Alaa's take on Batumi
“Batumi is a summer beach city built on a huge stock of high-rise apartments, so supply is the first thing I look at. July and August bring Turkish, Armenian and Israeli families to the Boulevard, while casinos keep some weekends busy all year. The rest of the year many towers stand half empty and prices collapse fast. I win on position and view in summer, then hold casino weekends and set floors that stop a race to the bottom in winter.”
