Israeli Buyers Fuel Georgia Real Estate Boom Ahead of Trump Tower Launch
Israeli investors drive Georgia's real estate market, representing 50% of foreign buyers in 2025. Archi group advances expansion with the launch of the 66-story Trump Tower Tbilisi.
Israeli investors have become the number-one foreign real estate buyers in Georgia, accounting for roughly 50% of foreign purchases in 2025 with about 2,000 transactions, according to Mani Benish, founder and partner at Archi, a leading Georgian real estate group founded in 2006. With daily flights connecting Israel to Tbilisi and Batumi, Georgia has emerged as a premier destination for both tourism and property investment, drawing interest due to lower entry prices and attractive yields.
The Launch of Trump Tower Tbilisi
Archi is spearheading one of its most ambitious projects to date: the launch of Trump Tower Tbilisi, the crown jewel of the Down Town Tbilisi master development. The 66-story luxury tower, designed by international architectural firm Gensler, will feature 900 residential units and stand as the tallest building in Georgia. The project is part of a massive $2 billion urban complex spanning 600,000 square meters, developed in partnership with Invia and The Trump Organization.
"We are talking about a flagship project from every perspective. In a country where the average monthly wage is $600 to $700, we are launching a tower where starting prices begin at $7,000 per square meter," says Benish, who also serves as Georgia's honorary consul in Israel.
Investment Appeal and Flexible Financing
While standard Archi developments in districts like Didi Digomi and Isani offer more accessible pricing ranging from $1,600 to $5,500 per square meter, Trump Tower targets international investors and high-net-worth individuals. To ease capital requirements, buyers in the Trump Tower project pay 20% down, with the remainder spread across 60 monthly installments without interest or indexation. A 50-square-meter apartment is projected to yield monthly rental incomes of approximately $2,000 after management fees, managed exclusively by Archi Rent.
The official launch event on September 15, estimated to cost $1 million, drew elite figures including Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze, and Eric Trump, who greeted attendees via video link. With Archi selling 3,002 units across Tbilisi and Batumi in 2025 to buyers from 37 different countries, the Georgian real estate market continues to solidify its position as a global investment magnet.
