Private Investments
Land, development, equity in projects. Capital protection in an unfamiliar market.
How we work in this area
Sourcing land plots for a specific brief.
Verifying land status, utilities and zoning.
Equity structures and partnership schemes.
Project management through pre-construction.
What determines the value of a plot
Land in itself is not an investment. Value is created by permitted use, building parameters, surrounding infrastructure, development potential, and the ability to exit the project later. Price per square metre is therefore not enough to base a decision on.
What to understand before buying
- legal status of the plot and any encumbrances;
- official road access;
- zoning, designated use, and building coefficients;
- utilities and the cost of connecting them;
- the intended use scenario for the plot;
- infrastructure and how the surrounding area is developing;
- project economics and liquidity at exit.
Specialist checks, including cadastral, legal, and technical, are carried out by the relevant professionals. My role is to bring their findings together into a single investment picture and assess how they affect the decision.
The Track Record section includes a project where selecting and preparing a plot of around 22 hectares near Tbilisi became part of the investment model rather than a standalone land purchase.
If land is still just an idea at this stage, start with a pre-investment assessment. If a specific plot has already been found, the next step is a deal audit. Once the decision is made, the next step is deal support.
