Onward development: Proposed 70,000-seater stadium in Tbilisi, Georgia
The Georgia government is pushing forward with an ambitious plan to build a new 70,000-seat stadium, located near Tbilisi International Airport. The project, classified as an 'urgent public need', covers a total area of 270,615 square meters along the Kakheti Highway.
The construction timeline, once negotiations are finalized, is expected to take about 51 months (4 years and 3 months), with an estimated opening date between 2029 and 2030. The stadium development is being carried out through an international tender worth GEL 876 million.
Most of the stadium site is state-owned, but a significant portion is privately owned, including the International Black Sea University campus, which spans 101,000 square meters. Negotiations are ongoing between the state and the owners of the university regarding the stadium project.
The Ministry of Economy has authorized the Municipal Development Fund to expropriate private land for the project. A 540-square-meter plot owned by Luka Jincharadze is being expropriated for the stadium project. Any disputes over compensation for the expropriated land will be settled in court.
The order authorizing the land expropriation was published in the Legislative Herald. The state is reclaiming land with fair and preliminary compensation for the stadium project. However, the exact extent of the state-owned land within the stadium site was not specified in the provided paragraph.
It's worth noting that the search results do not provide any information about the owners of the International Black Sea University or their negotiations with the government regarding the sale or development of the university grounds for building a new stadium in Tbilisi. Similarly, the timeline for the finalization of negotiations with the university was not specified in the provided paragraph.
The stadium project involves compulsory purchase of private land, a move that has been deemed necessary for the urgent public need. The construction of this new stadium is set to be a significant addition to the city's landscape and infrastructure, offering a modern and spacious venue for various events and sports competitions.
