Archi and BI Group — Central Asia’s Largest Developer — Announce Strategic Partnership

Archi, the #1 development company in Georgia, announces a strategic partnership with BI Group, the largest developer in Central Asia.

 

The cooperation aim to jointly deliver international-standard projects in Georgia. Founded in Kazakhstan, BI Group now operates across these regions: Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, the United States, the United Arab Emirates (Dubai) and the Eastern Europe. Founded 30 years ago, the company has delivered up to 9 million square meters of residential real estate, accommodating more than 600,000 residents.

 

In 2025 alone, the company’s annual turnover exceeded $3 billion.  The real estate consulting company Cushman & Wakefield Veritas ranked BI Group among the world’s largest developers, placing it first by residential delivery volume (2.4 million sq.m delivered in 2025). The Kazakh developer has surpassed the performance of well-known companies such as EMAAR (United Arab Emirates, 1.84 million sq.m.). The company’s current portfolio includes more than 250 residential, industrial, civil, and social infrastructure projects.

 

The agreement between the leading developers marks a new stage for Georgia’s real estate sector. The partnership focuses on joint developments and the introduction of the latest international standards. As part of the collaboration, BI Group will implement advanced construction practices and digital technologies. The parties are expected to announce a joint multifunctional residential complex in the near future.

 

“Strong international assessments of Georgia’s investment environment, along with its economic growth indicators and pace of development, create a solid foundation for a large-scale partnership. We are proud that BI Group is entering the Georgian market in cooperation with Archi. Following the entry of Eagle Hills, this is another major investment that will significantly contribute to the country’s economic development,” said Ilia Tsulaia, Founder of Archi.

 

“We are happy to collaborate with Archi. Our goal is to contribute to the development of distinctive projects in Georgia through the implementation of our international expertise and innovative business practices. We believe that the trends currently emerging in Georgia reflect the urban development patterns seen across leading global megacities over the past decade. Major UAE players entering the region is a great signal to the Georgian market. With its economic progress and results, Georgia fully meets the expectations of global investors,” said Amangeldy Omarov, CEO and shareholder of BI Development International.

 

It is worth noting that Archi Group has recently announced the landmark project, Trump Tower Tbilisi, which has been described as a historic milestone and the beginning of major opportunities. Archi Group is implementing the project in partnership with collaborators. This is the first project in the region under the Trump brand.
