Ortachala district in Tbilisi is rapidly becoming one of the most attractive hotspots for property buyers. Just 10 minutes from the old center, a new modern neighborhood is emerging here with developed infrastructure and affordable prices. The Metropol company is building two high-rise buildings here with commercial spaces on the ground floors, parking, and residential apartments from the sixth floor up. In this review, we'll break down what makes this project unique, what layouts are available, and why Ortachala is becoming a new magnet for living and investment in Tbilisi.
Why Ortachala Is Becoming a New Hotspot
Ortachala is a district that is actively developing in both low-rise and high-rise construction. Its main advantage is its proximity to the center. From the Metropol complex to the sulfur baths and the old town, it's literally a 10-minute drive along a straight road. At the same time, prices here are significantly lower than in Vake or Saburtalo, where the price per square meter already exceeds $2,000.
Unlike many other areas where development is chaotic, Ortachala is being built according to modern standards. Underground parking, well-planned infrastructure, and commercial spaces on the ground floors are all part of the design. This makes the neighborhood self-sufficient — residents don't need to leave the area for their daily needs.
In addition, Ortachala has everything necessary for life: schools, kindergartens, hospitals, shops, pharmacies, tennis courts, and skate parks. The Kura River flows nearby, adding a special atmosphere to the area.

Metropol Ortachala Complex: Two Blocks with Thoughtful Infrastructure
Metropol takes a comprehensive approach to the project. Unlike many developers who first sell one block and then announce the construction of new ones, here two blocks have been announced from the start. They are already under construction — the first four floors have been built. Completion is scheduled for summer 2028.
Complex structure:
This architecture has an important advantage: residential floors start from the sixth level, providing good views and protection from street noise. The first five floors act as a noise-reflecting screen, so even during the busiest times of the day, the apartments will be quiet.
Complex structure:
- Floors 1–2 — commercial spaces (shops, cafes, pharmacies)
- Floors 3–4 — parking
- Floor 5 — office spaces
- Floor 6 and above — residential apartments

Purchase Terms at Metropol Ortachala: Flexible Installments and Assignment Rights
Metropol offers several payment options:
1. 20% down payment — the most favorable terms
2. 10% down payment — a more accessible entry point, but with a slightly higher price per square meter.
3. 0% down payment — maximum flexibility, but the price per square meter is even higher.
The larger the down payment, the lower the final cost of the apartment. For example, with a 20% down payment, the same apartment will cost less than with a 10% down payment.
Important advantage: Metropol allows assignment of rights at all stages of construction. This means you can sell the apartment before receiving the keys, and the new buyer will take over all installment rights. This makes the investment more liquid and flexible.
