Tbilisi City Hall says investor Rike Dom LLC has not submitted a specific development project for the Rike Jugs site, rejecting reports that a 10-story hotel is planned for the location.
The municipality said the Transport and Urban Development Agency has received an application seeking approval of planning terms for a detailed development regulation plan for the Rike area. However, no specific building design or proposed number of floors has been submitted at this stage.
Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze said no decisions would be made behind closed doors and that a construction permit would be considered only after a specific project aligned with the city’s urban development requirements was submitted.
According to the application, the investor is seeking to change the site’s zoning from Recreational Zone 2 and Transport Zone 1 to Public-Business Zone 2 across the entire property.
