What does "white frame" mean in Batumi property listings?
White frame means a unit delivered without finishing, flooring or fittings. Here is how it differs across Batumi's collection, from Artex Parkline to the fully furnished branded residences.
White frame refers to a unit delivered at a structural stage, with walls, a shell and basic systems in place, but without interior finishing, flooring, kitchen or fittings; the buyer arranges and budgets for the finish separately. This is a common delivery condition in the Batumi collection, though it is not the only one, and it varies project by project.
How this plays out across Batumi's projects
Artex Parkline is delivered white frame, unfurnished, with the developer offering credit and instalment options for the purchase itself, not the finishing. Gate by Artex offers a choice between white frame or a fully renovated unit, confirmed at the point of purchase. NEXT Gardens offers a renovated-finish option as an alternative to its standard delivery. At the other end of the spectrum, Radisson Blu Residences Gonio and Wyndham Residences, both developed by NEXT Group, are delivered fully furnished as branded residences, since furnishing is part of their branded hospitality offer. Our guides on branded residences in Dubai explained and whether a branded residence is worth it cover the same furnished-versus-unfinished question in a different market, with the same underlying logic: a branded hotel operator's offer typically bundles furnishing in, while a standard off-plan purchase usually does not.

Why the finishing budget is a separate question
None of Batumi's fiches publish a figure for the cost of finishing a white-frame unit, flooring, kitchen, bathroom fittings, paint and fixtures all add up to an amount that depends on your choices and your contractor. Budgeting for this separately from the unit price avoids a common surprise for a first-time off-plan buyer: the published entry price covers the shell, not a move-in-ready home, unless the project specifically states otherwise, as Radisson Blu and Wyndham do.
