Makhinjauri and Green Cape sit north of central Batumi, near the city's botanical garden, and hold two notably different projects in Orven's collection: a completed building and an off-plan release. For an Israeli buyer weighing ready stock against a reservation on plan, this guide sets out what each one publishes.

A quieter setting than Gonio or the New Boulevard

Both Mziuri Gardens and NEXT Collection sit further from the hotel-branded cluster in Gonio and from the city-centre activity of the New Boulevard. The area tends to suit a buyer who prioritises a calmer surrounding, whether the apartment is for personal use, longer-term rental or a mix of both, over proximity to a resort-style amenity cluster.

Mziuri Gardens: already built

Mziuri Gardens is complete and ready, developed by Mziuri Development, with 581 serviced apartments, private beach access by walkway and elevator, two outdoor pools, an indoor pool, a spa, a fitness facility, five restaurants and underground parking. Because the building already exists, a buyer here is choosing between resale units or developer-held inventory rather than an off-plan reservation, with questions about current occupancy and condition replacing the usual construction-stage questions. The entry price is not published on an official source available to Orven.

NEXT Collection: off-plan, with a promotional discount

NEXT Collection, developed by NEXT Group in Green Cape, is a low, curved building with sea-facing terraces, still off-plan, with an entry price of USD 80,000. NEXT Group has announced a 5% discount on some payment terms, without publishing the full detail of which plans qualify. Payment plan and delivery date are both on request.

Comparing the two on what matters most

	Mziuri Gardens	NEXT Collection
Status	Ready	Off-plan
Developer	Mziuri Development	NEXT Group
Units	581 serviced apartments	Studios and multi-room apartments
Entry price	On request	USD 80,000
Distinctive feature	Private beach access by walkway and elevator	5% discount announced on some terms

A buyer who wants to move in or rent out immediately, without waiting through a construction schedule, looks toward Mziuri Gardens. A buyer comfortable with an off-plan timeline, and drawn to a lower, curved building rather than a large complex, considers NEXT Collection instead.

Georgia's residence permit in this area

Georgia's law on the legal status of foreigners, article 15(j), opens a short-term residence permit, renewable one year at a time, to a foreign owner, a spouse and children, once a certified expert values the property above USD 150,000 equivalent in GEL. At USD 80,000, a single NEXT Collection unit sits well below that figure; Mziuri Gardens cannot yet be assessed without a published price. Eligibility always depends on the certified expert's valuation, not the catalogue price, and is subject to conditions confirmed with the Georgian authorities.

Tax that applies to both

Rental income earned by an individual in Georgia is taxed at 5% of the gross amount under article 81 paragraph 2 of the tax code, whichever of the two projects you choose. A capital gain on a sale after more than two years of ownership is exempt from the 5% rate under article 82 paragraph 1(f.a), a rule that applies immediately to a ready unit at Mziuri Gardens and later, after handover, to NEXT Collection.

Title and registration

Both projects register ownership through Georgia's National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR), with official fees of GEL 150, 270 or 350 depending on processing speed. A local Georgian lawyer should verify the title before you sign, whether that means checking an existing title at Mziuri Gardens or reviewing the off-plan contract for NEXT Collection.

Questions to ask before choosing between the two

For Mziuri Gardens: is the unit on offer a resale from an existing owner or developer-held inventory, and what is its current occupancy status if it is already tenanted.
For NEXT Collection: which specific payment terms the announced 5% discount applies to, and whether that changes depending on the unit you reserve.
For either project: what the exact fees are at NAPR registration, GEL 150, 270 or 350 depending on processing speed, and who is expected to pay them under the contract.
For either project: whether a certified expert valuation has already been carried out, which is the figure that decides eligibility for Georgia's residence permit, not the catalogue price.

What a buyer coming from Israel typically wants confirmed first

Distance from central Batumi matters less to most buyers here than two practical questions: how quickly a unit can be put to use, and how clear the paperwork trail is. At Mziuri Gardens, that means asking for the building's management arrangement and recent service charge history before assuming a smooth handover of an existing unit. At NEXT Collection, it means asking NEXT Group for the same level of contract detail it has not yet published for other projects in its Batumi portfolio, so you are not reserving against a payment plan that is still undefined.
