Babillon Tower

Azure Tower, also known as Babillon Tower (Georgian: ბაბილონის კოშკი) is a residential skyscraper in Batumi, Georgia. Standing at 171.7 m (563 ft) tall with 47 floors, it is the tallest residential building in Georgia. The tower forms part of Batumi’s recent wave of high-rise development, which has contributed to the city’s growing tourism and real estate sectors. Construction of the project was overseen by Omer Ilknur and was originally planned to include a four-star hotel, casino, residences, social facilities, retail spaces, offices, cafés, restaurants, and bars. The project experienced significant delays. Although the tower was initially scheduled for completion in 2015, the original developer, TAM GEO LLC, failed to meet its contractual obligations. In May 2019, the Government of Georgia sold the unfinished multi-story building to MC Construction through an online auction. The auction opened at 24.5 million GEL, approximately 33% lower than the starting price of a previous unsuccessful auction. Construction was later resumed and ultimately completed in June 2024.
