According to Azeri-Press News Agency, the invitation-only celebration took place at Tbilisi's iconic Funicular, gathering international business leaders, project partners, investors, celebrities, artists, influencers, and global media for the first official unveiling of Trump Tower Tbilisi. This signature landmark will anchor the approximately US$2 billion Downtown Tbilisi development.
Guests were treated to a multimedia presentation and official unveiling of the vision, architecture, and lifestyle behind Trump Tower Tbilisi, set against the dramatic backdrop of Tbilisi's illuminated skyline. The event blended Georgian culture with international glamour, featuring performances by Grammy Award-winning artist CeeLo Green and internationally acclaimed DJ and producer Francis Mercier.
The celebration served as the first major public showcase of Downtown Tbilisi and highlighted the international ambitions behind the new mixed-use destination planned beside the city's Central Park. Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization, expressed excitement for Tbilisi's future as an international investment and real estate destination.
Trump Tower Tbilisi is being developed in collaboration with The Trump Organization as part of the broader Downtown Tbilisi development. Archi Group and INVIA are the main partners and developers, with The Sapir Organization as co-developer and Block Stone Capital, Finvest Georgia, and Vector Group as minority partners. Together, these entities aim to transform the way people live, work, shop, and experience Tbilisi.
Designed by Gensler Washington, D.C., Trump Tower Tbilisi will be a 62-storey architectural landmark, reaching approximately 280 meters, making it the tallest building in Georgia and creating a new presence on the capital's skyline.
Ilia Tsulaia, Co-Founder and Chairman of the Board of Archi Group, noted the international interest in the project, drawing parallels to Dubai's emergence as a global destination. Levan Pkhakadze, Founder and CEO of INVIA, emphasized the combination of global design, the Trump brand legacy, and local market expertise in the development.
Alex Sapir, Chairman and CEO of The Sapir Organization, described the project as transformative, set to redefine Tbilisi's skyline and establish a new benchmark for high-end residential development in the region.
Downtown Tbilisi is envisioned as a city-within-a-city on an eight-hectare site beside Tbilisi's Central Park. The development will include six towers and approximately 6.4 million square feet of gross building area, offering retail, office, hotel, and residential spaces.
The development is financed through a package provided by TBC Bank and Bank of Georgia. Georgia continues to attract international investors, residents, and visitors, recording average annual real economic growth of roughly 9 percent over the past four years.
For the guests gathered above Tbilisi on September 15, the evening represented a celebration of the city's future and the unveiling of a new development. Trump Tower Tbilisi's launch has put an international spotlight on Tbilisi as an emerging destination for investment, business, and sophisticated urban living.
