Pridon Katamadze, Co- founder of the company "Ambassador Batumi Island” declares that construction of the first palm-shaped artificial island will be finished by 2028. According to him, at this stage the preliminary works on the territory are already started, which will probably take over 1-1.5 years. After the research works, the construction will start, for which 5 years are determined according to the plan.
"Work on the project started 4 years ago after we explored the Bartskhana-Benze coastline at the entrance to Batumi. There were interesting data and the fact that we have a high-quality rock mass in Georgia, which should be arranged and built on this island, made the project profitable and actually feasible. Since then we have been working on the conceptual design of the project, this is the final option that ideally fits the area and technical data we have”, - Katamadze said.
According to Co- founder of the company "Ambassador Batumi Island”, this year the company will start in-depth research.
“We will invite international architects, designers, constructors and as soon as the economic viability is approved, the construction will start. We think that it will take 5 years to build the island,” Katamadze explained.
