We currently work with several international investors who allocate capital into Tbilisi

A local investment team in Tbilisi, without building one.

We source, underwrite and manage real-estate investments in Tbilisi for family offices, private investment offices and international private investors. You do not need a team on the ground to make a $1 million, $3 million or $5 million allocation. If Georgia is relevant to your mandate, we can show you what we're seeing.

Who this is for

Organizations whose job is to allocate capital, and the advisers who sit beside them.

  • Family offices

    Single-family and multi-family offices, and the private investment offices and holding companies through which families invest. Real estate is typically a direct allocation.

  • Private investors

    High-net-worth individuals allocating $500K to $20M across markets, who want emerging-market residential exposure without building a local team.

  • Real-estate funds and private equity

    Co-investment, portfolio acquisitions and local execution under a fund's own mandate and reporting standards.

  • Developers and hospitality groups

    Land, development and hotel assets, handled with our development and larger-mandate desk and joint-venture structures.

  • Diaspora and regional investors

    Georgian-American networks and regional emerging-market investors who already know the country and want disciplined underwriting on the ground.

  • Advisers and intermediaries

    Private bankers, wealth managers, lawyers and tax advisers whose clients are asking about Georgia. We work alongside you, not around you.

Typical allocation with us: $1M to $5M, usually structured across two or three strategies. Larger mandates are structured case by case. The three strategies.

Why Tbilisi

Three reasons international capital is paying attention.

Still small.

Compared with the major European markets, Tbilisi is small. That is the point. There are opportunities here that are difficult to find in mature markets, and a well-run local process still finds mispriced assets.

Income that is real.

Residential and hospitality assets produce relatively attractive income yields. The Tbilisi average gross rental yield is 7.53% (Global Property Guide, February 2026), and rental income for individuals is taxed at a flat 5%.

A gap we close.

Someone sitting in Dubai, Paris or London does not necessarily know which developer is good, which building has problems, what rents actually clear, or what the exit market looks like. We do, and we publish our data.

Foreign demand already exists: international buyers took roughly a quarter of Tbilisi primary-market sales, led by Israeli buyers at about 10% (Galt & Taggart). Full dashboard on the Intelligence Center.

What we do

Closer to a local investment team than a broker, for as long as you hold the asset.

  1. Market intelligence
  2. Opportunity sourcing
  3. Due diligence
  4. Acquisition
  5. Renovation
  6. Leasing
  7. Property management
  8. Portfolio reporting
  9. Exit, or the next acquisition

Intelligence

District pricing, rents that actually clear, transaction volumes, the development pipeline and foreign-buyer flows, published quarterly with the method in the open. What we monitor.

Execution

We negotiate the acquisition, structure ownership with your counsel and ours, coordinate renovation with our own crews, lease the property and manage it afterward. How we work.

Reporting

Monthly owner statements, a permanent payment ledger and projected-versus-actual returns in the owner portal, plus the quarterly market report. The owner portal.

How it starts

With your mandate, not a property list.

"We're not looking to sell you a particular apartment at this stage. What we're trying to do is understand whether Tbilisi fits your investment mandate. If it does, we identify opportunities that actually fit your criteria."How the first conversation goes

What we ask you

  • Asset class, strategy and geography you already invest in

  • Direct ownership or through a fund

  • Typical ticket size, and what $5M instead of $2M would change

  • Who else would normally be involved: investment director, legal counsel, tax adviser, family representative

  • How an investment like this normally moves through your office

What you receive first

  • An honest read on whether Georgia belongs in your portfolio

  • The current Tbilisi market report and what we are seeing

  • Two or three investments that fit what you described, not a catalogue

  • Each as an investment memo: acquisition price, required equity, expected rental income, operating expenses, projected yield, downside case, exit assumptions, risks and our role. The memo format.

The questions we expect

What an investment committee asks, and where we answer it.

What is the downside?

Every memo carries a downside case: rents 15% lower, six months longer to stabilize. Memo format.

Who is operating this, and can we trust them?

Two named principals, a published data platform, and live reporting for owners who already hold assets with us. The team.

What is the expected return?

Gross and net yield, NOI, cash-on-cash, IRR and equity multiple, sourced and dated, per opportunity. Underwriting checklist.

What happens if we put $5M instead of $2M?

The allocation is structured across two or three strategies, not one building. Three strategies.

How do we structure ownership?

Direct title, or your own entity, set up with your counsel and ours. Foreign ownership of apartments in Georgia is straightforward; we explain where it is not.

How do we protect the capital?

Entry below comparable sales, title diligence with licensed counsel, and no pooled capital: you hold the asset. Process and fees.

Who else is investing?

Foreign buyers took roughly a quarter of primary-market sales (Galt & Taggart). We work with several international investors today.

Can this be repeated?

Yes. Reporting on the first acquisition is what earns the second, and the process is the same each time. The path.

Evidence

What we have done, on the record.

  • Hotel acquisition, Bakuriani

    From a €620K asking price to a $424K all-in acquisition of a bank-owned hotel. Negotiation, diligence and closing handled on the ground. Case study.

  • 75 apartments in 8 weeks

    A corporate relocation of an entire team, with leases sourced, negotiated and supported at scale. Case study.

  • A sale with both parties abroad

    Buyer and seller each abroad, completed under power of attorney without either flying in. Case study.

  • Full investment management

    Tenants, maintenance, rent collection and monthly statements for owners who live abroad, at 8% of collected rent. Management terms.

  • The owner portal

    Live for our managed owners: statements, a permanent payment ledger, projected versus actual, and exit maths. About the portal.

  • Public market data

    District scores with the formula in the open, quarterly reports, and a downloadable investor guide. Intelligence Center.

A candid note. We are a two-founder firm, not a global advisory house. Our largest closed transaction to date is $400,000, and this practice is built mandate by mandate. What you get in exchange: the principals on your deal, success-based economics, and a public platform that shows exactly how we think. We expect to be judged on four things: competence, discretion, results and reliability.

The team

The people on your deal, by name.

Compensation

There is no buyer-side acquisition commission. On transactions where the seller or developer has a brokerage agreement with us, our commission is paid by them. Services outside the transaction, such as renovation management, property management, asset management, portfolio reporting, due diligence coordination and leasing, are agreed separately and in writing. Licensed legal, tax and technical partners bill their diligence work directly and transparently.
