas
- About 21,000 square meters of landscaped park inside the gates, designed by Italian landscape architects
- Concierge staff in the lobby
- A diesel generator that keeps elevators and core systems running during outages, plus a dedicated water reservoir
- Children’s playground and an outdoor fitness area, residents only
That generator and water tank line sounds boring until your first winter power cut on floor 24. It’s one of the real reasons long-term expat tenants stay in this building instead of moving somewhere cheaper.
White frame, green frame, and why your budget is wrong
Newcomers get caught by this constantly.
A white frame apartment is a concrete shell. Walls, windows, a front door, utility connections stubbed in. No flooring, no kitchen, no bathroom fixtures, no interior doors. Green frame is a step further along, with some plastering and prep work done, so you’re closer to move-in but still finishing the place yourself.
Tbilisi Gardens sells in both formats. So when you see a sale price, ask which one you’re looking at before you compare it to anything.
A realistic fit-out on a mid-sized unit here runs into tens of thousands of dollars once you count a kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, doors, lighting, and furniture at a standard that matches the building. It also takes months, and you’ll be managing contractors in a language you may not speak. Some buyers love that. Some regret it by week six.
The alternative is buying a renovated resale unit from a private owner, which costs more per square meter but ships with a finished interior. Both routes show up in our luxury listings.
What it costs
Numbers move, so treat these as reference points rather than quotes.
On the developer side, prices started around $2,670 per square meter as of mid-August 2026, with one-bedroom layouts of about 68 square meters from roughly $183,000 and larger four-room units above $530,000. Financing is available through TBC Bank, and the developer has offered installment plans starting at 30% down over a short term.
On the resale and rental side, here’s what’s actually passed through our books recently:
- A 51 square meter one-bedroom in white frame condition, listed at $158,100
- A furnished 127 square meter two-bedroom rental at $3,500 per month
- An 86 square meter one-bedroom rental at $1,300 per month
Look at those last two and you’ll notice the rent gap is far wider than the size gap. Furnishing quality and finish standard drive rent in this building more than square meters do. A well-styled, Airbnb-ready two-bedroom can rent for nearly triple a plain one-bedroom that’s only 40% smaller.
One more line item people forget: the complex has a maintenance company, and the service charge is real money every month. On rentals it typically falls to the tenant along with utilities. On purchases, ask for the current per-square-meter charge in writing before you sign anything.
Who it suits, and who it doesn’t
We’d point you here if you want security and amenities without managing anything yourself, if you travel often and want a building where you can lock the door and disappear for six weeks, if you have kids who’d use a pool and a playground, or if you’re buying to rent out to corporate and diplomatic tenants who screen by building name.
We’d point you elsewhere if you came to Georgia for the courtyards, the carved wooden balconies, and the noise of an old neighborhood. Tbilisi Gardens is a good tower. It is not Tbilisi in the way most people mean when they say they want to live in Tbilisi. Plenty of our clients spend a year here, learn the city, then move to Vera or Sololaki once they know what they actually want.
We’d also flag it if your budget is tight after the purchase price. Between the fit-out and the monthly service charge, this is a building with a running cost, not just a sticker price.
Buying here as a foreigner
Foreign nationals can own apartments in Georgia in their own name without residency, and the registration process at the Public Service Hall is fast by international standards, often same-day. Agricultural land is a different story and has its own restrictions, but that doesn’t touch a purchase in a tower.
Two things worth doing regardless of which agent you use:
- Get the extract from the public registry and confirm the seller on the title matches the person signing, with no liens attached.
- For a resale in Tower 1 or Tower 2, ask what’s been done to the unit since handover and get the service charge account confirmed as current. Arrears follow the property, not the person who ran them up.
Come look at what’s available
We list across the complex and the surrounding district, and we’re happy to tell you when a unit isn’t worth the asking price. That’s usually the more useful conversation.
Start with current Tbilisi Gardens availability, widen out with our property search, or just contact us and tell us your budget, your timeline, and whether you’re willing to run a renovation. We’ll tell you honestly whether this building is your answer.
